Any Sade Fans? [ Merged ]

[Cinnamon234]

Does anyone else here like Sade? Me personally, I absolutely LOVE her. I think her voice is so distinctive and smooth. I don't think there is one song of hers that I don't like and all her albums are great IMO and she's absolutely beautiful too. Such a class act! I hope I see her in concert someday.


http://www.margencero.com/articulos/sade_2.jpg



Like I said I love all her songs but these in particular are my faves:

Kiss of Life
Your Love Is King
Love Is Stronger Than Pride
No Ordinary Love
Never As Good As The First Time
Paradise
The Sweetest Taboo
Smooth Opertor
Is It A Crime
Nothing Can Come Between Us
Lovers Rock
By Your Side



Only complaint I have is that I wish she'd release albums more often! She even takes longer than Mike lol...j/k :-P

[DANGEROUSx]

OH MY GOD ME! :wub:

Shes one of my fave artists :D I love her, shes so gorgeous. :wub:

[gemini27]

count me in as one of sade's fans! her exotic beauty definitely complements her sultry voice which I think is at its best with her rendition of " Is It a Crime"- actually one of my faves. Listene to her croon and it is not so hard to fall in love with that almost effortless, sexy voice ^_^

[Dangerous Incorporated]

I like Sade. She has such a smooth and soulful voice. I love Smooth Operator but thats obvious being her biggest hit.

[neems]

I love Sade, her voice is just so soothing. Smooth Operator and King of Sorrow are my favorite songs. :yes:

[CuriosityKills]

HELL YES!!!! Sade is a goddess her voice is like a hug from heaven :lol:

I love ALL of her songs but my favorite would be Cherish The Day, I will never get tired of that song .... and she looks so sexy in the video don't she? :flowers:

[Marni]

Sade is wonderful! Her voice is supreme, what a talent! Smooth Operator is a wonderful song- probably one of her best :yes:

[fani_mj]

I love "Smooth Operator" and I decided to share with you a live performance of this song, the singer is not Sade but another fan of this song - she is a very famous Bulgarian singer her name is Desislava...she did a very good job although her English is still not good, I know this as I've been her English teacher...

I've never heard anyone cover that song before, but that was pretty good. I like the fact that she didn't try to oversing the song or anything and sang it in a way that worked for her voice which is on the airy side, but I enjoyed that. Thx for posting!

Well when you get a chance, definitely try and check out her music! May I suggest her greatest hits album (The Best Of Sade), it's a pretty good album for new fans or people who are not too familiar with her music.

I'm glad you liked it :) this concert was actually shown here on New Year's eve, everybody I know liked it,she likes to experiment and sings different styles; during this concert she sang her all time favorite songs.
I had posted "Give in to me" from this concert too in the section "My MJ fave songs" obviously you haven't seen this,
I hope you'll like it too!

[dangerous_88]

Sade rocks she is THE BEST! So pleasant to hear her every time... So soothing and sexy music!

[BE.86]

She's suppose to be coming back soon with a new Album, I can't wait!:D I miss sade:(

[AGB]

I wouldn't say I'm a fan of Sade but I do like some of her songs, they are quite soothing. The ones I like are Your Love Is King, No Ordinary Love (really love this song), Smooth Operator and By Your Side (my friend says that's her wedding song lol).

[ladyplatinum]

Cinnamon234, I just received 2 DVDs of Sade from a friend who makes copies for sale of many entertainers. (Ask for a list)

His name is Jeff. This is his email address:

TradeAtape2658@aol.com (TradeAtape2658@aol.com)

The DVDs are in great quality and they cover a large volume of Sade's performances and interviews with dates and places. There are concert and full video clips and biographical information about her life and family.

Since you love her this might be a good edition to your DVD collection.

Just thought I'd let you know about this. Of course, it's up to you if you want to contact this person or not.

Thank u very much LadyPlatinum, I would in fact like to know more about this so I will PM you about this later.

