The live version of this song by Sade with the extended ending is...there are no words. I wish the album version encapsulated the horn and her singing. Oh. I do love this song.
I think Sade is an incredibly difficult artist to cover because her unique tone really carries her songs combined with the drama in her vocal but I think this is a wonderful cover!
As most of you know, Sade is an untouchable force when it comes to the beauty and meaning in all her music. You cannot replicate her nor compare her to anyone. Whoever covers Sade in any form of sound must have a sense of originality and respect for the true definition of art in Sade's musical platform. You did Sade proud, Kelela❤. Thank you. #bravo 👏
Honestly, I'm a Sade fan and I've heard this song before, but I never *listened* to it. I never realized that it was about PTSD until I heard this version. The sparseness of the piano and Kelela's voice brings out the loneliness and struggle of this story in ways that the original doesn't.
exactlyyyy . she did the song such justice. i’ve never felt so moved by a sade cover, she has a very difficult voice to replicate & sade’s songs normally fall flat when others sing them, but kelela rlly outdid herself❤️
Absolutely hit this out of the park! The pianist did a beautiful job of spinning his smooth interpretation of this rather intricate song. Outstanding performance!
So I can spot an East African from a mile away and of course I HAD to check out who this check was using the oh so familiar "fidal" on my spotify notification. I'm pleasantly surprised this chick is amazing. I love Sade so I'll be tuning in to this girls new album for sure. I came her to checkin and check out who this woman is and now I know.
I liked this song from the first moment that I heard it, but my appreciation has only deepened having learned that the song is about a soldier’s life long struggle with the horrors of war during younger years. A Sade classic.
Ok I’ve been listening to a bunch of sade covers cuz I just love her. And yours is my favorite!!!! Incredible soft and ethereal voice. And this song gives me goosebumps .
He told me sweet lies of sweet loves Heavy with the burden of the truth And he spoke of his dreams Broken by the burden Broken by the burden of his youth Fourteen years he said I couldn't look into the sun She saw him laying at the end of my gun Hungry for life And thirsty for the distant river I remember his hands And the way the mountains looked The light shot diamonds from his eyes Hungry for life And thirsty for the distant river Like the scar of age Written all over my face The war is still raging inside of me I still feel the chill As I reveal my shame to you I wear it like a tattoo I wear it like a tattoo I wear it like a tattoo
Yeah Yeah Oh Yeah (: Sade is Sooooooooo Smiling at you girl (: Originality is something people or artist should always strive for and you definately have it (:. Awesomeness (:
I was looking for Sade and this song and after letting several tracks play yours came up. You are not my Sade and this song sounds better with acoustic guitar and that can't be replace.....but I still like this cover. Peace to you and keep moving forward.
ouve as músicas dela por favor, ela é perfeita e merece mais reconhecimento. O clipe de “Enough for love” foi gravado no Brasil, é um bom start pra conhecer o trabalho dela
Não há duas pessoas em que penso desde que a ouvi pela primeira vez. Parece um sonho imaginá-lo ao piano...como se eu tivesse ali presente sem que ele me visse. Poder perceber a delicadeza do seu toque sobre as teclas e imaginar que é sobre a minha pele... (((
this is the best song of Love Delux.... and this lady does a real version of the song. Sade should put out a cd of her under rated songs, filler and b-sides. I would buy it
Her tone is so siren-like and beautiful
A siren is the perfect way to describe her voice
Voice of Ethiopia singing the song of Nigeria’s legend...
This is one of Sade most underrated songs imo and Kelela BLEW IT OUT THE WATER! Phenomenal as usual! Take Me Apart girl Take Me Apart!
The live version of this song by Sade with the extended ending is...there are no words. I wish the album version encapsulated the horn and her singing. Oh. I do love this song.
YES
For real!
I think Sade is an incredibly difficult artist to cover because her unique tone really carries her songs combined with the drama in her vocal but I think this is a wonderful cover!
Was about to comment this… I’ve seen other covers and it just doesn’t hit but Kelela crushed this one. Amazing cover. I love the reverb on the vocals.
Her mic technique at the end was just genius. Chills.
At the end where she kinda backs off the mic each time she sings "like a tattoo" and creates that fade effect -- playing with the reverb. So good.
I hear it too. You are right.

Tevin T wasn't sure where you was going with your comment, but you nailed it.
Tevin T very well said and true!
Totally agree! She nailed it completely and yet with a fresh touch, not just "copying" the tune.
Tevin T yes
Right!
She did it very well. With a good sense of Sade work
Sade is proud wherever she at
this is probably the best cover I've heard in a long time

