Do Y'all Really Like Sade Though? Fake Sophisticated Music...

[Rick Fox at UNC]

Does anyone really like Sade? Or do you just like her and the group because you are supposed to like her if you're grown and black (for whatever reason).

I get it. Sade Adu is well put together, light-skinned/mixed, and exotic. She's "mysterious" and the group she heads supposedly makes "sophisticated" music for "grown folks."

But seriously. All of that shyt sounds the same and all of it sounds like watered down smooth jazz (because that's what it is). If I've listened to one Sade song, I've listened to them all and none of it moves the needle.

On top of that, I don't understand the black solidarity. She's British/Nigerian and her band consists of white boys playing, again, Kenny G smooth jazz.

This stuff is fake sophisticated music for people who think sophistication is hanging out in wine bars and listening to smooth jazz.

No substance.

Why do you like this stuff?

Sade's music is a part of 80's nostalgia. If you weren't there you can't relate.

i dont like her

i love her

 

[BlackDiBiase]

I can't believe this!

Next you'll be saying 'Slip N Slide Records' don't hold the greatest catalogue in hiphop!!

But to answer your question seriously. It's her voice and song writing that are unrivaled. She has the exact voice to swarm you with atmosphere her words conjure up. It's mostly love songs and heartbreak songs a lot of 'longing' content both Men and Women could appreciate. A very nice band to back up those gentle words and her voice once again is special. All her songs are like a warm blanket on a rainy day. One of the OG female singer song writers,

throw on sade’s greatest hits and it will feel like you listened to a single hour long track cause most of the songs sound the same and she keeps singing those same two notes…this isn’t necessarily a terrible thing

[2ATMsYouSteppinOrWhat]

if you can really listen to I Never Thought I’d See the Day and think that people are forced to like that song

then stop listening to music

Of course we love Sade. There’s a reason it was one of the most celebrated bands in the world. Most of us grew up with Sade playing on the radio.


The band’s distinct sound makes it sound the same? fukk you want it to sound like, a mixtape?!

It’s not us, op, it’s you.

So is Wham!

Wham! U2, Cyndi Lauper, Culture Club, Lionel Richie, Billy Ocean, Phil Collins, Sade. All 80's nostalgic greatness. Again, if you weren't there you can't relate.
