Sade needs to be on HN more often.

A friend introduced me to Sade this year and I love her down tempo soulful sound. The music has a sort of background sadness which I wouldn't have understood when I was younger.

DJ Spinna's best of sade mix is good: https://www.mixcloud.com/Double0Soul/dj-spinna-best-of-sade-mix/ https://www.mixcloud.com/Double0Soul/dj-spinna-best-of-sade-... Fave sade jams are "love is stronger than pride" (especially the mad professor lover's rock remix), "I couldn't love you more", "cherish the day" I remember laughing at my friend's mom for playing "Smooth operator" in the car when i was 10, now i love that jam hehe

Paradise and Cherish the Day are my favorites. Long live Sade!

  Cherish The Day is my favorite unintentional 9/11 tribute. https://twitter.com/kchoudhu/status/913295169868328960 https://twitter.com/kchoudhu/status/913295169868328960 (Not that it was ever intended as such... circumstances have kind of retconned it into the role)

I like her but would agree with the “waiting room vibe” comment. Easy listening sounds like the right classification to me.

I was walking down the Danbury Square Mall in 1985. Now I pride myself on not looking at women just because they look nice because I didn't want to grow up looking like a dirty old man or make women feel creeped out. BUT THIS ONE TIME, I was walking at the mall with my friends and this woman was walking towards us with some geeky curly hair guy and I stopped. She walked by and I said "Who is that?" I knew she had to be famous and my friends said it was Kenny G's girlfriend but they didn't know her name. Well she was Healen Abu the lead singer for the band Sade. Kenny G and her dated for a time and he wrote a song called Sade for her. Now I have seen her 2 times in concert and none of them were larger than a 1000 people due to Sade's request for small venues. Wish I actually bought a t-shirt at the shows. She is just an amazing singer and her band is one of the greatest of all time in terms of just talent. I am and will always be a Punk Rock Kid but I have always admired her music and still to this day my friends and wife joke about Sade with me. Best album was Love Deluxe.

Truly one of the greatest underappreciated artists.
