According to Billboard, Sade is recording her first album of new material since 2000′s Lovers Rock.
Known for her long delays between releases, Sade and the group that bears her name are in the studio. Although Sony has not set a release date, the label hopes the record will be out by the end of 2009.
“She is in the studio and the album will come when it is ready,” a source at Sony told Billboard. “You don’t wait for years for one and then rush it.”
R&B crooner Maxwell, who’s releasing a record soon after a long hiatus, is said to have heard snippets of Sade’s new music. He sent a message via Facebook saying, “Trust me, it’s so monolithic it’ll shake you in your shoes!” Can’t wait!
DRAKE SPEAKS ON RIHANNA
Rihanna is busy prepping her upcoming album and has enlisted rising rapper Drake to help. In a recent interview with DJ Semtex, Drake revealed that he’s actually writing for Rihanna right now.
“I’ve never in my mind felt like, “Oh I could probably write something crazy for Rihanna,” that wasn’t my first thought. But being put up to the task, we’re coming up with some special stuff. It’s crazy,” Drake says.
Rumors hit the web that the two were doing more than making music together, but neither has confirmed or denied it. Drake said, “We’re young. We’re just having fun and enjoying life. That’s all.”
Drake is also working on his own debut, Thank Me Later, and said he’s looking forward to working with Jay-Z, Kanye West and Lil Wayne. According to Billboard, Drake is close to signing a deal with Universal Motown in one of the biggest bidding wars ever.

Sade new album, the best news I’ve gotten all week
YES!!! I LOVE Sade. I hope she tours again, because I haven’t seen her live yet. I’ll like to do that before I die, LOL….and this will probably be her last album, so its now or never…lol….
Atlast, my dream has come true. Sade, you have finally come to your senses. Yes Lord!!!!
idk…i love drake and riri
WHATEVER SADE PUTS OUT..IM BUYING. IM SO GLAD TO HEAR SHE’S COMING BACK.
You know that you are talented when you dont have to do ish on stage but sit there on a stool and SING. Thats how TOUGH Sade was. No girating. No elaborate shows…just a stool, her hair in that long ass ponytail and some red lipstick and Sade wreckkkkkkkkked the show.
yeeeeeeah to sade!!!! last time i had her newz she was at beyoncé’s concert in london glad to have some music newz!!!!
Who is Drake already tired of hearing his name.
MAMA BEEN LAID OFF, PAPA BEEN LAID OFF, BILLY CANT GET A JOB FOR TOO LONG TOO LONG!, I LOVEEEEE SADE. MY DADDY ALWAYS PLAYED HER MUSIC AS I WAS GROWING UP, ALONG WITH THE BRAND NEW HEAVIES, BEN TANKARD, AND THE JAZZMASTERS! HE ALWAYS DID GAVE A THING FOR THEM LIGHT WOMEN, LOL! SADE IS SOOOO PRETTY!
I LOVE SADE!!! My mom and dad used to play her when I was maybe 10 or so… i love her music and Im de buying. AS far as Omarion I think he is tangier than “Sexy Spec” LOL and Drake, I dont get all the hype around him. Im trying to give him a chance since KAnye supports him but all I see when i look at him is little Jimmy in a wheelchair fron Degrassi SMH
Damn # 17 ! Tell us how you really feel.lol!
I’ll definately be getting Sade’s album! Can’t wait!
Can’t wait for Sade, I’m still playing “Somebody Already Broke My Heart” off her last album.
Yeah I read the Omarion thing about light-skinned chicks yesterday on MTO so I figured it wasn’t true (lol), but who cares about any ignorant person who limit themselves to loving or dating someone based on skin tone/color.
Thats all well and good but can we talk about Electrik Red’s album doing lass than K-Fed numbers? They didnt even make the top 50. SMH. Their album is gonna go plastic.
I’m so excited about Sade’s new album. This is the best news I’ve heard in awhile!
Loving Drake. And I can’t wait for his album!
Omarion? Oh please. But I liked him on Drake’s “Bria’s Interlude”. lol
@ 33.
Their numbers were less than K-Fed’s? lol
I thought they might’ve done well, considering the fact that when I went to FYE on Saturday, How to Be a Lady was sold out! lmao
OMG!! That is the best news I have heard in a while!! SADE!!!! OMG! Real GOOD music at its best! I am sooo excited!!!!!!!!
I LOVE Sade!!! I cannot wait!!!
Why would Wayne sign that Lame to his young money Imprint? I was wondering why that no talent fool was on Drakes Mixtape. Anyhoo, I’m happy for Drake. I hope he lives up to the hype surrounding him or else those labels will drop him in a second.
YEH SAAAAAADDDDEEE!!
YEH SAAAAADDDDEEEE!!! lets get back to some real talent, real music sheez!
