Sade: The Live Experience

Smooth Operator, No Ordinary Love and Your Love Is King, played live by eight musicians. Sade: The Live Experience recreates the concert sound of Sade from Diamond Life through to Lovers Rock. Shikye-Alyce Smith sings lead, backed by the Spicy Margaritas Band. The show follows the catalogue from the 1984 debut through 90s songs like Kiss of Life and Like a Tattoo and on to the later releases, blending jazz, soul and R&B the way the records did. There's room for dancing and plenty of singing along. It suits a crowd that already knows the songs and wants to hear them done properly, and the show travels Australia-wide.