I'm crying, this song is so touching and it doesn't help that Kelela has such an amazing unique voice.
This is my all time favorite song by Shade and Kelela took it to another place
exactly. I'm elevated right now.
I always come back to listen to this. She did such an amazing job 🥺
me too
Literally my favorite Sade song. Beautiful
I had the chills for 3 minutes
Just bought 'Take Me Apart' TODAY!!! I can't get enough! In fact, I'm on a serious Kelela binge!
velvet buttery vocals blanketing my eardrums.
Absolutely hit this out of the park! The pianist did a beautiful job of spinning his smooth interpretation of this rather intricate song. Outstanding performance!
The best Sade cover for this selected song.
Tears of happiness watching this. So incredibly beautiful
If you close your eyes and listen...you can see the sound waves her voice creates!! Pure angelic ✨
Lol it's the echo effect they put on the mic
i love her and love the fact that she has such great taste in music as well
Two of my favorite singers Sade and Kelela
the echo on the mic is so lovely.... I feel as though I have ascended!
kelela & sade are so underrated
Lisa Turtle
KELELA, ok.
SADE...😐🤔🙃 ???
Elle chante depuis 1984 !
Are you 12?
Sade underrated? By whom?? 😂😂😂
Underrated you tripping love.
Sade is larger than life, and everybody knows that for over 30 years.
She's magnificent.
Love this composition. Love how her voice leads the piano no matter if it starts first
Amazing. Great rendition of this song.
beautiful vocals , big props to my man on the piano. Just beautiful.
So I can spot an East African from a mile away and of course I HAD to check out who this check was using the oh so familiar "fidal" on my spotify notification.

Just an extraordinary version. ❤❤
Wonderful voice and choice of song 😎👍💗
Maybe the best Sade cover anyone has ever tried.
She should cover Pearls or No Ordinary Love next
Seeing Kelela sing Pearls would be incredible
Pearls would be amazing, chills
They cleaned my ears and washed my soul
I got CHILLS! This is one of my favorite sade songs and kalela slays it
Absolutely Exquisite. And what a treat to hear Kelela slaying one of my favorite Sade songs. Not just anybody can touch Sade’s music. Big up. 🙏🏾✨💛
One of the most Iconic of our generation!!
perfect texture
Love her voice
It’s outstanding
The growth of your low notes, sis, is spinning me
I'm floating this cover is sooooo beautiful
I liked this song from the first moment that I heard it, but my appreciation has only deepened having learned that the song is about a soldier’s life long struggle with the horrors of war during younger years. A Sade classic.

Radiant! This was much needed 💘 thank you, Kelela
Sade Adu is my favorite songer/songwriter. You did an amazing job! I love it!! 💚

That was a heartfelt version, nice.
Awesome job, Sade would be pleased.👍👍👍👍
If this woman only knew that I love her with my soul😻
He told me sweet lies of sweet loves
Heavy with the burden of the truth
And he spoke of his dreams
Broken by the burden
Broken by the burden of his youth
Fourteen years he said
I couldn't look into the sun
She saw him laying at the end of my gun
Hungry for life
And thirsty for the distant river
I remember his hands
And the way the mountains looked
The light shot diamonds from his eyes
Hungry for life
And thirsty for the distant river
Like the scar of age
Written all over my face
The war is still raging inside of me
I still feel the chill
As I reveal my shame to you
I wear it like a tattoo
I wear it like a tattoo
I wear it like a tattoo
Kelela slays 😌👌🏼❤️
shes so talented and amazing
Yeah Yeah Oh Yeah (: Sade is Sooooooooo Smiling at you girl (: Originality is something people or artist should always strive for and you definately have it (:. Awesomeness (:
Angelic voice...
I love her so much.
This was intense in the most beautiful chilling way…
This deserves a lot more views!
I LOVE HER.
Definitely gives different feel, but just as beautiful.
stunning.
Beautifully done,difference is Sade no effects,nobody in earth can replicate her beautiful soulful voice,hey you still done a great job👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I was looking for Sade and this song and after letting several tracks play yours came up. You are not my Sade and this song sounds better with acoustic guitar and that can't be replace.....but I still like this cover. Peace to you and keep moving forward.
Farout she absolutely killed it 🔥
Would be nice to get a CDQ version of this cover, I keep on coming back to this video
This is so pretty wow 😯
Gente!! Que voz deliciosa..amei..❤😊
ouve as músicas dela por favor, ela é perfeita e merece mais reconhecimento. O clipe de “Enough for love” foi gravado no Brasil, é um bom start pra conhecer o trabalho dela
Simplesmente perfeito!💎
Had the chance to see her in my city ( Lisbon) it was "too good to be true"!!!
I love her even more.
Não há duas pessoas em que penso desde que a ouvi pela primeira vez. Parece um sonho imaginá-lo ao piano...como se eu tivesse ali presente sem que ele me visse. Poder perceber a delicadeza do seu toque sobre as teclas e imaginar que é sobre a minha pele... (((
Honestly need the "I wear it like tattoo" on loop
Damn she nailed that!!!
1:40 so good
INCREDIBLE!!!
this is incredible
So amazing kelela
this is the best song of Love Delux.... and this lady does a real version of the song. Sade should put out a cd of her under rated songs, filler and b-sides. I would buy it
She should do a collab w such robert glasper
So beautiful, your voice is beautiful….
Beautiful voice and person
Pure artistic GENIUS
I love it❤
SHOOK! I hate covers, especially bad ones, but this was ALMOST better than the original ✨💫
Omg, Kelela covering Sade??? 😍
Perfect.
Gorgeous
