"Sade" (pronounced "Shade"), a musical group from the UK, performing compositions in the style of funk, soul, jazz, soft rock, rhythm-en-blues, organized in 1982. It includes guitarist and saxophonist Stuart Mathewman, soloist Shade Adu, bassist Andrew Hale and keyboardist Paul Spencer Denman.
In 1984, the musicians recorded a mini-album “Diamond Life”, and its release “opens” the way for the band to the big stage. The band's debut album Promise appeared in 1985 and immediately after its release became quite popular and commercially successful. The next year, the soloist of the band Shade Adu is awarded the first Grammy in the nomination “best new artist”. This summer, the musicians are going on their first tour. 1988 saw the release of the album "Stronger Than Pride", in support of which again followed the tour throughout Europe.
In 1989, at the American Music Awards, Shade received the award as “best soul artist”. Inspired by the award, Shade is redoubled in his zeal for recording Love Deluxe, released in 1993. The following year, the musicians recorded a collection of remixes “The Best of Sade”, after the release of which the musicians suspend creative activity and engage in their own projects.
At the beginning of the new century, with the emergence of new trends in music, the group “Sade” again gathers in the studio and releases a full-fledged studio album “Lovers Rock”. And in 2001, in his support, make a tour of the United States, during which the musicians collect material for the next album “Lovers Live”, released in 2002.
And again quite a long creative silence, working with other artists and bands. It was only in 2009 that the band decided to begin work on their new album, Soldier of Love, which was released on iTunes in 2010. Immediately after the release, the collection debuts at the top of Billboard 2009.