[DuranDuran]

What a lot of folks don't realize is, it's not just Ms. Adu. It's also the group behind her with 3 other guys - Stuart Matthewman, Andrew Hale, & Paul Denman. Sometimes there's a 4th guy - Leroy Osbourne, but he's not an official member.

[BE.86]

here's some footage put together by, whom I would assume to be a fan, it gives you a little bit of insight on her background.:)

I hear Sade is working an album. I don't know she's actually recording or just writing.

[DuranDuran]

http://www.billboard.com/photos/stylus/103483-sade_617_409.jpg
Sade, the "quiet storm" R&B group featuring vocalist Sade Adu, has completed its long-awaited sixth studio album. "Soldier of Love," the band's first collection of new material since 2000's "Lover's Rock" will be released Feb. 8, 2010 worldwide on Epic.

As first revealed on Billboard.com in July, Sade and her longtime bandmates including Stuart Matthewman, a.k.a. Cottonbelly, regrouped in a U.K. recording studio in June and were recording and mixing into October.

Though no details about Sade's new music have yet been revealed, one artist heard early versions of several songs: Maxwell, a fellow Sony recording artist and longtime friend and collaborator with Matthewman. The R&B singer sent a message to fans in March via his private Facebook page in which he indicated that he'd heard some of his labelmate's new recordings. "Trust me, it's so monolithic it'll shake you in your shoes!" he wrote.

Sade's 2000 release, "Lovers Rock," sold 3,881,000 copies in the U.S. and the prior album, 1992's "Love Deluxe," sold 3,407,000. Since 1985's "Diamond Life" debut, Sade has sold nearly 17 million units in the U.S. alone according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Sade, the "quiet storm" R&B group featuring vocalist Sade Adu, has completed its long-awaited sixth studio album. "Soldier of Love," the band's first collection of new material since 2000's "Lover's Rock" will be released Feb. 8, 2010 worldwide on Epic.

Sade's new CD was tentatively scheduled for a November 2009 release in the States. Up until last week fans could go to her new website to hear an audio clip from that new album. They've pulled that audio clip down evidently.

Thanks for the update Duran Duran.

It would be great to hear some new material from Sade.

[#1MJstan]

This is my favorite Female artist of all time.. Loves Sade!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait for her Epicness

[DuranDuran]

What I like about Sade is that showbusiness and being seen all the time is not important to her.

[Ashtanga]

I love Sade! :wild: :wild: :wild:

I have all her albums! I hope that if she makes a tour, she comes to Brazil. :)

[Cinnamon234]

Yup. I read about this a few days ago. I love Sade and i'm very excited for her return. I love her music. Very talented lady.

[L.T.D]

Aww I thought this said 'Slade' :(

[adubbleSK]

Why does everyone like sade except me... she can sing... she makes good music i juss cant listen to it.... What am i doing wrong lol (it is tight that she gotta new cd coming out, longevity is hard keep) p.s. did anyone hear the maxwell album

[DuranDuran]

Sade is unique, she rarely releases anything so is never overexposed. She always mostly appealed to mature music listeners who are more loyal to what they like and aren't fickle like the average top 40 listener or teenybopper.

[Prince Of Pop]

I like her. She's got a great style. "Smooth Operator" will always be my favorite

Sade's 'Soldier Of Love' title track (from her February 2010 CD) has been posted and is now available to listen to.

CANNOT WAIT! I LOVE HER and missed her the last time she did a tour. I will SOOO be there whenever she announces concert dates!

[Ms. Emme7]

i heard her new song ("Soldier of Love") on the radio today. It's incredible! 10 years after her latest release and she still sounds the same. Her voice is simply flawless! So worth the wait!

I was never huge on her, but i'd be lying if I said the new song wasn't addictive. Maybe I'll check out her new album after all. :D

Extremely happy to see Sade back in action.

[Dangerous21.1]

anybody think the title is related to Michael? He talked about his Soldiers of Love a lot...

I've never seen this show, does the song have anything to do with it?

[Jstarr06]

Soldier of Love is a sexy song; real smooth. I'm glad her album is coming out sooner than later.

