    Her voice is shining through in a much different way in the beginning of the song, she sounded like a man. Nonetheless, she still has that characteristic exotic, far away in foreign lands type of vibe. I like it, she’s always moving forward and yet remaining familiar.

  8. ROYALFLUSHLADY

    LOVE the way she’s AcKNOWledging her Nigerian Heritage – Wonderful.

  9. GirlBye

    I’m so happy she’s back and I love the song.

  11. bryant ( aka trey songz bottom lip )

    ..Hmm, I too prefer her past work.. this is still smooth though. Still excited about February. I can see 50 million rappers jakking her voice and trying to throw it on a hook though sigh.

  12. SHNAN

  13. !LuvYaBreezy!

    Sade is simply amazing. And she looks beautiful in that pic. Hope she comes with the fire, because her songs are classics.

  14. afrobella82

  15. mary

    outstanding!!! sade NEVER disappoints when it comes to the music.

    and it is me, or is she just timeless? i could see why aaliyah was so in love with her, they favor each other a lot. i believe they even have the same birthday.

    that joint rocks!!!!!!!!!

  25. Dude-N-Htown

    Finally a post of a female singer and no one mentioned any other female artist. GREAT!!!

    Now on to Sade…..her voice is sooooo sexy. I was jus listening to “Is It A Crime” this past Sunday. You may not prefer her kinda music, but you gotta admit that her voice is beautiful.

    I wasnt feeling this song so much, but hey it’s Sade. So imma say it’s hot regardless.

  26. Dude-N-Htown

    @ 18 I can slightly agree with what you’re saying. There’s a bias.

    Hell I admitted to mine bias…i said i was feeling the song, but Imma say its hot just becuz it’s Sade.

    But also keep in mind that some ppl jus have different taste in music.

    What I hate is that when someone likes something..it’s ” REAL MUSIC”….Like wat the hell is “real” music. Music is art. You dont go into an art gallery and say “I dont like that, thats not a real painting” or “what happen to the real paintings like they had back in that day?”…I mean that sounds ridiculous.

  27. prettyinblack

    All I have to say is I love her and I think she is sooooo beautiful. I will always be a fan, and thanks to my Mom for introducing me to Good music.

  28. LISA

    I’m not really feelin’ it. I’ve never really been a Sade fan. She bores me to tears.

  29. prettyinblack

    @18..smh..you must be a teeny bop because its young fools like yourself that will unfortunate NEVER know what good music sounds like…how dare you diss a legend and compare her to a rookie like ALICIA KEYS??? lol do you not realize where such talented women like ALICIA KEYS GET THERE INSPIRATION FROM???? You obviously have no IDEA whom this remarkable GIFTED singer is?…unfortunately I can tell your knowledge in music is zero…..plz go back to bumpin your rihannas and ciaras because obviously that is the only knowledge you would probably ever have in music. SUCKS FOR YOU.

  30. prettyinblack

    Sade is the epitome of classic soulful relaxing jazz music…if thats not your taste thats cool but plz show respect when due…her music is not only inspiriational but what good music is all about.

    She is definately a true artist that deserves respect. Because thats what she eliminates through her music and STYLE with songs like “Keep Looking” and Kiss of life…there will never be another Sade you young bloods have no idea soo im not surpised at such comments like shes “boring” or she sounds “like a man”…LMAO so did NINA SIMONE but ppl clearly knew she was most certainly a woman that can sing with such power as if she were a man…sad to say most of these so called singers could never hit a note or make music like those remarkable women.

  31. Nyla

    Yall fake people can diss Alicia Keys all you want to….BTW this is a Sade post so why try to bring in another artist but reality is come DECEMBER 15, 2009, the ELEMENT of FREEDOM will drop and will be NUMBER 1 just like her past records. I listened to the entire CD on Alicia Keys Facebook page and it’s pure fire! So please fall back haters!

  32. prettyinblack

    @12 I agree. Her past work was her best to me. Im not really feelin this song either but I will always have the up most respect for such a beautiful artist. Her music has helped many…her song Keep lookin is my most favorite and most inspirational song to me that she has ever made.

  33. s. dot

    Love the beat. Love Sade, so i was so tempted to just rate it HOT just because of that. But honestly. it’s just okay. Still buying that CD though.

  34. prettyinblack

    @33…I have much love for ALICIA KEYS she is only one of the very few COMMERICIAL ARTIST out that is still keepin it classy funky and real. Despite her personal drama I still have respect for her as well….even though im not a fan of her first single but her second single is very nice…but that song with her and Beyonce…I do not approve…but hey I still would like to hear her album..and I also think Monica is going to make a great comeback as well :-)

  35. Check out my blog: bmike.net

    Absolute FIRE. Love her.

