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.
OMARION SIGNS TO YOUNG MONEY
After being dropped from Columbia last year, Omarion has signed to Lil Wayne’s Young Money imprint.
Posting on his Twitter, he said:
Thanks 4 all tha love yall!! Young money! Omarion!! You will believe and see God’s power!! I’m so humble I kant wait 2 give yall tha new me.
According to SoudScan, Omarion’s last album, 2007′s “Face Off,” the collaborative project with Bow Wow, has sold 365,000 copies in the United States.
OMARION——–> NEXT!!!!!
Love you Drake!! Tryna keep the Riri thing on the hush there. It’s their right to i guess. But we all remember how Chrianna vehemently denied their relationship to begin with and it was revealed in the most spectacular way that they were most definitely an item.lol. just sayin
Sade…ahh now thats an album I will be looking for. As for Drake, I’d be careful when getting involved with Rihanna b/c of how she is.. I’m just saying. Omarion..smh Wayne mustve been high when he signed this kat. He hasn’t done jack since that one video, Touch.
Good News, can’t wait to hear Sade.
Omarion need to get his ass back with B2K then maybe someone will actually listen to his cd.
who is Drake? well actually I don’t care.
Oh and for those asking whether what he said about dark skinned wome is true, yes, it is on his twitter. If he deleted it, which i doubt, that’s cool cos i saved a copy. With statements like those people ask why race is still an issue in 2009. *smh*
Drake’s translation: “Whenever you get loose b*tches areound you, you’re suppose to f*ck loose b*tches”
SOOOO excited to get wind of the new sade project!! YES!!! can’t wait to check it out. miss and love her bunches!
Yea to Sade…meh to Drake and Omarion.
I CAN’T WAIT FOR SADE NEW ALBUM !!!!
I CAN’T WAIT FOR SADE NEW ALBUM !!!!
@MrsKG,
You should get The Best of Sade to start. But here are some of my favs you should check out:
1) By Your Side (Neptunes Remix)
No Ordinary Love
2) King of Sorrow
3) Clean Heart
4) War of Hearts
5) Sally
6) Frankie’s First Affair
7) Love is Stronger Than Pride
9) It’s Only Love That Gets You Through
10) When Am I Going To Make a Living
The List goes on and on……She’s incredible! Her Lyrics + Voice+Band= Incredible Music! No one can hate on that! In fact, I question what music you listen to if you cannot feel Sade!
@Vividly.Artistic yeah he did deny the rumors. he also said her ppl made it up and i believe him b/c her publicist admitted to doing that with jay-z. they have to keep her popular somehow
i love sade! that SHE is fierce because she actually has talent and style. and she’s naturally gorgeous. it’s sad that ppl don’t know what the word fierce means. they throw it out at whoever is popular at the moment smh
and omarion is really really ugly. why would anyone care if he likes light skinned girls or whatever? if he gets a cute girl, it’s only b/c he has money and i’m sure he knows that. feel bad for him
@57, U WOULD LIKE THESE. START OUT BY LISTENING TO BULLET PROOF SOUL, THEN CHERISH THE DAY! U WILL BE HOOKED GIRL!
Also for those who want to check our Sade–Buy the Sade Live dvd–You will NOT be disappointed!!
Also for those who want to check out Sade–Buy the Sade Live dvd–You will NOT be disappointed!!
“Jezebel” and “Is it a Crime” carry serious weight….Those Sade songs are crucial!
I’m just sooo happy!! It is wonderful to read sooo many positive comments about Sade. A living legend!
im dying at the fact that omarion said he dates light skinn girls cuz “MY MOTHER IS LIGHT SKINNED”
his mother is DARK SKINNED.wat is he smoking? he must be colour blind
Love Sade, her music is so sexy, sensual, and smooth, anticipating the release of her new cd. I’ve seen her live in concert, she does’nt do a lot of hard dancing, but she simply captivates the audience. She has such a unique vocal style. She ‘s just so smoooooth!!!