[Marty In LA]

I've never seen this show, does the song have anything to do with it?
I admit I've never seen the show either Duran Duran.

Do any of you 'Lost' fans know if this is the official song of the series this season?

I have noticed that all the ABC networks are running this same promo right now, Sade's getting heavy airplay even on the ESPN networks too.

[Starde]

LOVE Sade. It's great that she's coming back with new music. You wanna what I would've loved to see? A Sade and MJ duet. Oh man...

[RockWithYou28]

Sade just recently celebrated her 51st birthday.
Good lord, she is still sooo beautiful and her music timeless, my favorite female artist :wub:
Can't wait for the new album!

[micaro7]

Sade is one of my favorite artists. Her tone is hypnotic and depth of her lyrics are for mature audiences who appreciate music and talent But mostly I love that She is about the music and promotes that first. I know nothing about her private life and have no interest in finding out either. She fiercely private and mysterious and that's always a plus in my book.

[DIRTYDIANA☆]

I like her new song off of her new album called The Moon and the Sky..I can't wait until Soldier of Love Drops..so far i'm loving everything i'm hearing from her..

[IvoryKeys]

Is it sad I found this out through my 12 yr old sister because she saw Sade's MV on VH1 one morning? She loved it so much she bought the video for her iPod and showed me. Needless to say I was hypnotized. I can't wait for this album to drop!

Sade Emerges From Her Country Retreat
Sunday Edition UK Times
January 31, 2010

http://usera.ImageCave.com/andre1983/hfa013110.jpg

She is the most successful solo female artist Britain has ever produced: she has sold more than 50 [million] albums in a career that stretches back 27 years...

Audiences are noisily ecstatic in the presence of a performer who, unlike every other Brit-soul export, doesn’t try to play the gospel diva or even an American accent. Our transatlantic cousins like Sade, it seems, because she sounds like nobody but herself...

As an obstinately independent woman, long used to looking after herself, Sade is, as one old associate puts it, "no pushover" at the dating game. "I’ve paid some rugged dues," she observes of her romantic relationships...

As a teenager, she saw the Jackson 5 on television and was "more fascinated by the audience than by anything that was going on on the stage. They’d attracted kids, mothers with children, old people, white, black. I was really moved by that"...

"Whatever anybody might say about me, when I feel the warmth we get back from the audiences, particularly in America, I think it’s worth [it]. I actually prefer singing live now, I feel much more comfortable than I did...

i really do love this woman. Always have. I used to dance to her remixes at dance clubs. Beautiful tunes. My mom got me into Sade when i was kid back in the 80s. She still looks stunning.
Her face matches her music. Its so mellow and relaxing.

Nearly 10 years after the group's last studio effort, Sade is back with "Soldier of Love," blasting in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with 502,000 copies sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

"Solder of Love" gives Sade its first No. 1 debut and its best sales week since SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991. On top of that, it's the best sales week for an album by a group since AC/DC's "Black Ice" bulldozed into the chart at No. 1 on the chart dated Nov. 8, 2008, with 784,000.

"Soldier" is Sade's second No. 1 album. Its first, "Promise," spent two weeks at the top of the chart in 1986. The new album is also the first studio effort from the band -- led by vocalist Sade Adu -- since "Lovers Rock" was released in November of 2000. That set debuted and peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with 370,000 sold in its first week. Since its release, "Lovers Rock" has sold 3.9 million in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan.

All told, Sade has notched eight top 10 albums in a row on the Billboard 200 -- its entire output of albums, which stretches back to its "Diamond Life" debut in 1985. That total includes its six studio sets, one greatest hits ("The Best Of") and one live recording ("Lovers Live"). With that feat of eight top 10s, Sade is the first group since Led Zeppelin to see its first eight charting albums all reach the top 10. Led Zeppelin actually did it with its first 10 albums -- from 1969 with its self-titled No. 10-peaking set, up until 1983 when "Coda" topped out at No. 6.

