Is nudity automatically unclassy? Sade wears makeup and form fitting outfits that are sometimes quite revealing. The class is in how she carries herself.
Classic soft feminine voice, with complimentary lyrics and instrument arrangements. Kinda reminds me of how the Beatles intentionally constructed their songs to highlight their individual strengths into a cohesive unit.✌️
Wikipedia-Smooth Operator" is about a fashionable con-man who moves within high social circles. He is popular with women and breaks many hearts. The lyrics "Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male / Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale" imply that he also uses women to obtain his income. It is also clear that he does not hold sincere affection for these women, as Adu sings near the end, "his heart is cold".
Sade’s live performances are amazing. Her band is top tier and engages is some phenomenal instrumental jam sessions. Sade always commands the stage and keeps the vibe in its tracks.
But more remarkable is the fact that Sade is in fact a band. Record company wanted to sign just her but she insisted that it only would happen if they were signed as a band, and so it happened. Band has been together ever since and lineup has been unchanged ever since.
In concerts Sade always performed barefoot, she's totally awesome and amazing!! She's British, now lives away from the limelight and has lived in Jamaica for a number of years now. She was born in Nigeria to an English mother & Nigerian father (parents had met in England), they moved (back) to England when Sade was about 4 or 5 yrs old.
“ Is It A Crime?” video and song is fantastic by Sade. Everything she does with that killer band of hers is amazing. ❤ The man in this is a gigolo. Sade is Nigerian/British.
She’s got a bunch of hits including Jezabel, Your love is king, No ordinary love ( my personal favorite),The sweetest taboo, Kiss of life, among many others
What a lot of people don’t realize is that although Sade Adu is the lead vocalist, Sade is in fact a band of which she is a member together with their guitar / sax player, keyboard player and bass player. They were already a band before she joined them, record company only wanted to sign her but she insisted it only to would happen if they were signed as a band (they write songs together so that made sense). And to this day the line up is unchanged. Now that is staying true to yourself and being loyal to each other.
Close but not exactly. Sade Adu, Stewart Matthewman (guitar/sax) and Paul Denman (Bass) were ALL members of the band Pride. The band Sade debuted in 1982 and Andrew Hale (keyboards) joined in 1983. Sade Adu is the lead vocalist AND lead songwriter as she typically comes up with the melodies and lyrics. When the band writes and performs without her, they are called Sweetback.
I don’t know that there has ever been a more sensual artist than Sade. The vibes are you’re on a beach. I still listen to her today and will play it when I have a ”friend” over that I believe could also feel the vibe. If she doesn’t feel it? She gone 🤷🏻♂️
I remember reading an article a few years ago - I think it was in Rolling Stone that told the story of how when she released the album, ‘Lover’s Rock’, in 2000, it had been 8 years since her last album. It immediately hit the top of the sales charts just on name recognition alone, not on radio play of any of its singles. It noted how incredibly unusual it was for any artist to disappear from the scene for years and then release a new album and have it fly off the racks just based on the reputation of the artist. As many have noted….a lot of children have been conceived to the sound of Sade’s music.
Sounds wild but too believable for her. I'm gonna grab lucky 7 off a playlist to hit the right spot, cuz I know they just will. . . is it a crime, the sweetest taboo cherish the day, no ordinary love hang on to your love, paradise love is stronger than pride Are these from the same album?? They all work for me but I don't know if these are some of her older stuff.
I love Sade! My husband and I will be married 18 years in October. Our “first dance” at our wedding was Sade’s “Cherish the Day” and we had that phrase engraved inside of our wedding bands with our anniversary date. She is so great. I just love her music so much!
Sade sings "sharp" which is what makes her so unique. Similar to Astrid Gilberto she has this beautiful exotic jazz vibe that will be listened too for 100 years.
1984 i was 8yrs old, even back then i was amazed by Sades' voice, its silky smooth, caresses the ear cannal and gently plays on the ear drum, beautiful woman, beautiful voice.
1987, 12 years old, trip to Sydney from New Zealand and I bought my first small “boom box” tape deck with my very own money…. And this was the second song I taped off the radio (the first was Pet Shop Boys It’s a Sin), these songs remind me of that time from the first note to the end 🫶 It wasn’t a particularly happy time of my life, but I love these songs)
Pink Panther, I just turned 62 man your making me feel old lol. Listened to to this North Brisbane Australia, Redcliffe great times. I just moved to the Philippines from Australia about weeks ago, support from both mate.
Sade is one of the absolute best artists of all time. Hated her music when I was a kid, but holy moly, every album is incredible. Diamond Life is the name of this album (her first). Still, I was always a clumsy operator. LOL. I am begging you to do something that isn't super popular but that I think you would love, and that I want others to experience before he is forgotten. Terence Trent D'Arby Holding Onto You Live in London. Everyone will want you to watch some of his hits which are fine, but are watered down and subdued. This performance is one of the best you will ever see. I am putting a link in a reply to this comment (because I never know how links work on YT)
So many great songs from Sade. Your love is king, is it a crime, soldier of love, cherish the day, hang on to your love, never as good as the first time, the sweetest taboo, no ordinary love, kiss of life and more
I'm also 44 years old, and Sade has a HUGE music library. I've been listening to her my entire life. Check out No Ordinary Love, Kiss Of Life, Paradise, Cherish the Day, Sweetest Taboo, Lover's Rock...she's untouchable.
Sade is a British band and lead singer Sade Adu is a British artist! This was Sade’s first big hit in states! Sade has so many hits, like, Sweetest Taboo, Kiss of Life, No Ordinary Love, Cherish The Day, Is it A Crime, and more! Check them out! She is legendary and her music is truly timeless with that beautiful voice and soulful jazzy sound!❤❤
I can listen to all her songs all day long. Cherry Pie is my most favorite song of hers. Back in the day she was considered top ten most beautiful women of the world. Voice as smooth as silk. Love her🙏🏼🌹💕
Sade has a bunch of hits worth checking out. Your Love Is King and Sweetest Taboo are the couple of really big ones that come to mind. You should check one or two of in concert videos. Look for The Sweetest Taboo - Live video from San Diego. rrrowrrr. ;)
As a kid growing up in the 80's we had lots of women in music that got the juices flowing.. Sade (smooth operator and sweetest taboo videos) was definitely one of them! Lita Ford kiss me deadly video was another off the top of my head. Will have to rewatch them now just in case you don't review them!
I saw her in concert in the early 90's. So awesome and mesmerizing. You should watch Live Aid Is it a Crime. ❤❤❤so good! Also her best hits album is in my rotation!! I'd never thought I'd see the day!❤❤ the list goes on and on.
Sade ❤.. A must see LIVE! Her band is spectacular! They have amazing chemistry and Sade.. Her voice and moves and erotic beauty! Must check out LIVE, No Ordinary Love Kiss of Life Nothing Can Come Between Us Love Is Stronger Than Pride Sweetest Taboo
I remember back in the day my uncle had me babysit my little cousins so my aunt and him could go see Sade in concert. I remember them coming home after the concert on cloud nine, blown away how amazing it was, my uncle couldn't stop talking about the huge rhythm section they had.
BP, Its late on Friday and I've shut down my work and treating myself to your video reactions of the past few days. I am having a ball. Just want to say thank you for what you do for us. This is my Friday evening "treat." And, Love this song....so seductive
I love Sade's voice and she is so beautiful. One of my favourites is No Ordinary Love (Arnold T Chill Mix) feat Sherrie Lea. Such an atmospheric chill vibe.
Crush time. First time I heard here voice was on my stereo (didn't have cable at the time). When I saw video at friends house was second time. This reaction makes it three. Love here voice, so smooth
Her voice is like warm caramel in my ear. Nothing but class and talent.
Perfect description!
Oh boy, check out "The Sweetest Taboo". The quintessence of female elegance, beauty and charm. As a woman myself she inspired me.
She is so classy! No nudity just class! Love the reaction ❤
Is nudity automatically unclassy? Sade wears makeup and form fitting outfits that are sometimes quite revealing. The class is in how she carries herself.
@@deshaunx776 well if you compare her style to Nicki Minaj
I'm an old metal head. But I do have Sade's greatest hits. It's excellent to just chill with.
same here bro !!! lol
Classic soft feminine voice, with complimentary lyrics and instrument arrangements. Kinda reminds me of how the Beatles intentionally constructed their songs to highlight their individual strengths into a cohesive unit.✌️

