You do know that Sade have been around for over 25 years? They aren't some new band that's just come along. Soldier Of Love is their first studio album in 10 years, it's nice to see it doing so well around the world

Band??? Sade is a female singer!!!
The band is named after Sade herself, which can be misleading. |

Actually Helen Adu is the name of the singer, the band name is taken from her middle name Folasade, and the band without the lead singer is called Sweetback, and they have back the likes of Maxwell. sweetback too the name from the melvin & mario van peebles movie sweet sweetbacks badass song which had the soundtrack by earth wind and fire
and whilst she was born in nigeria, she moved to london when she was 4 years old |

So Sade are number 1 around the world on itunes, let's see what the eventual outcome on the actual chart is then.

In the midweeks the album was number 1. Massive Attacks was at the start of the week, but Sade took over.

Got the album and find it totally addictive but it's not all as hard hitting as the title track (which is amazing btw). There are a lot of quieter songs. I remember Diamond Life with fondness and then sort of drifted away. So glad she/they are back; we needed Sade so much at the moment.

I'm old so remember when the first album Diamond Life came out. That's still the best Sade album imo.

lol Sade is pronounced 'sharday' anyway, totally different
![]() ![]() In all seriousness though, I never realised that there was even a band "Sade" distinct from the singer "Sade" (who I always assumed was a solo artist). It's a pretty understandable mistake though; I never understood why a band that wanted an identity in its own right would choose the same name as one of their members. It's different with (e.g.) Alice Cooper, which was the name of the band before the lead singer went solo, or Blondie, which was never the name of the lead singer even if the mistake was understandable. But to intentionally confuse things like that is IMHO just silly. Then again, there are "bands" like Jamiroquai that may as well be solo artists. Has anyone *ever* knowingly seen any of the other "members"? (Looking it up on Wikipedia, it appears that the other three original members have all now left). BTW, if Sade got a big tent, would it be the Marquee de Sade?

That sounds similar to me. Unless I'm mistaken in my assumption that the glam rock band's name is pronounced "Sla-Day"

It's quite touching especially where Sade says she never wanted to be a singer but became a singer! How you just become a singer (worth a reported £40M) is a mystery to me but it is probably quite possible! |
