Overview Of Sade’s Latest Album
Sade’s latest album, ‘Lovers Rock’ is her first studio release in almost eight years. As anticipated, the record debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart and has become a fan favorite amongst new and old fans alike. This marks Sade’s sixth consecutive chart-topping debut since she released her debut album ‘Diamond Life’ back in 1984.
The lead single from Lovers Rock, ‘Flower of the Universe’, was featured in Disney’s live action remake of ‘Aladdin’. It was also used as an official theme song for ESPN’s coverage of the 2019 NBA finals. The song set off a chain reaction that caused the rest of the album to be highly successful too; it peaked at number 15 on Billboard Hot 100 and remained there for five weeks straight – quite impressive for a veteran artist such as Sade!
This isn’t just any regular comeback either. Lovers Rock has been met with critical acclaim from music critics everywhere who noted its innovative blend of smooth jazz, soulful R&B and even reggae influences throughout many tracks on the album. With this monumental success, Sade sets herself up perfectly for yet another potential hit when Jaheim’s upcoming single ‘Round’ releases later this year.
Jaheim’s Upcoming Single
As Sade’s Lovers Rock continues to reign atop the charts, fans will soon be able to enjoy another set of smooth vibes from R&B singer Jaheim. His upcoming single ‘Round’ is expected to release later this year and could potentially skyrocket up the chart like its predecessor. The song has been described as a soulful blend of classic R&B mixed with modern hip-hop elements, sure to please listeners of all ages.
The track itself was produced by Grammy Award winning producer DJ Toomp who also worked on several songs off Lovers Rock including “The Big Unknown” and “Love Is Stronger Than Pride”. He recently spoke about his experience working on both projects saying that, “It’s a great feeling to see two artists I admire so much have such success in their respective music fields.”
Jaheim seems primed for yet another potential hit single with ‘Round’. With the help of highly acclaimed producers, it looks likely that he’ll follow in Sade’s footsteps and debut at number one – continuing the trend of incredible artistry coming out of the world of R&B music today.
## Conclusion
I’m really excited to see how Sade and Jaheim’s music will fare on the charts. It looks like it could be a competition between two of the most popular artists in R&B.
Sade is back with an album that has been highly anticipated by fans, and I think she’ll have no problem claiming the top spot. She’s already released one single that has made its way up the charts, so it wouldn’t surprise me if her entire project debuts at number one.
Jaheim is also getting ready to release his new single, ‘Round’, which promises to be another hit for him. He’s had some great success over the past few years and this song could easily follow suit. If he manages to make a strong debut on the chart, then we might just have ourselves a real battle at the top!
It should be interesting to keep track of both artists as their new material becomes available. No matter who ends up topping the charts first, I’m sure both releases are going to make waves in the music industry!
