[Premiere] Along With New EP ‘Jerk Sauce’, Sade Serena Releases Single ‘Stray’

Following her sassy, reggae-tinged singles “Daylight” and “Dum,” versatile singer-songwriter Sade Serena drops her new EP Jerk Sauce today, along with this tune, “Stray.”

Unlike her previous two releases, Seena ditches the reggae and pursues a more traditional R&B sound on “Stray.” On the song, Sade aches for a real relationship and blames Cupid for his bad aim, always getting caught in the crossfire of love.

“I tried my best just to stay out the way / But Cupid keeps shooting I’m stuck in his aim / Bang bang bang bang, another bullet that wasn’t meant for me / …I got caught with a stray,” she sings in the chorus.

The BET Music Matters artist is affectionately known for her debut EP GermiNation that charted on 2 Billboard charts in 2014. Her newest effort Jerk Sauce is a fusion of her Caribbean heritage, Pop, and R&B. Sade teamed up with the Grammy award-winning reggae producer J-Vibe ( Jason Farmer) who has produced multi- platinum hits for artist Keisha Cole, Chris Brown, Estelle, and more.

In other news, Sade Serena is also teaming up with Shaggy aka ( Mr. Boombastic) to release a remix to the single “Dum” set to arrive in April. She is also preparing to hit the road on an 18-city Tour with Teyana Taylor this Spring.
