1

2
because we're going to be chilling with her
3
and it's a pleasure all right now i mean you know
4
the good thing is um you know listen to your uh
5
new record uh lovers rock it's like the beauty of it
6
is it's like it's like you haven't gone anywhere it's like
7
there hasn't been a a missed note a missed beat it's
8
just it's just like bang you've like you've fallen right into
9
place we're going to talk about the new record in a second
10
but let's let's actually head back and uh and like the early 80s and you're with the group pride
11
uh featuring the three cats stuart matthewman uh andrew uh hale
12
and uh paul spencer uh and um and then you moved on
13
and uh you created each other did you ever think
14
that lyrically and musically you would you would hit and touch
15
so many people no i mean it was a surprise you
16
know at the time i just sort of accepted it you know
17
when it was happening and we because I had no choice than to accept it
18
because it was just going on and then when I reflected
19
and had time to look back you know I was amazed really at what had happened
20
what was
21
that time like for you you guys as a group you
22
know just doing what you did I mean you're doing something
23
you think yeah this is cool sounds great looks good well I think particularly me
24
because you know I was fronting the band it you know things changed quite a lot
25
but we were doing so much and it was
26
so relentless the amount of stuff that we were doing
27
that like I said we didn't really know what was going on
28
and it was only later that we thought you know look what's happened
29
and look how things have changed but I think
30
because we're a band it made it easier
31
if it'd been me on my own I think I may well have called it a day way back then
32
and you know carried on loving music but from afar and
33
but because they were there it was something
34
that was kind of shared there you know
35
and they were they always encouraged me
36
and said you know you have to just keep on you know doesn't matter how much it changes around you
37
and people's perception of you changes
38
or they are the same person suddenly the perception is
39
that you are a a different person and um but after a
40
while you know i i grew to be used to it
41
and just fortunately you know for me now i you know
42
we carried on the beauty of your music is the fact
43
that you touch
44
so many different uh people um hip hoppers are into i
45
mean i i can name a whole bunch of hip hop
46
records where shoddy's definitely been getting some love um you know
47
you have you know people you know parents are feeling your
48
music um how do your fans relate to you like i went you know
49
when they when they meet you do they you know do they they pour out their hearts to you
50
and tell you yeah it's really i i do um
51
that sounds a bit corny but i feel a lot of love i really do
52
because you're giving love um yeah and i don't know it's
53
so nice when you feel it like when you you realize
54
that it's simple you know it's simple you you make a record
55
and people like it or they don't like it and
56
if they do and they feel something from it they they tell you
57
and it's really nice on that level it's really simple
58
and basic and it's nice to get
59
that back yeah i mean even for myself i mean it's
60
it's it's taken me through i mean there's countless times i put your music on
61
and it's taking me to so many different places and yeah
62
so done done so much for me and uh and uh that's
63
that must be like you said must be a really gratifying feeling for you to actually feel
64
that love yeah yeah it is it really is yeah we know what we're gonna do we're gonna head back
65
and we're We're going to check out from the Diamond Life CD.
66
We're going to check out Smooth Operator because we're chilling with Sade.
67
We'll be back.
68
And we're back here chilling with Sade.
69
And after the success of Diamond Life and Promise,
70
you decided to take a three-year break, a three-year hiatus.
71
And I guess the one thing is, I mean, so many things surrounded that, you know, you heard rumors here.
72
And one thing you really managed to maintain was your privacy.
73
And being such a public figure, I always wondered how you managed to really maintain that.
74
Well, I just went back to my life each time and kind of pretended nothing had happened.
75
And in my world, you know, my friends and the people in my life, I'm the same.
76
You know, I go back and I come back off the road or whatever, and it's Shade, you know, just as she was before.
77
probably tired and thin.
78
Nevertheless, you know, recognizably the same person.
79
And so, because I live my life, you know, pretty much as I always have, then I can, I avoid,
80
you know, the sort of celebrity places
81
and you know I avoid the places where I'm I'm gonna be known
82
and expected to be and just live my life
83
and you know that's how I manage really to maintain certain
84
amount of privacy in I think a lot of artists would like to do the same thing I mean
85
because I think obviously being in the industry it is such
86
a machine it's it's album promotion yeah it kind of eats
87
you up you can eat you up really I think I think it can eat you up
88
and I think it can you can easily get to the point where you don't know where you are
89
or what you're doing or why you're doing it and if
90
that happens and you you have to step back
91
because you've got nothing to lose because you're gonna lose yourself anyway
92
and and lose your commitment anyway so it's best just to step back even if there's a chance that you know
93
You know try again, and it won't work
94
because in the end you it's not going to work for you as a person
95
and You know it's hard It's hard to make a choice like that because you
96
But in the end you really don't you can't lose out
97
if you do it your way and play it your way
98
Because if you do lose at least you lose at your game rather than losing it Somebody else's game.
99
You know so at this point what are the record executives doing like when you're taking that They gave up.
100
Yeah.
101
Yeah.
102
And it's like, you know, you can't push somebody to do something if they feel they can't do it at that moment.
103
And I think that they just, I think they're amazed even now, you know, I think they can't really believe that there is a record there now,
104
you know, that they're amazed that we did it.
