1* ColbertBump: Starting from 2019, Sade experienced a resurgence in popularity thanks to UsefulNotes/FormulaOne driver Carlos Sainz Jr.'s habit of singing "Smooth Operator" during races.
2* DevelopmentHell:
3** Subverted. The gaps between albums get longer with each new release, but Sade has gone on record saying that they will only record when they feel they have something to say. Only one year (2009) out of the ten between ''Lovers Rock'' (2000) and ''Soldier of Love'' (2010) was used for recording the latter.
4** This is a common trend among SophistiPop bands (Simply Red aside). Music/TheBlueNile can take a long as 8 years to record an album. Though BN's difference is the fact that their gaps are spent with studio arguments, experimentation, scrapping, rewriting, and taking forever to produce a work.
5* ReclusiveArtist: Sade Adu keeps her entire personal life separate from her celebrity. She apparently took care of aging family members and had her house rebuilt after it burnt down between the releases of ''Love Deluxe'' and ''Lovers Rock''.
