Sade - No Ordinary Love

The English R&B/Soul band Sade with the great woman Sade was in Stockholm for a gig.
Around 13 trucks filled with stage, lights, sound, video and instruments.
Last time was 17 years ago....She is 52 years and she look awesome!Her voice still holds and is great!
A bit to slow music for me, but its good.

When I came into the gig they had a big fabric all around the stage that was showing a video on it, but one could still see Sade and the band. Look below on Stones pics.

Sade was born in Nigeria with a English mother and a Nigerian father.
Sade moved to Holland and then 18 years old she moved to England.

While at college, she joined a soul band, Pride, in which she sang backing vocals. Her solo performances of the song "Smooth Operator" attracted the attention of record companies and in 1983, she signed a solo deal with Epic Records taking three members of the band, Stuart Matthewman, Andrew Hale and Paul Denman, with her. Sade and her band produced the first of a string of hit albums. Their debut album Diamond Life was in 1984. She is the most successful solo female artist in British history, having sold over 50 million albums worldwide.

On her homepage it says: For most of the past 20 years, Sade has prioritised her personal life over her professional career, releasing only three studio albums of new material during that period. Her marriage to the Spanish film director Carlos Scola Pliego in 1989; the birth of her daughter in 1996 and her early 21st century move from North London to rural Gloucestershire, where she now lives with a new partner, have consumed much of her time and attention. And quite rightly so. "You can only grow as an artist as long as you allow yourself the time to grow as a person," Sade says. "We're all parents, our lives have all moved on. I couldn't have made Soldier of Love any time before now, and though it's been a long wait for the fans - and I am sorry about that - I'm incredibly proud of it.”