105
Right.
106
and then in 88 you definitely hit his uh uh with the uh uh stronger than pride
107
and with that was the first time
108
that north america really got to see you uh live
109
and touring and what was
110
that experience for you actually to take the music you know
111
to the people it was hard for me i think uh
112
it's become easier performing uh i felt pressured i felt out of my depth um and And recently,
113
you know, as time's gone by, for instance, the last two, I felt comfortable.
114
I felt I could express myself and actually enjoy it
115
and give something out and get something back and just that whole vibe.
116
But before, I felt, you know, I wasn't really ready to be in such a, be so exposed.
117
So it took some time for me to feel comfortable as a performer.
118
With that record, you worked with a really great vocalist, Leroy Osborne.
119
Yeah, Leroy.
120
That brother can sing.
121
Yeah, he sings like a bird.
122
Your voices complement each other so well.
123
How did you guys actually hook up?
124
The first time I saw Leroy singing was, I saw him one time at Ronnie Scott's performing.
125
It's a jazz club in London and then I worked on this project.
126
I wrote a song with somebody called Simon Booth from Working Week for a film called Absolute Beginners, and I performed the song in the film,
127
and he performed a song for that film as well, and when we went down to the studio to lay down the track, our backing tracks, each person,
128
you know, he was there, and, you know, I remembered him from, you know, seeing him performing, and so that was my first introduction really to Leroy.
129
And I just loved his voice and we said we've got to have Leroy, you know, and he's for me, he's like a touchstone.
130
When we're in the studio, he's always sort of honest with me and he's a good friend, you know, and for me I have to work with
131
that vibration otherwise I can't do it, you know know
132
and uh yeah it's great working with him all right you
133
know we're gonna drop a couple videos nothing can come between us sorry
134
so go ahead leroy's in um feel no pain he's in
135
that video yeah all right we're gonna jump those
136
and come back hanging out with uh sharday we'll be back all right
137
so we're back here and uh we're chilling still chilling with uh sharday
138
and um now in uh i guess 92 um you put out another great cd
139
which was on love uh love deluxe
140
and um i mean at this point in your career um
141
i mean how do you believe how do you think you've had so much insight
142
with love and and sharing love and expressing love and giving love and um
143
just suppose the way i live my life and the way i am i'm quite emotional you know and um
144
when i go in the studio and when
145
when we're writing songs i always sort of put myself in a
146
and channel myself into this sort of state where it's all about emotions you know
147
and and then stuff just comes out
148
because I really you know go to the place you know to make it happen and uh...
149
Is that exhausting?
150
I mean do you come out of it?
151
Do you really feel...
152
Yeah it's energizing as well there's sort of there's two aspects of one it's like pulling you down
153
and the other is lifting you up
154
so you end up there on the level in the end yeah
155
but i think that's that's ultimately what i think you know
156
because as i sit here as an interviewer i'm also a big fan
157
so i think that's one of the things
158
that you definitely i i definitely feel like these there's times where i mean
159
when i put on your new record i had like a shitty day it's like i put it on
160
but it was like you know what i put it on
161
the day was done it was like it just just took
162
me where i wanted to take it oh thanks you know it's beautiful um
163
but then you you hit another tour the second tour um
164
and as you said that that was uh uh seemed a little bit better for you that yeah
165
because i think you know i've learned a lot and um changed
166
and developed my voice had become stronger and i wasn't
167
so afraid i wasn't so afraid of looking like a fool either
168
because i think you have to overcome that
169
that fear of like falling down you know that thing of tripping up
170
when you walk in a room it's a bit like that
171
when you go on stage you imagine it and then maybe you will You know, it's just to, you know, just feel good about it and feel that, you know, you're doing your best.
172
And if people come to see you, they don't want to see you fail.
173
Anyway, they're on your side.
174
They want the best out of you.
175
And so you are on one hand, you're under pressure to fulfill that commitment.
176
But on the other hand, you have to take from that and know that it's something good you're getting.
177
And then in the end, you become better.
178
Sade and the new CD is Lover's Rock
179
and I mean obviously you know people have talked about you know the absence
180
and the first thing I mentioned was the fact
181
that it doesn't feel like there's anything musically gone you know from you I mean it's all there
182
but what was what was that time like for you I mean you know
183
when you when you're looking at music and hearing music
184
and then bang you have to come out
185
and yeah put your on you know come back out again yeah what was
186
that period like for you well um um
187
when i'm in the studio i disconnect myself really from other music
188
and i think about people who i'd like to love what you know the great people who
189
when i'm when i'm in the studio sometimes uh we joke
190
and and i say to paula
191
or one of them you know would uh would marvin like
192
that you know would bob like that with dolly like
193
that you know whoever you know
194
and um it's like yeah i think dolly would like that
195
or marvin or you know whoever uh who there's great people you know
196
and um so but but apart from
197
that you know i really um disconnect with with reality in a way
198
and um and because of that i think
199
that we can get on with what we do rather than you know start panicking because you you know,
200
if we were to make a record like we make and think about is it going to be a commercial success, then we'll probably not make the record,
201
we wouldn't make those records, you know.
