Sade—“By Your Side”

This week’s episode is all about comfort. It’s about being remembered, and what better person to commemorate that feeling with than the person whose music doesn’t seem to age—Sade. Sade came out with “By Your Side” after disappearing with no explanation for eight years because she felt that was best for her. That quiet confidence lends itself to making some of the, in Rob’s words, horniest music imaginable, and the world is better for it. Finally, he is joined by Danyel Smith, who explains how Sade laid the groundwork for artists like Rihanna to be the ultimate cool girl and how younger generations are still discovering Sade.
