An arena doesnt look like the better place for a Sade concert.
The Nigerian-born singer, best known for her rival with slinky pop ballads such as Smooth Operator and Sweetest Taboo is best suited to a smoky lounge, where the songs could go down as easily as bourbon over ice.
Yet Sade did her better to reduce the palatial Amway Center on Sunday, where she headlined a card with neo-soul man John Legend, whose energetic style is more arena-sized.
After a 9 year hiatus, Sade, the illustrious one-name neo-soul Jazzsinger, on February 9, 2010 released her new CD, Soldier of Love. WhileSade has said that she wants to ever try something different, this newCD is really last in manner and subject to her prior release, Lover`s Rock.
Themajority of songs on Soldier of Love continue to eke out all the painfrom Sade`s main themes, which are frequently about love found with sorrow,and love lost with yet greater sorrow.
