I know that there has to be some Sade fans out there. By the way did you pick up Sweetback Stage 2 and Cottonbelly's X Amounts of Niceness? These two releases are both nice holdovers until the next Sade record. Sweetback being the Sade band with other vocalists (on this release Chocolate Genius, Aya, Ladybug of Digable Planets.) Cottonbelly is Stuart Matthewman's project (saxaphone/guitar of Sade), these are the best remixes he did between 1993 and 2004. Some of everything from Maxwell to Cirque du Soliel. I highly recommend both of these releases...you won't be disappointed.

I am a huge Sade fan and have all of the group's albums. Don't have the side projects though but I am always on the hunt for great music. I'll check them out. Thanks!!!

smooth operator?

Lover's Live on DVD is just about a perfect show.

im lost.


but i will say that i have recently been hipped to chocolate genious...but a very missed orger name rio. and I LOVE the albums he sent me....they are great.!

i am totally lost on the sade thing....

i'm a fan alright. "Is it a Crime" has to be one of her best sung ballads. and that saxophone in the back...oh my its even more powerful on the live cd she got.

i get the impression that these folks are not talking about THAT sade....

violett said:

Her full name is Helen Folasade Adu, they took her name as the band name, Sade. I guess that would be her nick name.

VinaBlue said:

ok...but we are talking about sade...as in...smooth operator sade??

violett said:

Yep. Those side projects mentioned are her band doing things when she takes a break, I think.

VinaBlue said:

violett said:

violett said:

Do you have any idea how bad I used to want that outfit?? It kills me! Where the fuck was I gonna wear it to

PurpleCharm said:

I agree with you 100%. Sade definitely brought class and elegance to pop, soul, and jazz. I miss hearing voice. I will be glad when she releases another album.

I would marry that woman at first sight. She is an extraordinary beauty and she is a fantastic singer, one of my very favorite singers. My favorite tracks:

Your Love Is King

Cherry Pie

Is It A Crime

You're Not The Man

No Ordinary Love

I Couldn't Love You More

Like A Tattoo

Kiss of Life

I know what you mean. That outfit is gorgeous. I haven't a clue where it could be worn, but I do know that it has to be worn without shoes..

We're here, waiting for her to get her heart broken again so she can put out another album

VinaBlue said:

I was at one of the 2 shows taped for the DVD -- and I still haven't seen it!!!!

INCREDIBLE SHOW!!!!

I expected a mellow, sit back, enjoy the groove show -- and it kicked my ass. I saw Prince, Madonna and Sade in 2001. My favorite? Sade, by a long shot. And I'm a BIG Prince/Madonna whore!!!!

Anyway -- love, love, love Sade.

I'm a huge Sade fan!! but I think people over hype her vocal talents! she's got a great tone to her voice but lacks range. the "SADE" project is a bit contrived ,"cool by numbers" they are meant to be a jazz/funk band for pedestrian music listeners. still I love what she does. just my opinion

I don't know about the funk part of that but they do what they do well. Her voice is unique and it works. The music dictates the voice necessary. Whitney Houston and Patti Labelle have/had crazy range but it wouldn't work as well. I agree that the band is contrived but that isn't such a bad thing in this case.

Anyway, I too love Sade's music and her in that dress. "Is it A Crime" is so good it hurts. My other favorites include War Of The Hearts, Jezebel, and anything off of Love Deluxe.

Love Sade!!!!!

Where are we? Everywhere! Sade's one of those musicians who are impossible to hate, like Paul Simon.
