It's been 40 years since Sade Adu burst onto the British music scene with her band, simply known as Sade.
In 1984 they released their debut album Diamond Life and have gone on to release five more.
RNZ producer Sam Hollis is with Jesse to talk about the musical talents of Sade and play some of his favourites from the catalogue.
