subject: Sade Refuses Collabo Request from Rap Legend Jay-Z! She's a Soldier of her Music first… [print this page] The legendary female singer Sade recently refused a Jay-Z collaboration request. She justifies her choice by principles, she loves her musical universe and is not interested in stepping outside.
Its seems that Sade is almost unapproachable, especially when it comes to collaboration with other artists, as she indeed just turned down a Jay-Z collaboration request. The smooth operator hit maker is very protective of her music. She actually admitted being reluctant to feature with other singers and doesn't like to work outside of her zone. In the meantime she also rarely allowed rappers to sample her voice but put her guard down in an extremely rare case with Nas and Raekwon. The Big boss of Def Jam, Jay-Z, was disappointed but he wasn't the first to try and fail.
Let's remember the Drake's episode: in February, the Hip Hop artist pursued a possible duet with his music idol, Sade. He thought it would have been a collaboration of musical genius. Sade, however, didn't see it that way, and politely snubbed the Young Money MC. A quite bitter pill to swallow, when he was already seeing himself hitting the studio with the songstress and possibly bringing her into the hip hop world. While she has admitted to sampling other artists herself, she refuses to be in a situation where she would have to attract a new set of fanshe already has all the loyal following that she could ever need. So she's choosing a sort of security in her musical comfort zone, rather than jeopardizing her style, admired for more than two decades now. Well, we figured it out : collaborating is one of "her sweetest taboos".
After the platinum selling success "Soldier of Love", achieved in February , she finally announces a return to the stage and disclosed her first global tour in 10 years. For those who want to attend this event, don't be the last to get your tickets to this once in a decade event as its sure to sell out many months in advance of the actual tour even beginning.
