Kelela - Like A Tattoo (Sade cover) - Radio 1's Piano Sessions

[@Porkchopapii]

Her tone is so siren-like and beautiful

[@Brandisandre]

A siren is the perfect way to describe her voice

[@goatherds]

Voice of Ethiopia singing the song of Nigeria’s legend...

[@utadaaah8350]

This is one of Sade most underrated songs imo and Kelela BLEW IT OUT THE WATER! Phenomenal as usual! Take Me Apart girl Take Me Apart!

[@unplayedpiano7039]

The live version of this song by Sade with the extended ending is...there are no words. I wish the album version encapsulated the horn and her singing. Oh. I do love this song.

[@gsotoaz]

YES

[@Tberger9]

For real!

[@tevint4488]

As most of you know, Sade is an untouchable force when it comes to the beauty and meaning in all her music. You cannot replicate her nor compare her to anyone. Whoever covers Sade in any form of sound must have a sense of originality and respect for the true definition of art in Sade's musical platform. You did Sade proud, Kelela❤. Thank you. #bravo 👏

[@rolandferrand6175]

Tevin T wasn't sure where you was going with your comment, but you nailed it.

[@misssm87]

Tevin T very well said and true!

[@Frosteato]

Totally agree! She nailed it completely and yet with a fresh touch, not just "copying" the tune.

[@marewaltwms1]

Tevin T yes

[@onamvalenzo5097]

Right! She did it very well. With a good sense of Sade work

[@jordan.sophia]

I think Sade is an incredibly difficult artist to cover because her unique tone really carries her songs combined with the drama in her vocal but I think this is a wonderful cover!

[@screenname88]

Was about to comment this… I’ve seen other covers and it just doesn’t hit but Kelela crushed this one. Amazing cover. I love the reverb on the vocals.

[@formatcomponent6066]

Her mic technique at the end was just genius. Chills.

[@formatcomponent6066]

At the end where she kinda backs off the mic each time she sings "like a tattoo" and creates that fade effect -- playing with the reverb. So good.

[@onamvalenzo5097]

I hear it too. You are right.

[@xanthirudha]

Sade is proud wherever she at

[@majira-dy5im]

this is probably the best cover I've heard in a long time

[@lozoft9]

I'm crying, this song is so touching and it doesn't help that Kelela has such an amazing unique voice.

[@lozoft9]

Honestly, I'm a Sade fan and I've heard this song before, but I never *listened* to it. I never realized that it was about PTSD until I heard this version. The sparseness of the piano and Kelela's voice brings out the loneliness and struggle of this story in ways that the original doesn't.

[@homogenicanchoress]

exactlyyyy . she did the song such justice. i’ve never felt so moved by a sade cover, she has a very difficult voice to replicate & sade’s songs normally fall flat when others sing them, but kelela rlly outdid herself❤️

[@tiak8884]

Literally my favorite Sade song. Beautiful

[@maingaila]

I always come back to listen to this. She did such an amazing job 🥺

[@Mark.mp3]

me too

[@karlitop7497]

This is my all time favorite song by Shade and Kelela took it to another place

[@xochitllee24]

exactly. I'm elevated right now.

[@kevinlibrado877]

I had the chills for 3 minutes

[@xochitllee24]

velvet buttery vocals blanketing my eardrums.

[@giddygeek1719]

Absolutely hit this out of the park! The pianist did a beautiful job of spinning his smooth interpretation of this rather intricate song. Outstanding performance!

[@vincentatwood234]

The best Sade cover for this selected song.

[@zachdixon4597]

Tears of happiness watching this. So incredibly beautiful

[@MuzikGuru1]

Just bought 'Take Me Apart' TODAY!!! I can't get enough! In fact, I'm on a serious Kelela binge!

[@greeko25]

i love her and love the fact that she has such great taste in music as well

[@clarissamcintyre3334]

Just an extraordinary version. ❤❤

[@vanityebony3666]

Two of my favorite singers Sade and Kelela

[@Tory-nz8bl]

If you close your eyes and listen...you can see the sound waves her voice creates!! Pure angelic ✨

[@jasreallySUCCS]

Lol it's the echo effect they put on the mic

[@Mcdelicious36]

Wonderful voice and choice of song 😎👍💗

[@darmadusa]

She's magnificent.

[@oliviaaus1086]

the echo on the mic is so lovely.... I feel as though I have ascended!

[@lilyzemengist8091]

So I can spot an East African from a mile away and of course I HAD to check out who this check was using the oh so familiar "fidal" on my spotify notification. I'm pleasantly surprised this chick is amazing. I love Sade so I'll be tuning in to this girls new album for sure. I came her to checkin and check out who this woman is and now I know.

[@pilimt1498]

Amazing. Great rendition of this song.

[@reezalrosli3104]

Love this composition. Love how her voice leads the piano no matter if it starts first

[@mackpaxton7409]

She should cover Pearls or No Ordinary Love next

[@xviolaa]

Seeing Kelela sing Pearls would be incredible

[@danisecardoso6407]

Pearls would be amazing, chills

[@dula.peep.]

kelela & sade are so underrated

[@AquaAguaWaterEau-DML]

Lisa Turtle KELELA, ok. SADE...😐🤔🙃 ??? Elle chante depuis 1984 !

