My mom and I would listen to her endlessly at home. At that time, we lived in a two bed-roomed apartment, right in the centre of Bloemfontein, across a dingy, pink-coloured joint with little "spaza" shops owned by Pakistani expats, who were and still accused of populating the city and encouraging black business to depreciate. Maybe even, wipe out most of the local tuck - shops in the area.
The first time, I ever heard of Sade Adu was probably the same decade, as the same decade of the release of "Waiting to Exhale" and "How Stella got her groove back" - iconic movies that transgressed black women towards Independence . Besides, being a really talented and intelligent artist, Sade manages to bridge her intense journey into self-love and relationships so honestly that people across the globe have undeniably opened their hearts to her, with no fear or doubt. She released a celestial element to her music and the creation of the music can take longer than raising a son or daughter, as she has proven with her tenure in the music industry.
The concert in Antwerp was the second one during her tour and she was accompanied by her mother, whom she proudly introduced to the audience. From her Album, Diamond Nights, she sang the popular "sweetest taboo",which was sampled by the French Duo, Les Nubian, in the early nineties. The rendition of the song marked Sade as a respected figure in the industry, in my own observations, merely on the premise that her songs embrace both her West African heritage and her English upbringing. Moreover, inspire young women of diverse backgrounds, such as the French Nubians to be proud of their mixed heritage.
She is more than an artist. First and foremost, a woman. Definitely, with a heart full of fragile strength. The concert was momentous for my mother and I, for my ex's and I, my girls and I and all the relationships I had ever had up until that night. No one could have encouraged me more than Sade about the richness and fortune of love that comes from women.
Her sensual mannerisms come to life on stage, her sultry voice reaches out to everyone; the incredible lyrics sent me thinking about all mothers, such as my own mom of how it would be to see Miss Adu in full presence and relate to her in a way that empowers them to be a Love Deluxe - cultivating all that rhapsodic love, for their sons and daughters to be soldiers of love.
