Re: New Sade Album|Soldier of Love

It's a slow week on the Billboard 200, as Sade's "Soldier of Love" album retains the No. 1 position for a second frame, shifting 190,000 copies (down 62%), according to Nielsen SoundScan.

That brings her two week total to 692,000 in the US alone.

Dailymotion - sade on twss - a Webcam & Vlogs video

"Sade is one of the most elegant, natural, sensual and impactful voices of our time! There is no one in the world like her who can touch the very spirit of any soul from any walk of life. She is the essence of music, that which brings us all together. She makes her own rules, everyone else just seems to follow. She is a priceless gift that illuminates and I'm so grateful for the way she has touched and inspired my life." -Alicia Keys

And Ricky Martin tweeted he was listening to 'Morning Bird' the other night....Yeees, I follow Ricky Martin on twitter.

LMAO!! That was real funny. Wanda is a mess!

Thanks for this since we don't get it in the USA, I think.

Wonder what the total sales outside the US is?

Re: New Sade Album|Soldier of Love

After seeing the upcoming cover of Ebony magazine, I still can't get over how young she looks.

Re: New Sade Album|Soldier of Love

^ Wow, that's a hot look for 51. I just watched her Smooth Operator and No Ordinary Love videos and she looks just as young as she was in the '80s. I've heard (and even sung along) to these songs for years working midnights at a coffee shop as a teen but never placed a band name to them. Funny how that works out, eh...listening to something on looped music for so long and never placing a name.

So does that mean you might appreciate it now?

I hope I look that good at 51. Shit I wish I looked that good now.

But let's not kid ourselves, as much as I love Sade, she had some help with that pic. But when you look at the above posted videos you can tell she looks AMAZING for 51 compared to others much younger than her.

Drake Still Hopeful For A Collaboration With Sade 'One Day"

'Stepping outside your zone can jeopardize your brand,' Drizzy says of Sade's no-collabo policy.

Drake said he wasn't upset when he heard that Sade — an artist he had wanted to collaborate with on his upcoming Thank Me Later debut — said she's not into guest-starring on anyone's project.


"I don't think they have contacted me," Sade, 51, told Canada's National Post last month. "I've never collaborated because I've always avoided working outside my safety zone — I can be exactly who I am and can fail or succeed within the moment. I feel safe working like I do. I wouldn't want to work in a situation where I am expected to deliver, because I think I wouldn't deliver."

Drake said he might not get with her this time, but maybe on a future album.

"That's great. Her brand is always protected. That's why," Drake said of her comments on the set of his "Over" video last week in California. "Other people's visuals, other people's songs, stepping outside your zone can jeopardize your brand. It can bring you down as opposed to bring you up. I personally feel we could have done something amazing. But I don't think she really knows who I am, really, my genre of music. I put it out there. It was more of a hopeful thing. It was a very early stage where I was at when I said that I was hoping. One day. Maybe after this album comes out.

"I'm very influenced by her," he added. "She does something that I do. She doesn't do too much with harmonies, and she keeps her vocals very clean. Single vocals. Haunting melodies. I'm influenced by her a lot. One day."

I bought the c.d. and I like it. But I dont LOVE it like her others.

Re: New Sade Album|Soldier of Love

I wonder if the girl on the left singing back-up (in the Jay Leno performance) is Sade's daughter. The resemblance is sorta uncanny and she appears to be around the same age as Ila. It'd be totally awesome if it was.

I think you're right. The shorter background singer is her daughter.

Re: New Sade Album|Soldier of Love
