I live that she can sing in an angelic breathy way but her speaking voice is so deep and husky and sensual

[@indieartistschool]

Yes, her timbre is out of this world! 🥰

[@patriciau6277]

The combination of her perfect jazz voice and her band was magic. Real music!

[@giadatommasi7184]

It's like she's making love with music...it's magical

[@indieartistschool]

Absolutely 💯

She created a “ cave in her mouth” what a colorful and accurate description of her placement ! Love this channel ❤

The live version from the san diego show in 1993 is the best recording of is it a crime! And no one in the world can argue with me, Sade is one of those singers were the studio version actually does NOT do her vocals justice! but the band she had in san Diego had such amazing chemistry with her, watching her in that video you can see she’s so effortlessly talented with her voice. she plays around with how high and low she goes in SUCH a controlled way. There will never be a singer that can compare to how talented beautiful and charismatic she is ❤

“Show them you can do it,” Everybody knows she can do it!

Thank you for your unique appreciatve narrative re Sade. 😊😎

Great British female artist. Around the time she was breaking through their were a few female jazz singers in London with that similar breathy vocal technique but she is the only one I know of who got signed. I saw her live in Bristol and I think at Ronnie Scott’s early 80’s, the latter, before she was actually signed. I played trumpet with an acid jazz band in the mid 90’s and our drummers kit originally belonged to her drummer and co lyric writer Paul Cooke, a top end Pearl kit with leopard skin print on the kick drum. Ha ha Awesome sounding kit though. The other musicians (Sade) were in a pretty good northern mod band called the Odds before Sade. Beth gibbons of Portishead could do a pretty good breathy jazz vocalisation, another great Brit singer who was on the circuit in the 1980’s/90’s. Both very unique vocalists. Good times. Fond memories.

That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing

[@rilson08]

Wow ! This song is amazing, number one of my favourite singer.

[@indieartistschool]

She's fantastic!

[@josephsuarez5064]

I love sade too!

[@indieartistschool]

She's amazing!

[@ratatouillefightclub]

Just discovered your channel… thank you for this analysis, this is the first time I hear this song, and I was already on the verge of tears and your celebration and narration over what’s going on musically made me tear up a little😅

[@indieartistschool]

Wow, so glad I could be the one to introduce you to this legendary song. Sade has a way of getting us in our feelings

[@stevedoumas7701]

Great reaction and technical review. Just watched a more recent video and noticed at this age she doesn’t sing every lyric now. To conserve air I think. Still absolutely beautiful!

[@indieartistschool]

Steve Doumas thank you. Yes, that makes a lot of sense. Her style of singing requires a lot of breath control.

[@tizzubestar]

Thanks for this analysis.

[@garythenewman4438]

If you liked this version listen to her live performance of this song in San Diego, it's soul stealing

[@indieartistschool]

Great performer!

[@vorallem5040]

Love your Video. Her San Diego Cocert was outer Space .She was Never better!

[@scoatbeats2379]

ayo you sound like her😳

[@rachelesantoni444]

thank you!

[@Demitrival]

Do you have a shared playlist?

[@astrobot702]

It does help that Sade is British with that intonation. Is it a crime was never one of my favorites. It's good just not at my tempo. I do however like: Paradise Hang on to your love Never as good as the first time Cherry Pie Sweetest Taboo Your love is king Feel No Pain (Nellee Hooper mix) Feel No Pain Babyfather Cherish The Day Kiss of Life Smooth Operator etc.

[@indieartistschool]

Such a great observation!

[@StuStevens-rn7rb]

Host, check out Arpi Alto on YT vids singing covers of Sade. Your thoughts are appreciated. 😊😎

[@cymonescurio]

This particular performance of this song is probably the worse imo and it’s so rushed compared to the version where she’s in the white two-piece (can’t remember year) She kills the “my love is wider...” section, where it looks like she hasn’t fully realized the power in that section yet here.

[@indieartistschool]

Interesting observation!

[@jovany69]

This is like the worst version of the song because they are godlike in all the other ones

[@indieartistschool]

which version is your favorite?
