Collection of SadeWhen singer Sade and her band of the same name were establishing themselves, their record company, Epic, made a point of printing 'Pronounced Shar-day' on the record labels of their releases. Soon enough, the music had no problem with the correct pronunciation. With the breakthrough Billboard Hot 100 Top Ten single 'Smooth Operator' propelling the debut Sade album, Diamond Life, to the same spot on the Billboard 200 chart in 1985, the band fast came to epitomize soulful, adult-oriented, sophisti-pop.

Though only five more studio albums would follow during the next 25 years, the band's following abated only slightly, and each release was treated like a long-awaited public return of a mysterious yet beloved diva.Born Helen Folasade Adu in Ibadan, Nigeria, about 50 miles from Lagos, Sade was the daughter of an African father and an English mother. After her mother returned to England, Adu grew up on the North End of London.
Developing a good singing voice in her teens, Adu worked part-time jobs in and outside of the music business. She listened to Ray Charles, Nina Simone, Al Green, Aretha Franklin, and Billie Holiday, and studied fashion design at St. Martin's School of Art in London while also doing some modeling on the side.Around 1980, she started singing harmony with a Latin funk group called Arriva. One of the more popular numbers that the group performed was an Adu original co-written with bandmember Ray St. John, 'Smooth Operator.' The following year, she joined the eight-piece funk band Pride as a background singer.

Pride and their off-shoots performed often around London and stirred up record company interest. Initially, the labels wanted to sign only Sade - technically a trio featuring Adu, Stuart Matthewman, and Paul Denman - while the whole of Pride wanted a deal.
The members of Pride not involved in the Sade trio eventually told Adu, Matthewman, and Denman to go ahead and sign a deal. Adding keyboardist Andrew Hale, Sade signed to the U.K.
Division of Epic Records.The band's debut album, Diamond Life (with overall production by Robin Millar), went Top Ten in the U.K. In late 1984. January 1985 saw the album released on CBS' Portrait label, and by spring, it had gone platinum on the strength of the Top Ten singles 'Smooth Operator' and 'Hang on to Your Love.' The second album, Promise (1985), featured 'Never as Good as the First Time' and 'The Sweetest Taboo,' the latter of which stayed on the U.S. Hot 100 for six months.
Sade was so popular that some radio stations reinstated the '70s practice of playing album tracks, adding 'Is It a Crime' and 'Tar Baby' to their playlists. In 1986, Sade won a Grammy for Best New Artist.Sade's third album was 1988's Stronger Than Pride, and featured their first number one single on the U.S. R&B chart, 'Paradise,' as well as 'Nothing Can Come Between Us' and 'Keep Looking.' The fourth Sade album didn't appear for four years: 1992's Love Deluxe continued the unbroken streak of multi-platinum Sade albums, spinning off the hits 'No Ordinary Love,' 'Feel No Pain,' and 'Pearls.' Matthewman, Denman, and Hale went on to other projects, including the low-key Sweetback, which released a self-titled album in 1996. Matthewman also played a major role in the development of Maxwell's career, providing instrumentation and production work for the R&B singer's first two albums.
Sade eventually reconvened to issue Lovers Rock in 2000. The lead single 'By Your Side' was a moderate hit, peaking at number 18 on the adult contemporary chart; the following summer, Sade embarked on their first tour in more than a decade and sold out many dates across America. In early 2002, they celebrated the tour's success by releasing a live album and DVD, Lovers Live. The mostly somber Soldier of Love was released in 2010.

Producer: Sade Adu, Stuart MatthewmanAlbum: Love DeluxeLabel: EpicThroughout the 1980s, Sade was such a singular R&B sensation, her voice is so otherworldly, a mother from another planet; which is to say, Britain. She's the furthest thing from pop crossover R&B yet still has a string of hits that would make placement on the official soundtrack for Earth, if not this entire galaxy. “Smooth Operator” was Sade's 80s breakout in the U.S., and “No Ordinary Love” is her commendable 90s twilight, with Sade singing live and direct from the matrix. In the music video, she's a mermaid making slo-mo sex faces at a white boy.
Where are the R&B mermaids (and mermen) of yesteryear? —Justin Charity.

Sade is the world-known British R&B group that formed in England in 1983. Its history began in 1976 in London, when the popular funk and Latin soul band Pride needed a new female back-vocalist. This position was given to Helen Folasade Adu, born in Nigeria, whose father was Nigerian and mother was British. Being a back-vocalist, the girl soon developed her own style, and at the suggestion of the manager she and some other band members wrote a set of songs to perform at Pride’s concerts between the sets. Then together with the saxophonist Stuart Mathewman several tracks were written for their side project bearing the name of its front woman and vocalist – Sade. In 1982 the musicians were allowed to support Pride at the concert, and in May 1983 they did their own performance in the USA. The newly-made band attracted more and more attention of the press, leaving Pride in the shadows, what eventually led to final partitioning of the two teams.In 1984 Sade released their first single Your Love Is King, followed by the debut album called Diamond Life in a couple of months, which climbed to #2 position in charts and later attained multi-platinum status.

The great popularity was brought by the single Smooth Operator, nominated for MTV Video Music Awards in two categories – Best Female Video and Best New Artist. Most of the year 1985 Sade toured with concerts, simultaneously working on the new material called Promise, which saw light in the year’s end.
Just like on the debut album, the music represented gentle, restrained and profound soul and jazz riffs. The disc soon ascended the UK charts’ top and became double-platinum, and the vocalist Sade Adu was awarded Grammy for Best New Artist. During eight months the band gave performances across USA and the UK, and as the tour wound down, Sade found herself in the centre of a whirl of rumours, saying that she was depressed because of her failed love affair, that she got addicted to drugs, and that she had a serious nervous break-down.Exhausted from concerts and unwanted attention, Sade decided to withdraw from the limelight and returned to the stage only in 1988 with her new work called Stronger Than Pride. Expectations of fans and critics were not disappointed and the disc turned out to be a hit, receiving platinum status after a mere two weeks after the release.
After a long world tour in support of the album, Sade moved to Spain, where she suffered through a short unsuccessful marriage to documentary filmmaker Carlos Scola. She moved back to London, bought and old house and equipped her own recording studio in the basement. Reassembling the band, Sade started to work on the new material called Love Deluxe, which saw the light in 1992. Despite the long absence, the fans did not forget her and the album sold out very well. Single No Ordinary Love earned the Grammy for Best R&B Duo or Group and was included in the Indecent Proposal OST.In 1996 Sade bore recording producer Bob Morgan a daughter and moved to Jamaica to concentrate on parenthood. Her new creation, called Lovers Rock, was released in 2000.

Despite the top single By Your Side and Grammy award for Best Pop-Vocal Album, the disc could not gain great success – #18 in the UK, #3 in America and golden status. After spending the whole following year in the US tour, the artist proved once more that she needed no fame and attention, again leaving the world of music. Thirst for creativity returned her to stage only in 2010 with her sixth album Soldier Of Love. A ten-year break could have become a commercial suicide for any musician, but not for Sade, whose fans are notable for patience and loyalty and know that music should be created only in case the musicians have something to say.
The title single, released in late 2009, made history by entering the Urban Hot AC chart at #11, making it the highest debut of the decade. All album’s tracks sound very harmoniously, demonstrating the close spiritual connection between the band members once again, and the voice of Sade did not change at all in 25 years of work – graceful, tender and pacifying singing delights the year as before.
