Girls, Girls, Girls: Chick of the Week 11/30 – Sade Adu

30 11 2009


I’m taking yall back with today’s Chick of the Week with the beautiful lead singer of Sade. Sade is hails from London, England and is of Nigerian and British descent. From the mid 80’s to the late 90’s, Sade flooded the Soul/Jazz/R&B game melodic hits and a distinctive sound. Her smooth voice and pretty face set her aside from other female singers during that era. Though it’s been over 9 years since her band’s put out an album, she is still recognized as a music icon and is still hot. She’s working on a new album Soldier of Love (album cover inside) that is due out February 2010.

Jamie Foxx feat. Gucci Mane – Speak French
speakfrench
Jamie Foxx is back at it with his new single featuring Gucci Mane (yet again) and production from “A Milli’s” Bangladesh. The song contains the same elements as Mario’s “Break Up” with the Gucci feature and sharing the same producer, but sounds completely different. Jamie came out the blue with this joint since no one knew he was working on a new album but expect one in 2010.
