Sade: Sade Adu
built 450 days ago
When Sade first came on the recording scene in the '80s, her record company, Epic, made a point of printing "pronounced shar-day" after her name on the record labels of her releases. Soon enough the world would have no problem in correctly pronouncing her name. Born Helen Folasade Adu in Ibadan, Nigeria, about 50 miles from Lagos, she was the daughter of an African father and an English mother. After her mother returned to England, Sade grew up on the North End of London.

*** Ganze 4 Jahre ließ Sade uns auf ein neues Album warten. Dann, 1992 kam endlich "Love Deluxe" in die Plattenläden. Man weiß nicht, ob es an Sades langer Abstinenz lag, jedenfalls wurde das neue Werk im Vergleich zu den ersten Alben laut der immer wieder geliebten Kritiker ein kommerzieller Flop! Das gilt allerdings nicht für die schöne Musik, die sich zweifellos auf der CD befindet. Sade Adu singt in "Feel no pain" mit so viel Hingabe und Gefühl und versetzt den Zuhörer dabei fast in Trance. Das gleiche gilt für "Cherish the day", welches im Muster der Hitsingle "No ordinary love", die später auf dem Soundtrack zu "Ein unmoralisches Angebot" erschien, sehr gleicht.
