I would’ve loved to see Sade at the ceremony, but their absence doesn’t take away from this honor. The arrangements, the musicianship, Sade Adu’s phrasing… that band created a sound that’s still unmistakable more than four decades later. This recognition is LONG overdue.
Sometimes listen to music without words. It’s good to quiet your mind. Sit in silence, listen to jazz, listen to classical, listen to instrumentals. There's magic in stillness.
