If the Idjuts are lurking, please, please, please put out that trippy Paradise edit from 15 years back. Or send a discreet PM…

I actually gasped when I read that which is quite a silly reaction, I’ve always had a crush/love for Sade but we’re pretty heavily indoctrinated into the cult of Sade in South Africa.

She is obviously a very beautiful woman (god I sound like Swiss Tony) but yeah her music just doesn’t do it for me. That said Im only going off what I’ve heard-don’t know her entire catalogue so open to suggestions

A lot of 80s wine bar vibes, which I don’t mind, but I can see why she’s not for everyone. I’ve been a fan since I was a teenager!

I think that’s it to some extent …city traders waiting on their coke dealer… eighties

i’m probably reading too much into it but there’s a kindness and softness to her vocals that i appreciate. she sounds comforting. she’s never screamed at me (on record, or in real life).

I remember that summer of 84, what with this and the Style Council we were almost buying French fags

did/do any of you spend much time in wine bars? do they still exist? (where I live, everyone guzzles wine so distinction is blurred…) I thought they’d given way to more generic tapas or dimly lit gastros… in any case, I always associated that soppy music more with early morning cab rides back from parties when you were pleading with the driver to put on something more ‘appropriate’

I went to one before Christmas in Borough, although I don’t drink wine. Definitely different to both a bar and a pub for reasons I can’t really explain!

Be careful about asking cab drivers to change the tunes….,doesn’t always go well.

I hope French cabbies are more obliging than Spanish ones, who take personal offence if you ask for anything other than reggaeton

French taxis are the most expensive on the planet so I’m sure they’ll play anything you fancy!

Now you’re talking. She gives me all the feels. Don’t get me wrong, I like Sade, it’s just the endless reworks and edits.
