Baker's Dozen

Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

6. SadeLovers Rock

It’s the song ‘The Sweetest Gift’. I remember being a kid and I heard that song. The control Sade has, the mastery over her many gifts, it’s so striking. I remember feeling so touched as a child by this music. I didn’t understand why I loved this song, and I would listen to it over and over again. I thought it was beautiful and I still do. There were a few songs like that for me but this song I spent a lot of time with. I’ve heard really beautiful things about Sade and it’s something that feels really touching, and I thought I would include this album because of this song.
