Dj David Craig about Sade After Party in Abu Dhabi

"... Here’s the most recent tribute to Sade. www.mixcrate.com/djdavidcraig

I’m still elated after one of the best weekends of music I can remember in a long time. I was actually bouncing off the walls with excitement about seeing Sade live in Abu Dhabi. I’ve waited a lifetime to see her in perform. After such expectation there’s always a fear of disappointment. I’m always hesitant to meet people I admire. Fortunately in this case I left overwhelmed. There was a real magic in everything she did, every move and gesture had me captivated from start to finish. I didn’t want it to end. Well done to Flash for another great booking. After the show I opted for not meeting her preferring my illusion to the reality of her just being a normal person with the voice of an angel. I’m glad I didn’t break the spell.

Thanks to everyone who came down to the Soulful Sessions Sade after party at Yas Hotel. As strange as it sounds the nights where you get the opportunity to just play a straight up self indulgent soulful set and have people appreciate it are few and far between these days. It was a great ending to just the perfect day. (Besides Schooly waking me up at five thirty trying to find his hotel room)..."

You should have met her, no doubts. It would only help understand the person she is, as she doesn´t like to be seen as an untouchable celebrity.
If only I could talk to her for a few minutes and say how much her and the band did for me with their music, and what happens to me when I listen to them...

I agree with you thesweetestgift, If I had the opportunity to meet Sade, I would be very very happy ! I do not expect her to be perfect, just share a moment with someone very talented.Those people does not run the streets ! (french expression)

Soldier of Sade: it doesn't sound like she did...but it's not really clear

Just wonder - has Sade take a part in this after party or has not? It isn't clear in his story...

I understand what he means by not wanting to break the illusion but I think I'd still love to meet Sade one day...if only to tell her how much her music has meant to me for so long