[mistermaxxx]

i gotta say though i'm not a fan or just real casual with her, she might be the baddest act in the business just on the fact she doesn't change her style

no hot trends with sound, producers,coabs,etc..

takes her time ses out in the music store and concert has.

she is badd like that for no other reason. she does her own thing. gotta give her props

[enlightenu]

A long-time Sade fan here. My sister named her youngest daughter (who is now 25) after Sade.

I love Sade's music since she came out in the 80's. That band of hers is SICK!! Aside from her music, I like her image. I don't ever remember seeing her coming out in skimpy, trampy looking outfits, nor garish make-up and wild hair. Just the understated but classy trademark look of the pull-back ponytail and red lips. She always had that cool, classy, aloof vibe about her. She proves a female artist doesn't have to have busoms popping out and hindparts showing to be sexy. She's in her early 50's now and she still looks good..you go girl!

[FedoraHatGirl2058]

Sade is fantastic, i LOOOOOVE HER, she is pure talent,
i love her, see talent is talent, we need TALENT.


I love her Soldier Of Love song, has the vibe of some of the Invincible album, i love this woman, i love REAL talent.

[FedoraHatGirl2058]

Michael would have LOOOOVE this album....God, he loved talent...

[StaceyMJ]

I sooo want this album.

[FedoraHatGirl2058]

Sade names Michael on the song Skin

"like Michael back in the day" :) she is absolutely wonderful

[144,000]

i didn't get the same impression. neither, apparently, did a critic in l.a. weekly. this isn't honoring Michael.

and quite frankly, i never was a fan of hers.

[RockWithYou28]

^^^
What was your impression of the song?

I don't think Sade would show any disprespect to someone that is a musical icon, who just passed away. That would make no sense considering the attention put on her album. :no:

My take on the song is that the use of Michael's name and the use of the word skin have no relation.
The song talks about ending a relationship, and she speaks of Michael with the words:
"Sure as it's gonna play and play, like Michael back in the day"
Making a reference most likely to the Thriller era, how big he was at that point.
She's using that as a comparison to show how big the amount of pain and heartache she's feeling from realizing the relationship is over, and how these feelings are just being "replayed," so she understands the necessity of mentally ridding herself completely from this man, hence needing to "peel [him] away," and to "wash [him] off [her] skin."

No disrespect I'm getting from that, not really a tribute either, just a comparison. :)

because, for me...and for some critics(ironically, because i don't like critics) the metaphor is all that is needed.

songwriting is clever.

but the reality is...Michael Jackson and peeling of skin, put together, sounds like what it sounds like. the two subjects didn't have to be used in the same song, but they were.

but again, songwriting can be clever, can't it?

it really doesn't matter what she was thinking.

and..yes..while, in your view, she wouldn't do that to him..

in my view...why wouldn't she? because she presents a certain image that supposedly flies in the face of such a possibility? that doesn't prove anything to me.

the idea that MJ was the ish 'back in the day'...

why wasn't he the ish, all his life? there are many who think he was.
that's my impression.

Music critics always hated Michael Jackson, now because Sade who is a great musician is singing about him, they just need to throw stones....

No matter if the song would have said "Michael is genius" they would have found the way to belittle it... its a FACT,
now they got the perfection reason, "Skin" and Michael Jackson= vitiligo and the lie about Michael bleaching his "skin", they OF COURSE manipulated it in their own way... they SUPPORT OTHER MUSICIANS.... its LOW AND OBVIOUS.... we know who they support and WHY they support other musical styles, its getting TOO OBVIOUS...


Music critics always hated Michael Jackson... they never fully understood his music, specially his latest works.... Michael is genius, and MANY music critics are EAR LIMMITED... thats why they are CRITICS and not real musicians, may be they play something, but they are NOT TALENTED ENOUGH, envy. I JUST SAID ist envy, jelousy.


Some fans should know this ages ago, i feel like im the only one capable of noticing this.... some fans need to stop beeing limmited.... sorry, but you are beeing that way, music critics are not the musicians.... :)

[FedoraHatGirl2058]

Sade is fantastic

[TillitsGone]

MJ's name is used as a metaphor for love/emotions, nothing more, nothing less.