Ummmmmm
Great to see Sade back in action!!
Drake denied Rihanna on a Hot97 a couple of weeks ago, he said they were at Lucky Strike together but nothing is going on…even if there is, im sure he’s trying to get all the publicity he can get. I can’t stomach them together so im throwing all kinda excuses on the table LOL.
LMAO@ Omarion, boy stop. If what he said about Darkskinned women is true then he needs help. Seriously. Why is he signed to young money anyway? What happened to Chris Stokes?
You know there was always something off about Omarion to me!!!………As someone who is light skinned….It is such a turn-off when dudes especially Black dudes only want to talk to me because of my hue! We got a beautiful brown-skin first lady and ni99a’s still on some whole light-skin bull-ish? People like that will never find their true loves because their of their own shallowness.
I AM GETTING INCREASINGLY PISSED WITH HOW DRAKES CAREER IS PROGRESSING. I BELIEVE THAT THIS GUY IS VERY TALENTED AND I’VE BEEN RIDING FOR HIM SINCE HIS FIRST MIXTAPE DROPPED HOWEVER HE NEEDS TO JUST SIGN A DEAL, RELEASE THE ALBUM AND STICK TO HIS ORIGINAL FORMULA! ALL OF THIS WORKING WITH JAY Z, LIL WAYNE, KANYE WEST AND RIHANNA IS JUST GONNA PULL HIM BACK AND RESULT IN HIM BECOMING THE SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE WHICH IS THE TOTAL OPPOSITTE TO WHY WE ALL LIKE DUDE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
JAY Z IS A CAMEL, KANYE WEST IS MENTALLY DERANGED, LIL WAYNE IS WACK (STRAIGHT CRACKHEAD) AND RIHANNA A WASHED UP WITCH. WHY WOULD YOU WANNA WORK WITH ANY OF THESE. I CAN SEE IT NOW DRIZZY GONNA BE TRYNA BE A ROCKSTAR NEXT YEAR. HOLLYWOOD FUCKS EVERYONE UP!
@19 Ummmmm
@27 Well you betta stay away from music/blogs cause were gonna keep talking
@33 Whoops that blows for them…kinda funny for us
@38 Probably use him as a hook man like WC rap uses Nate Dogg lol
*Beenie Sigel voice*, Omarion minds well just come out the closet,lol…
————By the content of people that are surrounding this character “Drake”, the
————same demonic cabal of “Jay-Z”, “Rihanna”, “Kanye”, etc., it’s clear to be
————seen that the cat is a satanist and was probably defiled from a young age
————just to get on that show “Degrassi”. I expect him to blow up now that I see
————this nonsense.
GLAD TO SEE SADE DOING HER THING AGAIN! SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED LADY. I HAVE ALL OF HER MUSIC.
RIHANNA & DRAKE? YES, NO, MAYBE? WHO CARES…JUST ANOTHER REASON FOR WOMEN TO HATE RIHANNA.
OMARION CAN KISS MY ENTIRE A$$! WITH HIS LITTLE SHORT A$$…LOOKING LIKE INCH HIGH PRIVATE EYE.

Ooooh! I can’t wait for Sade’s album, I have her LP’s! She’s hot like fire, atleast my momma said she was back then.
Drake, Rihanna, Omarian= UGH!
—TRUST your mama!! I was at a Sade concert in college and she sang acapella and I cried like a baby! Real talk It was just that beautiful!!
I’m digging Drake..I like the music I’ve heard of his so far..I still love him on Degrassi!
Never checked to hard for Omarion..wish him well
Alright Drake!! =]
I’m still obsessed with Sade’s “No Ordinary Love” I cant wait for her.
Is Omarion’s racist ass kidding? NEXT!
Drake is very ugly to me so NEXT.
Looking forward to Sade, her music gives me what i need..
Omarion needs to go and sit down somewhere, nobody is checking for him anymore.
I am super amped for this Sade cd! I hope she does a US tour ! I have all her CDs and the Lovers Rock live dvd…Ive seen almost all my favorite artists live but have yet to see Sade. What treat that would be! I’m about to pull out my Sade catalog right now,lol.
Yaaaaay Sade!!
I love Drake but I guess talent alone doesn’t cut it these days, you have to drum up some sort of publicity to get noticed. But we’ll see which route he chose when the album drops.
Omarion…yea, I’ma leave that alone, lol
But yaaaaaaaay Sade!!!
FUCK THE REST!
SADE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO MATTERS!
DRIZZY DRAKE IS A BEAST ON THE MIC
ANYTHING HE DOES IS GONNA GO HARD…….
I LOVE Sade. Can’t wait to hear the new album.
Damn..absolutely NO negative words regarding SADE.. never heard her music b4..
