News has broken that “Andrew Hale, BAFTA and Grammy Award-winning composer, songwriter, producer and keyboard player with the band Sade, has outfitted his private Owlspace Studio in northwest London with a Harrison 32Classic 32-channel analog mixing console., according to Music Connection.
Stereogum also noted that last year, Sudan Archives returned with her latest record The BPM, which we named one of the best albums of 2025. Now, Brittney Parks is back with a cover of Sade’s 1992 song “Cherish The Day” for SiriusXMU.
What This Means Locally
While Sade herself hasn’t announced new tour dates for the Los Angeles area recently, her smooth R&B sound remains a staple on KCRW playlists, and artists like Sudan Archives, who recently covered “Cherish The Day,” often draw inspiration from her iconic style. The enduring popularity of jazz and R&B in the region ensures Sade’s music continues to resonate with local audiences.
