Welcome back, let's continue with the week dedicated to Sade.

The mid-years of Sade's career represent a period marked by both continuity and innovation. After the initial success, subsequent albums like "Promise" (1985) and "Stronger Than Pride" (1988) solidify her role as a pioneer in the adult contemporary genre, thanks in part to the unique blend of soul, jazz, and pop influences. In the album "Promise," Sade and her band explore the range of emotions with the usual class and sophistication, featuring tracks like "The Sweetest Taboo" and "Is It a Crime." With "Love Deluxe," Sade reaches new heights creatively and commercially. In "No Ordinary Love," Sade delves into the complexity of human relationships over music that expresses an elegant fusion of jazz, soul, and pop.

Beyond the strictly musical realm, during those years, Sade is highly influential in fashion and social spheres. Her impeccable stage presence and sophisticated style inspire designers and fashion enthusiasts, solidifying her status as an icon not only in music but also in the world of visual culture. Lastly, her commitment to issues such as education and health further demonstrates that her influence extends well beyond music.

The song we present today is "The Sweetest Taboo." Enjoy listening!
