Excuse my brief pause in typing...

Sade...a Nigerian legend.

Everyone knows about Sade. Songs like "No Ordinary Love" or "Stronger than Pride" are what your parents call the good stuff. Its true when you listen to her smooth voice enunciate every word you get a sense of her profound talent and crafty story telling. Born in Ibadan, Nigeria raised in Colchester, Essex, Helen Folasade Adu listened to alot of Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway and Curtis Mayfiled. I really like Sade.


Sade was never overly raunchy or too sexual...but sensual. You knew that when she sang about a song it was love driven with a bit of innuendo but still innocent to kids under the age of ten. Sade is talented and beautiful, she never felt the need to flaunt her body excessively but only when appropriate. Yes of course she has some rather risque photos out there but what gets me is the fact that she always holds her stature so high. Its her poise and lady like etiquette that really gets me the most about her. She isnt loud or in your face but very quiet and chill.I guess for her its about the art of making music not the money or fame. I admire her a lot and honestly would like to be like her .
