I dare you! Until you buy it on wax, it’ll have to be the Youtube. Hang On to Your Love, Diamond Life (1984): Sade’s first introduction to an American audience came with this song: powered by a heavy, driving bassline and some of Sade’s best advice. POPULAR SONG: Ed Sheeran - South of the Border - LYRICS feat. HOT SONG: Billie Eilish - bad guy (with Justin Bieber) - LYRICS. 18 Non-Traditional Yet Perfect Wedding Songs. I am not ashamed to say it brings tears to my eyes on most listens, especially when I’m with my lady. You think Id leave you down when youre down on your knees.

Naked Music is a label based in San Francisco and New York, known for their high-profile sexy house-oriented remixes of artists such as Kelis, Roy Ayers and of course, the lovely Sade.

My mother used to play “Diamond Life” on tape to lull me to sleep, and ever since, goosebumps rise whenever those vocal chords are struck. My ears were first graced by the smooth and sultry voice of Sade at a very early age.