[jumps up and down screaming]
OMG!!!!! SADE!!!! YEEEEEEEESSS!!!!!!!!!!!
Sade-So glad she’s coming back! A true representation of elegance and quality music. Her return was long over due but very much appreciated and needed in this messed up industry. Welcome back!
Drake-I haven’t totally fell for the his hype and I could care less if him and Rihanna are kicking it. His mixtapes are pretty cool though. I’ll give his album a listen.
Omarion- Don’t care for his music, and if he really did say what I heard he said, he’s an idiot. Most of the fan base he had left are offended as they should be and may be gone. I personally think skin tone preferences is sad and a just politically correct way of saying you are color struck whether you say you’re only attracted to light or dark. A person can be attractive no matter what shade, so saying you are only attracted to one skin tone is just stupid. Again that’s just my opinion. Those Willie Lynch letters sure did it’s damage on our people even centuries later. SMH!
@ 25 EVEINTHEGARDEN
You’re right, she’ll do her little 2 step, turn in a circle real slow, maybe a little side step and have the audience eatting out of her hand. She is so pretty, has that exotic look going on, and her band is so tight, they sound good.
First Maxwell making a comeback, and now Sade? 2009 is the year for GOOD MUSIC. I’m so glad there hear this. Thanks CL!
I like Drake’s response to the questions about him and Rihanna. People really need to grow up and stop assuming whether a celebrity is dating another celebrity just because they’ve been seen out and about together. And if they are dating so what? Like he said, they’re young and they just want to have fun and enjoy life. Don’t we all want that?
Omarion? Young Money? Whoop-dee-friggin-do. Omarion lost cool points from me when he did that sloppy collab with Bow Wow.
There is a ice box where his heart use to be, but there is a safe in the closet full of benjamins. Hey, you lay it out to play it out. Payment in full is forthcoming.
im lookin forward to omarions album
his last one was good
to all the females…..ya’ll need to stop hatin on omarion seriously..if he dont like dating dark skin women that is his PREFERENCE…just like im sure there are women in here who will not date DARK OR LIGHT GUYS, FAT, TOO SHORT, whatever is ur hangup..EVERYONE..has a preference and for you all to be goin on him because he was honest and said his makes all of you LAME ..and we dont even KNOW if he actually said it..
GET A LIFE>>there are plenty of guys who do date dark skin women..half of you wouldnt have a chance anyway even if u were lightskin
i heard about that since the b2k days that omarion felt that way about darkskin women. One of his songs on his cd talked about girl impressed and its not because your lightskinned, he said. That made people question too.
Sade its about time! Drake needs to come out! Omarion Ho sit down!
I guess your daddy chris stokes not handling his business you have to sign with young money.
Its about time because I am so tired of BORE-YONCE and her bubblegum garbage, music just ain’t the same til SADE comes back!
WOOHOO!!! My favorite female vocalist of all time is releasing a new album! Damn, this is some good news!

Sade is a living legend her music is timeless a voice that cannot be duplicated..so glad shes back in the studio creating new material. Sade is the definition of REAL music! Most 80′s babys were conceived to her songs. I havent heard any hate about Sade cause that would just be irrelevant her music is too good. One of the Greats!
Sade shits on everyone, love her. And Im young saying that. She is amazing.
SADE!!!! Nuff said, the rest of this post is irrelevant to me. Just seeing that one name is enough!
Man they (cause Sade is the name of the group as a whole too!) are so amazing. Her voice is like nothing else I’ve ever heard. It’s so rich, so layered and textured and it’s like she’s seducing you with it. Like her vocal chords were lined with gold or something.
By Your Side, No Ordinary Love and Sweetest Taboo are my favourites.
Omarion needs a spell-check.
OMARION YU SUCK AND PLAYED OUT…I HOPE YU GET DROPPED FRM YUNG MONEY…GIVE UP..YU ARE NOTHING AND WILL NEVER BE NOTHING WIITH OUT B2K!! DRAKE IIM SO EXCITED FOR YU KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK…YU GOT YA RIDE A DIE FANS ALLLL THE WAY!!