[@makemsaydee25]

Are you 12?

[@Scope218]

Sade underrated? By whom?? 😂😂😂

[@XOBloody]

Underrated you tripping love.

[@VnnDgd]

Sade is larger than life, and everybody knows that for over 30 years.

[@christopherdolce4636]

beautiful vocals , big props to my man on the piano. Just beautiful.

[@ziyedhamrouni886]

They cleaned my ears and washed my soul

[@umanaal]

I got CHILLS! This is one of my favorite sade songs and kalela slays it

[@judycotten6416]

Love her voice

[@potatopotatoeOG]

It’s outstanding

[@ohdangmybad]

perfect texture

[@robbieweiler8530]

Maybe the best Sade cover anyone has ever tried.

[@okanomode]

Absolutely Exquisite. And what a treat to hear Kelela slaying one of my favorite Sade songs. Not just anybody can touch Sade’s music. Big up. 🙏🏾✨💛

[@kawaiikaikun]

That pianist tho...

[@IMETGODSHEBLACK]

One of the most Iconic of our generation!!

[@RFlex-vw9fc]

The growth of your low notes, sis, is spinning me

[@rickypilcher3618]

Sade Adu is my favorite songer/songwriter. You did an amazing job! I love it!! 💚

[@maarifawalcott5145]

I liked this song from the first moment that I heard it, but my appreciation has only deepened having learned that the song is about a soldier’s life long struggle with the horrors of war during younger years. A Sade classic.

[@kamikaliente]

This is beautiful!💗

[@jzcruzer94]

Stunning cover!!

[@miamijones425]

Literally in love.💕😭

[@samuelbarron825]

Radiant! This was much needed 💘 thank you, Kelela

[@bobinchainz]

This was unreal . Beautiful

[@trishjane9016]

Sheesh that was amazing

[@ilikepizza6597]

Such a beautiful performance.... I am completely encapsulated in Kelela's universe.

[@Niconez]

Simply incredible cover. Bravo!

[@OrchidTingz]

💙🩵💎🥶👏🏾💣 Stunning for the hundredth time she killed this I think Sade would love this if she hasn't seen it already! ❤

[@abongilemakwenkwe9207]

[@quintonwilliams718]

Awesome job, Sade would be pleased.👍👍👍👍

[@marcoaz4884]

He told me sweet lies of sweet loves Heavy with the burden of the truth And he spoke of his dreams Broken by the burden Broken by the burden of his youth Fourteen years he said I couldn't look into the sun She saw him laying at the end of my gun Hungry for life And thirsty for the distant river I remember his hands And the way the mountains looked The light shot diamonds from his eyes Hungry for life And thirsty for the distant river Like the scar of age Written all over my face The war is still raging inside of me I still feel the chill As I reveal my shame to you I wear it like a tattoo I wear it like a tattoo I wear it like a tattoo

[@lookintok]

If this woman only knew that I love her with my soul😻

[@bunnyslug]

shes so talented and amazing

[@carlosjrxx]

[@TheBoogieblack]

Damn she nailed that!!!

[@daniellealmeida5558]

Gente!! Que voz deliciosa..amei..❤😊

[@GABRIELGON1]

ouve as músicas dela por favor, ela é perfeita e merece mais reconhecimento. O clipe de “Enough for love” foi gravado no Brasil, é um bom start pra conhecer o trabalho dela

[@TheWinterShadow]

I was looking for Sade and this song and after letting several tracks play yours came up. You are not my Sade and this song sounds better with acoustic guitar and that can't be replace.....but I still like this cover. Peace to you and keep moving forward.

[@kelechic.jemelumba9981]

Beautiful voice and person

[@mauramagarinhos6160]

Had the chance to see her in my city ( Lisbon) it was "too good to be true"!!!

[@lenappygarcon6692]

SHOOK! I hate covers, especially bad ones, but this was ALMOST better than the original ✨💫

[@marianamawaofficial]

Gorgeous

[@Clockworkcityofpain]

I love it❤

[@JohyeahM]

Perfect.

[@LAJP97]

Would be nice to get a CDQ version of this cover, I keep on coming back to this video

[@jupiterjune4549]

Honestly need the "I wear it like tattoo" on loop

[@johnuruski651]

So beautiful, your voice is beautiful….

[@GABRIELGON1]

1:40 so good

[@briancrowley6413]

I think Sade would be ok with this lady's version

[@adrianaabrahampasquotto5817]

Não há duas pessoas em que penso desde que a ouvi pela primeira vez. Parece um sonho imaginá-lo ao piano...como se eu tivesse ali presente sem que ele me visse. Poder perceber a delicadeza do seu toque sobre as teclas e imaginar que é sobre a minha pele... (((

[@niellalien]

Omg, Kelela covering Sade??? 😍

[@briancrowley6413]

this is the best song of Love Delux.... and this lady does a real version of the song. Sade should put out a cd of her under rated songs, filler and b-sides. I would buy it
