Brand New Heavies were always considered Acid Jazz. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

I think its impossible to apply a term that was developed in the 90s to an artist who emerged in the 80s. Totally different contexts. [Edited 1/26/10 16:38pm] | |

She's a chill artist that appeals to middle aged, balding men and menopausal women. All you others say Hell Yea!!  | |

Not when she first came out. Sade's music was all over pop radio. Therefore, teens and adults loved her. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

A lot of the songs that were big in the late 80s and the early 90s could be classified as "neo-soul" musically. You can say that again. I definately noticed things getting worse beginning in the late 1980s and even worse in the 1990s. It was when this young group of black kids that were into this poetry reading started calling it "neo-soul".
That's a great description because whenever I hear neo soul music, I always think of a black version of those groups of people that used to wear black shades, black pants, and black turtleneck sweaters back in the 1960s gathering in a smoke filled club reading dorky poetry while some fool beats on some bongos. With neo soul, music seemed to be getting so uppity, elite, and "cultured".  Hell, put those damn poetry books down, speed things up, bring in some meaningless lyrics like "shake shake it baby" and get back to throwing down!

Wow! Any other categories that she might appeal to because I don't fall under any of those. And to answer the question, Nope. "Funkyslsistah… you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude"!
