In The Groove: Sade releases new solo single, “Young Lion,” plus new music from Laura Marling, Rosie Lowe
Ryan Patrick Hooper October 25, 2024Listen to “In the Groove” with Ryan Patrick Hooper weekdays from noon-3 p.m. ET on 101.9 WDET.
I’ll take any excuse to play Sade Adu.
When she releases her first solo track in nearly seven years, you get a damn near 30-minute mixtape of Sade mixing solo stuff, edits, remixes and more. You can see all of that below.
New music from Sade is courtesy of Red Hot Organization, who have spent years using music and culture to draw attention to a variety of causes including AIDS awareness. On a massive new compilation called Transa, they are focused on a “spiritual journey celebrating trans people.” Sade’s contribution is “Young Lion,” which is dedicated to her son, Izaak, a trans man.
The compilation, out Nov. 22, also features Fleet Foxes, Yaeji, Perfume Genius, L’Rain, Adrianne Lenker, Sam Smith, Beverly Glenn-Copeland, and Clairo, among many others.
Check the playlist below and listen to the episode for two weeks after it airs using the player above.
