Shade – this name is immediately associated with a spectacular mulatto that performs romantic songs and has just a delightful vocal. Of course, those who know her. But, Shade is not only the name of the vocalist, this is the name of the group. It is difficult to even say what kind of style the music performed by the group. This is a whole mix of jazz, soul, blues directions.
About sensual music Shade
The group began its history in 1984, and now the number of albums sold by the Shade group is more than 50 million. worldwide. The composition of the group is not large – the vocalist and three musicians make magnificent music.
BAS GITAR – Paul Spencer Denmen, keyboards – Andrew Hale, and Saxophone – Stewart MeTyumen is the most suitable set of tools that creates bright, lively and exciting melodies. And, of course, Helen Folashade hell herself, about which a little more.
Shade originally from Nigeria. She is already 54 years old (born in 1959), but she looks just great. Her parents were completely ordinary people – a nurse and teacher. And she got to the UK when her mother and her father divorced, and she was taken to the UK, to her grandparents. Shade since childhood was fond of fashion, dancing and music. In general, she was a creative child. Therefore, in her youth she worked as a fashion model, graduated from a clothing designer and, together with her friend, worked in an atelier for sewing men’s clothing. Maybe there she met with the manager of the Ariva group, a part of which later became. In this regard, she began to write her songs. And only then, having met the future musicians of the group, she became a vocalist of the same team.
By the way, Shade even tried herself as the actress of the film “Beginning”, where she played the role of the singer, perhaps he didn’t even have to play. And, of course, she performed a song – the soundtrack.
Naturally, such a spectacular girl could not but have a personal life. Of course, she got married quite late, perhaps in connection with the successful career of the singer. At the end of the 80s, she was in Spain, she met the Spanish film director, who became her first husband. But the first marriage was not happy.
But when in the middle of the 90s she was in Jamaica, fate brought her with a Jamaican producer. With whom she connected her life. Apparently, this time Shade was more lucky and she gave birth to a daughter from him – Ilom. In principle, very little is known about its personal, private life. The singer does not like to spread on this topic, remaining mysterious in life, but very frank in songs.
Shade has a very spectacular, non -standard, and very sensual appearance, to match his songs. The time is not doused over her songs. They obeyed many years ago, they are relevant and now. And the secret of the infinity of her music is probably that she is lively, real, permeated by emotions, as well as the very performance of the singer, like her voice. The singer said that in childhood and youth, she was struck by how many feelings could arouse music in a person. Therefore, she began to arouse emotions and sensations in people with her own music. The group’s debut plate was Diamond Life, published in 1984. And then the album “Promise” was already released, which included my favorite composition “is it a crime”.
Listen and, perhaps, you will want to replenish your music collection with the albums of this bright performer. I really like her songs, her manner of performance. When I want to dream, find inspiration and plunge into the atmosphere of romance and bliss, I turn on Shade. Her songs are especially good with the romantic moments of our life, for example, in the evening spent with the arms of a loved one. After all, Shade sings about love, about a deep and such all -consuming feeling that makes our heart beat.
