    In the 80s boys were into Madonna and men were into Sade.

    Sade isn't slow, she's smooth. She is the essence of smooth, classy beauty. We need more classy singers.

    I'm y'all's age. I was into Sade in the third grade, actually. Sade, Simply Red, Level 42, Swingout Sister, The Blow Monkeys, ABC, Spandau Ballet, Everything But the Girl, George Michael, and all jazzy those other Sophisti-Pop and Post-New Wave crossover artists who did well on US radio at the time.

    Watch Sade singing 'Is it a Crime?' live at the Live Aid concert, Wembley, London. Mesmerizing ❤😊
  • @PerryWalker-nc4ul
    My best advice to everyone is to watch as many live performances she has on the Internet.

    As a teenager in the 80's, I gravitated towards the hard rock/heavy metal, but I would always stop for my girl Sade when she was on. She is amazing and I ain't too proud to admit it.

    Sade is an instant time warp back to the 80s.. use to put her tape into the car stereo on long road trips.. hypnotizing haunting cruising music esp when it's snowing on the desert road.. 🕊NZ

    Actually, 'Your Love is King' is the follow up to 'Smoothe Operator' from her first album,'Diamond Life'. Sweetest Taboo is from her second album, 'Promise'. If you watch the music video for 'Is it A Crime' next, the video follows directly after Sweetest Taboo as it has connected 'characters' in a loose storyline.
