The Best of Sade – SadeView More By Sade Our ReviewSade seemed to emerge from some unknown world, a mysterious beauty with a sound that seemed to invent itself. In reality, she was born Helen Folsade Adu in Nigeria and raised in England, a young soul fan who fell into playing music while attending St. Martin’s College for fashion design. Beginning with 1984’s stunning Diamond Life, Sade and her eponymously-named band (Stuart Matthewman, guitar; Paul Spencer Denman, bass; Andrew hale, keyboards) released four albums, all of which spawned multiple hit singles.

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....