  36. Ana

    AWESOME, I LOVE IT. I ESPECIALLY LOVE HOW THE INSTRUMENTALS SOUND SIMILAR TO OZZY OSBOURNE MUSIC. THOSE WHO ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH OZZY OSBOURNE MUSIC, THE HIP-HOP-ROCK ANTHEM CALLED ” PARTY LIKE A ROCK STAR”, SAMPLE THE INSTRUMENTAL FROM ONE OF OZZY’S SONG. SADE’S SONG HADS A ROCK -FEEL TO IT, SO THATS A PLUS BECAUSE I LOVE ROCK. GO SADE!

  37. HONI

    I love…will jump on this bandwagon any day!

  38. Ana

    AWESOME! THIS SONG INCORPORATES MY ONE OF MY FAVORITE GENRES OF MUSIC……..ROCK! THE INSTRUMENTALS ARE SIMILAR TO OZZY OSBOURNE’S ” CRAZY TRAIN”, WHICH MANY HAVE SAMPLED , SUCH AS THE SHOP BOYZ ” PARTY LIKE A ROCK ” SONG. GO SADE!

  39. Jolie

    I like Sade, YES, YES, YES, and I didn’t even listen.

  40. SOSOFRESH

    @28….All art paintings arent good paintings RIGHT? theers real and fake,same with music,music is art ur right but its alot of FAKE music out there.alot of robots out there doin the same sh!t and not tryna set there self apart from the rest,Now SADE has always set herself apart from the rest,now theres good artist out there but alot of them remind me some 1 else,BUT SADE REMINDS ME OF NO 1,and she stays in her own lane,and has never tried to duplicate any 1 else feel me,I cant speak for any 1 else but i kno as for me when im listening to sade ima hear something thats authentic,real,orginal,heart felt,and inspirational AND IM A NI99A LOL,but i fuks wit her becuz real reconize real,and i can here the realness in her voice and in her,PLUS my moms is a huge fan of her and thats all i heard when i was goin up…..PLUS LOOK AT HER SHE SEXY AS HELL LOL

  41. Dude-N-Htown

    @40 SOSOFRESH…..art, literature, music.are left to be interpreted by the anyone who’s viewing. There’s no STANDARD that makes it “real”.

  42. theComplex

    I’m surprisingly not keen on this track. It’s just ‘okay’ for me. Hopefully the album will have better tracks.

  43. Carma

    glad to see her back on the scene with good music. she has been missed

  44. KS

    has a Bob Marley feel to it. Its nice

  45. SOSOFRESH

    @33 Jus becuz they getn on alicia keys dont make them FAKE ma,plus they have a valid reason 2,this is wut i dont get,how you gna talk about WOMEN EMPOWERMENT,and you still fuckn a married man,and its not like they was getn a divorce yet,HE WAS ATILL WITH HIS WIFE,immean if thats how you get down koo,but dont talk about how strong you are a woman and how woman should be strong,CUZ THAT MAKES HER WEAK……but that jus coming from a males perspective

  46. HORSE.HEAD.NEBULA

    Perfection!… of course

  47. mrs. sk8board p (ak & bk stan)

    love it.. her voice is so relaxing

  48. hilltop

    I LOVE SADE AND THIS SONG!!!! I can’t wait to buy her cd!!!

  49. Anonymous

    Nice and so refreshing. Can’t wait until the album drops in February.

  50. stevona

    I am so glad she is back! Love the new song!

  51. Nyla

    @47 I see where you’re coming from, believe me but my thing is regardless Alicia Keys makes good music. She’s always made good music and that speaks for itself. But now since Alicia did or did not (no one knows) do something wrong it’s she’s going to flop, she’s not good anymore, she wack or her music is wack. What Im saying is those few who say that liked her music before hand and would like it now. The music is good music, she is one of the few artists who makes consistently good music. The fact is her fan base is still large and will be large regardless because she’s a great artist and she will continue to sell. You and no one else knows the story so just because you choose to believe what you do and I choose to believe what I do shouldnt take away from the music because it’s good. In my opinion just like your opinion.

  52. Richy

    The song sounds GREAT

  53. Richy

    The song sounds GREAT

  54. Mayne

    You have to love Sade.

    She is so special and there will never be a time when music doesn’t need her presence.

  55. DARKAQUA

    ITS SADE…SHIT IS AUTOMATICALLY “HOT”…SCREW A SURVEY LOL

  56. L.A. Lady

    I LOVE IT!! The lyrics and the music. The music, the band Sweetback. Gotta love them too!

    Welcome back Sade!

  57. L.A. Lady

    I meant “her band Sweetback”. Been with her since she first came out in the 80s
