Just like on the debut album, the music represented gentle, restrained and profound soul and jazz riffs. Most of the year 1985 Sade toured with concerts, simultaneously working on the new material called Promise, which saw light in the year’s end.

The great popularity was brought by the single Smooth Operator, nominated for MTV Video Music Awards in two categories – Best Female Video and Best New Artist. In 1984 Sade released their first single Your Love Is King, followed by the debut album called Diamond Life in a couple of months, which climbed to #2 position in charts and later attained multi-platinum status. The newly-made band attracted more and more attention of the press, leaving Pride in the shadows, what eventually led to final partitioning of the two teams. In 1982 the musicians were allowed to support Pride at the concert, and in May 1983 they did their own performance in the USA. Then together with the saxophonist Stuart Mathewman several tracks were written for their side project bearing the name of its front woman and vocalist – Sade.

Being a back-vocalist, the girl soon developed her own style, and at the suggestion of the manager she and some other band members wrote a set of songs to perform at Pride’s concerts between the sets. This position was given to Helen Folasade Adu, born in Nigeria, whose father was Nigerian and mother was British. Its history began in 1976 in London, when the popular funk and Latin soul band Pride needed a new female back-vocalist. Sade is the world-known British R&B group that formed in England in 1983.
