Helen Folsade Adu
BORN: January 16, 1959, ADO-EKITI, Nigeria
Lovers Rock is the first collection of new work by Sade in eight years.
But it's a record that says less about those years gone by than the
promise and vitality of the here and now. It's an album that's by
turns moving, elegiac and beautiful. Like the tender, acoustic
guitar-driven first single, 'By Your Side', a song about the tensile
strength of love, it is music stripped back to its essential elements:
voice, melody, and meticulously arranged instrumentation. The result
is a record of bare, sometimes startlingly, immediacy.
But then Helen Folasade Adu is a woman who has never had anything to
hide. Born in Ibadan, Nigeria and raised in Colchester, Essex, where she
moved at 4 after her English mother separated from her Nigerian father,
she's spent her life trying to do what feels right, honest and true.
Because by comparison nothing else has seemed as important. When she was
growing up, Sade would listen to soul artists like Curtis Mayfield,
Donny Hathaway and Marvin Gaye. Singers uniquely attuned to the
complex sensibilities of heartache and hope, who were skilled enough
to create from those feelings, something lasting and transcendent. Still
she didn't think about singing herself.
Rather, she studied fashion at St Martin's art college, only signing
on as vocalist when a couple of old school friends started a band "until
they found a proper singer". From there to singing with early
Eighties Latin funk collective Pride, she discovered a rare delight in
songwriting. It was while she was with that group, Sade co-wrote 'Smooth
Operator' with Ray St. John, and it was from there that Sade
abandoned diffidence and finally stepped centre stage to form her own
group with fellow Pride members Stuart Matthewman, Andrew Hale and
Paul Spencer Denman.
