After 10 years of waiting, a dream is finally coming true. Sade's new album is scheduled to drop on February 8th.
It's hard to describe what Sade's music mean to me.
She's always been one of my mom's all time favorite singers, and so she'd play her tapes on my dad's old boombox for hours on end. It didn't matter whether she was cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, or simply trying to take nap, Sade was there, singing ... being a part of the family.
It's not difficult describing the music you grow up with, but it is extremely difficult finding words to express the feelings behind the music you grow up on; the one that shapes you in your early years, the one that speaks to you throughout your entire life, the one that is there whenever you go - and grow - through something that affects you deeply.
There is a sort of unbreakable bond between you and that music. After becoming such a part of you, it's almost as if the music is an extension of yourself.
The music is you.
That's what Sade's music means to me.

Sade has a new album coming? Great news! My story's a little different. I ignored Sade's music while growing up. It wasn't until I became an adult that I recognized the beauty of her voice and personality in her lyrics. It's amazing that some things just mean more to you after you've lived through a few things...
I totally understand what you mean. I felt the same way about Tori Amos... It took me a while to fully appreciate her music.
Loves sade