202
So not think about it and then worry about that after is the way we go, you know.
203
You've got some beautiful tracks on here, I mean, the Serita's Gift, I mean, it's beautiful.
204
And there's a lot of great, great songs.
205
When you actually came down to lyrically put this together, I mean, what was your mind state and what was really important for you to kind of get out?
206
Yeah, really more, I think, about this album.
207
I wanted it to be a positive thing and I wanted every song to have some kind of positive message.
208
That was the only thing.
209
It was like, in a way, I think it's more of a positive album in a way than the other albums we've made.
210
I wanted it to have a purpose.
211
I was only sure that I wanted it to have a good purpose.
212
I wasn't sure exactly what the purpose was, but I wanted each song to have some kind of strength
213
and something positive in it you know perhaps
214
because it's taken it had taken such a long time
215
and it was an important thing for me to do as
216
well I was away from my daughter you know at the time
217
and it to me it had to be good to in
218
some way justify the at my absences from her I have to have a good reason yeah she's four yeah Yeah, my son's three.
219
It's that time.
220
It's all about me.
221
But it's a good time though.
222
It's a good time.
223
I mean, as much as they learn from you, you ultimately learn from them.
224
Yeah, I like her because, I mean, all children, I love it when they can speak
225
and express themselves and become people it's a great moment alright
226
so you know what you know I check out the new new video by your side
227
and you like doing videos yeah yeah I do now yeah yeah some time yeah yeah
228
but you've done some you've done some great you've done some
229
great videos over the time yeah I was very early on you know it's very sort of stiff
230
if you notice in your love is king somebody like a
231
rod up my back you know in time I kind of relaxed
232
and try to enjoy as much as possible in it all
233
right all right we're gonna check out by your side
234
and the lovers rock CD brand new CD from shawd
235
and we're gonna be back show with her right after this
236
so we're back here
237
and still with shouting still hanging out still chilling out it's
238
been a what's been a great hour I'm having a good
239
time I don't care anybody else ever heard of it now without
240
that whole time there um you know uh paul
241
and andrew stewart you know they put out sweet back
242
and um now did you ever get like a little twitch
243
like going you know what no i was glad you know i was glad
244
that they they were involved in a project
245
that um kept them off my back
246
and said i was ready you know yeah now i was glad um
247
that they were doing what they wanted in a way it was a relief to me
248
because i i thought you know i wasn't ready at the
249
time i was doing you know those things going on in my life
250
that i was dealing with and i wasn't ready to devote myself to an album um
251
and uh so i it was quite a relief for me really yeah actually at
252
that time i actually interviewed them
253
and uh you know it's like okay you know i love
254
your album when's the shot album coming when's it dropping
255
and they were just saying like i mean it's like when
256
when you're ready and the time is right and uh
257
but you know i think the beauty of having those guys around you
258
and I don't I don't necessarily know this I'm not
259
so speaking for you but I don't necessarily know whether you could work with anyone else just
260
because of the fact
261
that you have such a strong bond yeah I mean you
262
guys just aren't you know a bunch of cats to get together you have a real strong relationship
263
and friendship yeah and also we feel so comfortable I feel comfortably in
264
that environment I don't feel at all self-conscious I could be as liberated as I want
265
and go anywhere I want and you know that
266
that for me is great
267
because that's how I can develop by completely being you know
268
on self-conscious now with with your voice do you realize what
269
your voice has done to I guess 40 million people have you realize I mean the emotions
270
that you know that it touches and I mean I mean your voice
271
and you walk around with it You sing with them, you know, but you realize, I mean, how hard to capture emotion.
272
I don't really think of it like that, you know, it's weird, you know, how it is as long as you hear your own voice sometimes.
273
On the answer machine or whatever, you know, no. But mostly I think it's natural,
274
you know, it's not contrived.
275
That's what I like about what we do it's not it's unpretentious it's not clever
276
and it's from the heart
277
that I know yeah for further the lovers out there I
278
mean do you have is there a shoddy message I mean I know it comes from your music
279
but is there because I mean we all fall in love we all fall out alone yeah I mean yeah
280
no it's just that I know that life's a struggle you know
281
and always be a struggle but
282
when you least expect it there's always some special great thing
283
waiting around the corner that's how I get through wine you know with
284
that optimism and to have the good thoughts
285
and usually good things will happen eventually you know even
286
if it's a struggle but that's kind of my little philosophy in life
287
and whatever disasters before you
288
and whatever comes your way you can always progress from those moments
289
and learn something and develop and then you get a kind of reward
290
because you move on and you grow and
291
so I'm like the eternal optimist with this album you know
292
we'll be blessed to go have another tour yeah hopefully yeah
293
we're gonna tour in springtime yeah we have one more video
294
and I was gonna leave this video up to you
295
and you can pick anything I mean if there's any artist anything
296
that you want to see uh we play this uh this would be shardy's pick
297
i guess um recently i liked uh for which because i love the song um um
298
dr drain snoop doggie dog uh still dre oh yeah i love that song yeah all right got some hip-hop
299
that's that's a fat track yeah people be loving sharday's box of hip-hop yeah yeah definitely

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
