Rema Channels Sade on ‘Baby (Is It a Crime)’
Rema samples Sade’s “Is It a Crime” on “Baby (Is It a Crime),” after teasing the song in November 2024. It’s his first single of 2025.
Sade Adu’s voice is the first to break through the intro’s staticky crackle while slick drums kick in. “With everything going viral and everything just spreading across the world, I feel like it has also affected the sound [of Afrobeats],” Rema told Rolling Stone ahead of the album. After performing at Coachella in April, Rema will be globetrotting to Berlin, Germany, Okinawa, Osaka, Chofu, and Malmo, Sweden, for shows.