Anyway, Skin is my favorite song off the album. I wonder if Sade will be touring anytime soon?

each fan has his or her own interpretation. it's not right to belittle other fans for their idea.

i'm not limited. i appreciate Michael Jackson. i don't know that you saw the critic i was referring to. or what my opinion of that critic was.

i felt the critic was using the words and their happened placement in the lyric for a vicarious perverse thrill at MJ's expense. and that critic was glad to mention it, and i blasted the critic. and i don't appreciate that the words skin, and peel, and Michael Jackson, are in the same lyric. i know what people would want to do with that. but, as you can see...i had nothing disrespectful to say about other fans, because of their opinions. Gaz said we are not to disrespect other members. i have my opinion of the lyric, and everyone else on here, has theirs.

that critic i was referring to, was praising Sade. and through that lyric, he himself got a perverse thrill from making the connection that i didn't appreciate, that i felt was at Michael's expense. lyrics are so that people have different interpretations. me and the critic happened to have the same interpretation, and two different reactions.

but whatever the case, we shouldn't have a problem with other fans, just because we all don't share the same opinion about this song.

Its what im saying. My point on that post was to say how some critics try to belittle Michael... and when a great artist like Sade mentions him, they completely turn everything on their own thoughts and way... its getting too obvious... we all know how critics work... more on Michael... it was nothing against you.

^^^^^They were on Dancing With The Stars tonight. She sang that song and Sweetest Taboo. The taller girl singing background is Sade's daughter Ila Adu.

LOVE that song :wub:

I swear, Ms Adu doesn't age physically or vocally she looks and sounds just like she did in her 20's.

[Love.him]

She's on the cover of Ebony. I haven't read it yet. When I was growing up, I didn't really enjoy her music but I got into it early last decade. Paradise is my fav. Sade song. It always was actually.

How is the true and proper way to pronounce her name? Wanda Sykes says her name is pronounced "Shar-Day". I watch her weekly show and a fan said she says is wrong by adding an r in to the pronunciation. Wanda replied that "Shar-Day" herself puts an r in the pronunciation.

So, does she? I always thought it was "Shaw-Day".

[DuranDuran]

It's "Sha-day" with no 'R'. I remember when she 1st came out and the late singer Robert Palmer didn't know how to pronounce her name and said "Sayd" in an interview for the Power Station, lol.

I have to say that I LOVE Sade's last album. I love the sound, the sweetness, the lyrics, the emotions, it's really a great album for me. It makes me feel so many different emotions, from joy to pain, from being blue, to being in love. Great work. And what a wonderful voice.

Great, great, great work!

I know this was not meant for Michael, nor for Paris, but this lyrics... God... perfect for the love of Michael for her little princess.

He has the troops and extra backup standing by
For you child
For you he's the best he can be
For you child
For you he's the best he can be
Oh child don't you know
Your dady love come with a life time guarantee

Sweet Paris... sending our major love to you.
:hug:

What was your impression of the song?

I don't think Sade would show any disprespect to someone that is a musical icon, who just passed away. That would make no sense considering the attention put on her album. :no:

My take on the song is that the use of Michael's name and the use of the word skin have no relation.
The song talks about ending a relationship, and she speaks of Michael with the words:
"Sure as it's gonna play and play, like Michael back in the day"
Making a reference most likely to the Thriller era, how big he was at that point.
She's using that as a comparison to show how big the amount of pain and heartache she's feeling from realizing the relationship is over, and how these feelings are just being "replayed," so she understands the necessity of mentally ridding herself completely from this man, hence needing to "peel [him] away," and to "wash [him] off [her] skin."

No disrespect I'm getting from that, not really a tribute either, just a comparison. :)

Oh, I thought it was just my (silly) idea. I agree with you. Just a comparison. Great album, friends!! Sade is wonderful, her voice is angelic, out of this world. I just love this album :clapping::clapping:
