12 Sade Songs to Keep In Rotation

In dedication to Sade’s 66th birthday, we revisit 12 essential tracks by the British vocalist.

Backed by her talented band, Sweetback, she made an unforgettable debut with Diamond Life in 1984, which earned her the Brit Award for Best British Album. An island-tinged standout from Sade’s sixth and most recent album, “Soldier of Love,” “Babyfather,” is a sweet tribute to her son, Izaak, who even contributes backing vocals on the 2010 single. It was the music video that gave us the gorgeous cover art for “The Best of Sade.” “Cherish the Day” is Sade at her finest, and she dedicatedly looks to her lover to show her how “deep love can be.” We'd fall hard if it’s any deeper than the song’s airy production.
