Sade 1985 interview OGWT with a jolly good song

[@jamesgrotto2219]

A poet said about Sade. "I have seen the oceans rush to the shores to view her beauty, yet hesitant to leave." The poet! ME ;-)

Sade is a Goddess 👑👑👑. A classic, timeless talent and beauty. The Queen of Cool 👑

[@SuperRobertoClemente]

She is the original vibe-- an ocean breeze personified. Total control of her sound and her look. Just a massive artist who has inflected so much of today's music.

[@pileus_storm]

I like how she interjected her own interest of what chart mattered to her. He mentioned disco and dance. She said "Yeah, R&B".. 🥰

[@ajs41]

Probably because disco was regarded as a bit old-fashioned by 1985 and they wouldn't have wanted to be associated with it, even by accident.

[@c5quared626]

@@ajs41 i see what you mean. the guy didn't really get it i think. she was seen as maybe more pop back then, not like a historic icon of today.

[@sicks6six]

she donated the procedes of "when am i going to make a living" to striking miners in the UK 1985, it was her second single from the debut album diamond life so she wasn't a super-wealthy person at that time. so i bouhght her album when i got back to work. .and still listen to it.

[@brentwalker3300]

Yeah, it doesn't surprise me. She came from humble beginnings and never really seems to have forgotten what's important. She's always been grace and class.

[@hectorbartlett567]

Timeless in every which way ... Music and voice. Beauty and style. Memories and enchantment ... Viva, Sade!

she is beautiful.

[@walcoman]

Very rare to find such an ultra sexy, beautiful female that is both, on the inside and out! She could easily be a top runway model as well! 😍😭

[@ajs41]

She started out as a model in the late 70s / early 80s. But she didn't like it much.

[@walcoman]

@@ajs41 thank God, she's entirely above and beyond being just a human mannequin to put somebody's dresses on.

I love Sade from Santiago Chile

[@chloexhallefan8054]

Thank you for this, please don’t delete it! I love her.😍😍✨

[@BulletProofSoul11]

She did say us Americans pronounce her name incorrectly - it is not Sharday as on a vinyl record it was on the label. It is Sade pronounced Sha-day, drop the “R” sound. Enough on that. I read so many comment’s all are so proud of her. Thank you Sade, you have given and poured your soul to us through your music/lyrics. Through all my trials it’s your music that gets me through. Many other artists don’t come close to your kind, down to earth personality except Tina Turner. Sade, you are amazing along with the Band members that are all so fantastic, smart, creative and great looking! The song is fire to my body, every word is what I feel ~

[@anwion]

[@BlondeMafia89]

Her name is pronounced SHA-Day...there is no "r" in the spelling or pronunciation. So if your name is Shardae, it's not right, if you were supposed to be named after SADE!

Man she looks so dope 🔥

[@ajs41]

The interviewer is the very famous Richard Skinner, Radio One DJ and Top of the Pops presenter in the 1980s. I'm guessing this interview is from early February 1985.

[@johngranato2673]

Classy, young lady!

[@dominique9217]

GORGEOUS 😍

[@FireMadeFleshII]

I see interviews like this & it almost hurts knowing that Sade's success was primarily a recipe of timing. I mean this respectfully as I LOVE Sade, the artist/the band, but I couldn't really picture them breaking the way they did outside of the 80s. The advent of Quiet Storm/Adult Contemporary/Easy Listening radio as a main frequency everyone tapped into. Whether you were in your car, at a mall, grocery store, airport...that sound surrounded you & practically raised you. In 2023, I see so many of Sade's "children/grandchildren," artists that give you similar feels--live instruments, amazing arrangements, soothing vocals, etc--that don't get the hype or breakthrough mainstream success they would've gotten in that Quiet Storm era. A lot of that can be attributed to the splintered ways we receive our music these days, generational shifts in music tastes, & radio not being the primary way we discover newer artists, but it still sucks nonetheless. There are so many extremely talented "underground" acts that have sonically followed in Sade's footsteps that most people would never know existed unless they did some internet crate digging or a song by that artist happens to blow up via TikTok

[@MrMnmn911]

Nah. If all that was true she and her band would have not been able to go into hiatus for decades and emerge just as soulful, touching, smooth and unique as they were in their previous 8-10 years. She is special. Together they are very special.

[@FireMadeFleshII]

@MrMnmn911 Sade is special, but I think you're missing my point. What I said wasn't so much a knock against them as it is the culture. Sade can "go on hiatus for years & emerge just as soulful" because when they broke in the 80s, their sound--along with the Anita Bakers, Luther Vandross, etc--was THE dominant sound in Pop & RnB. You've had decades of listeners who've grown up with that sound who play it when they're cleaning their house or at a family gathering/cookout. Although it's not the dominant sound of today's music, people run back to that familiarity & that established relationship. My point was more about "newer" artists like The Foreign Exchange, Alex Isley, Jesse Boykins, We Are KING, Dornik, etc. Again, the sonic "children" or "grandchildren" of Sade who've all had their moderate successes, but don't quite breakthrough in this generation the same way Sade & their contemporaries did because of all the reasons I previously mentioned. That goes back to my other point that Sade (if they were a new artist/band) trying to breakthrough with the same mainstream success in 2024 as they did in 1984, it would just be different & very difficult despite how phenomonally talented they are.

[@ricardo.raddie]

I love when she licks her lips in these early interviews, kinda trademark, what a wonderful woman!

[@B0SC0E]

Hahaha

I'm afraid Roger (Phoebe's boyfriend from Friends) would define you as a kind of disorder personality... Ha-ha, just kidding :P

[@garfieldharrison510]

America didn't know where to place them. They saw this Beautiful Black Nigerian woman and immediately thought. Let's put their brand of music on the RnB charts. The fact is Sade is a global act. It's easy listening. It's popular. It's Jazz. Where you place her? Category World Music. Simple!! America need to drop categories. The World need to stop following that kind of division. When you go to their concert. The whole human race is attending. Sade Sings and connects with the listener with these Brilliant musicians. You can't categorize something so untouchable.

[@exysness]

Helen "Sade" Adu is an interesting phenomenon. She's really intriguing to look at and listen to in interviews - a captivating and an entirely original presence. A beautiful face. She's also completely British in the way she expresses herself. On stage, she's definitely a thing to look at but she sounds like she can't sing. She hits the notes but really roughly and her vocal control seems to be achieved by accident. On record, she sounds - again - completely unique and beautiful. So yeah, definitely not a great live singer but a terrific artist somehow. Just very lovely and slightly... weird.

[@brentwalker3300]

Sade is not a trained vocalist or diva in the sense of Barbra Streisand or Celine Dion. She became a singer somewhat by accident. But what she lacks in formal training and virtuosity she more than makes up for in tone and presentation. It's also worth noting that in some live performances she can really belt it out. So, she has a lot more power and variety in her voice than the albums normally reveal.

[@exysness]

That's right. What I find interesting is that she didn't have much self consciousness about her live vocal skills to actually go out on stage. Perhaps that's what made her stand out. Extraordinary presence and lovely voice but flawed. Sometimes that's more human that overall perfection

[@bolder2009]

I saw her on her tour in 2011 and she was outstanding. I've seen many of the greats (too many to name), and that concert was right at the top as one of the very best.

[@exysness]

@@bolder2009sure, I'm not surprised she became a really great live singer after years of practice. The amusing part by the fact she rose to prominence before that happened.

[@bolder2009]

@@exysness She always had a unique sound and voice which was enchanting but I agree that she got better over the years. Just For some perspective, I saw Adele within a few weeks of seeing Sade that year, who was riding high on the 21 album, and the gulf in performance was vast. Sade's vocal performance was far superior to my ears.

[@Marie0575]

I noticed she didn't really like how they pronounced her name. "Saadey"
