Since their inception in 1982, they have crafted memorable tracks like "Smooth Operator," "The Sweetest Taboo," "No Ordinary Love," and "Please Send Me Someone to Love." Sade's sound is characterized by lush instrumentation and understated elegance, eschewing the typical drum-heavy arrangements since 1986, opting instead for the talents of session musicians.