So, basically, a high end pimp
No he's just a Gigolo. He is the one going Coast-to-Coast with his love for sale he's a smooth operator
@@lunadyana3330 Gigolo...?
@@lunadyana3330hes selling himself, not other people. So hes not a pimp.
Another take for your consideration. Understands the game,plays without guilt or remorse.
Sade - Sweetest Taboo. This one gets me all the time. You Gatta, gatta, gatta do Sweetest Taboo...
******* British~Nigerian BEAUTY! Nobody Sounded like Sade BEFORE or SINCE!
This song never aged through the decades, no joke. She was unique and so was the song.
No Ordinary Love is another big one.
YES!!!
Gorgeous
Indecent proposal soundtrack I believe ❤
@@mattyball yes
You can't go wrong with Sade, she was massive.'No Ordinary Love's, Your Love Is King', so many to name but two.
Your Love is King is probably my favourite of theirs
other songs: Sweetest Taboo, You're Love is King, No Ordinary Love (cover)
^ yes
This is the correct list 💯
Sade’s live performances are amazing. Her band is top tier and engages is some phenomenal instrumental jam sessions. Sade always commands the stage and keeps the vibe in its tracks.
legendary vocalist and performer ! no bad songs ... this lady is angelic !!! Fan since the 80's !
But more remarkable is the fact that Sade is in fact a band. Record company wanted to sign just her but she insisted that it only would happen if they were signed as a band, and so it happened. Band has been together ever since and lineup has been unchanged ever since.
Still have the cassette 😎

She now lives the quiet rural life in Gloucestershire, UK

ah, no! and people don't 'realize this' bc what you said isn't even factual. Everyone knows who Sade is, bwhahahha
@@christopherone1 you are exactly proving my point. Please read up on the history of Sade ... go check out their wikipedia page and you will see.
I don’t know that there has ever been a more sensual artist than Sade. The vibes are you’re on a beach.
I still listen to her today and will play it when I have a ”friend” over that I believe could also feel the vibe.
If she doesn’t feel it? She gone 🤷🏻♂️
Not only was she a singer, she was also one of the top runway models and fashion designers in the 80's. A voice like liquid velvet.
Sade definitely one of my faves. You'll want to check out her other huge hit The Sweetest Taboo
