At once you are caught in her sonorous voice, her graceful figure [nearly a svelte] and unique music. I first knew Sade when I watched one of her stage performances on local TV. I was told that the madam performing on stage is Nigerian, and I was like ‘WOW’, We dey represent. I can recall she was on her usual outfit that makes her look like a water goddess [mind you, not mami-water].
I do not know if I am more enthralled in her music or her beauty. Which one? This is to show that she is a complete package. Shade has excelled musically, give it up for her. She is a testimony of Nigeria’s abundant talent [forget oil, we are richer in human resources]
Shade recorded world class hits like Smooth operator, The sweetest taboo, No ordinary love, By your side etc. she is the female version of Michael Jackson [No kidding about this]. At once her music pierces deep into your spirit, dropping something in there. Of this am sure. After listening to her music for the first time, I got so interested in her.
Sade was born in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Her middle name, Folasade, means honor confers your crown. Her parents, Bisi Adu, a Nigerian lecturer in economics of Yoruba background, and Anne Hayes, an English district nurse, who had met in London, married in 1955 and moved to Nigeria.Later, when the marriage ran into difficulties, Anne Hayes returned to England, taking four-month-old Sade and her older brother Banji to live with her parents. When Sade was 11, she moved to near Clacton-on-Sea with her mother, and after completing school, she moved to London and studied at the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.
While at college, she joined a soul band, Pride, in which she sang backing vocals.Her solo performances of the song Smooth Operator attracted the attention of record companies and in 1983, she signed a solo deal with Epic Records taking three members of the band, Stuart Matthewman, Andrew Hale and Paul Denman, with her. Sade and her band produced the first of a string of hit albums, the debut album Diamond Life, in 1984, and have subsequently sold over 50 million albums. She is the most successful solo female artist in British history. JESUS!
Sade truly represents. Thumbs up for you ma’am
