Update: Sade

















R&B singer Sade is to release her first album in nine years, according to reports. Sade's US website has been refreshed and a new site, Sade2009.com, has been launched with purported information about the forthcoming record.

The reports have been confirmed by Aruba-based radio station RAAR FM, although Sade's label has yet to comment – or to reassure sceptics that Sade2009.com is an official site. Last heard on 2000's Lovers Rock, Sade is notoriously patient with her music – prompting even Prince to recently say he was "[getting] sick of waiting for Sade to make a new album".

According to the new – and still unauthenticated – artist site, "[Sade] does not make albums for the money, Sade is an artist who creates music purely on inspiration. Hence why we've waited nearly a decade for another release, like a poet with a nine-year year dry spell until she fell in love again, Sade will bless us with another classic. In occasionally incorrect English, the site promises a new album on 25 November, even if its songs will "[reveal] little about [Sade's] closely shielded private life".

Apart from these reports, the most recent word on Sade's recordings is from R&B singer Maxwell, who wrote in March. "Sade is on her way [with a new album] and trust me, it's so monolithic it'll shake you in your shoes!" he posted on his Facebook fan page. Whenever Sade's new album arrives, we hope it's sexier than the word "monolithic" would suggest.
