Sade hasn't released an album with new music in over a decade — her last studio project was Soldier of Love in 2010 — but that isn't stopping the singer's name from trending online as fans continue to be in awe of her mystery.

An old video of a skit she performed with Wanda Sykes has resurfaced on the internet, and it has fans continuing to admire the singer. In the clip, the comedian, who at the time had her own talk show, followed the musician on a walk as she begged the artist to perform "something from the new album."
The clip had fans reminiscing on the one time in the last decade that the singer graced the world with her presence before she disappeared back into the shadows.
Some people, like this user, responded with a memory of meeting Sade once.
I don't do much humble bragging on this bird app….But when I met the unicorn (Sade), it took EVERY fiber of my being to not Stan the F out like Wanda… https://t.co/aHTbNgD5Do

When I interviewed Sade for the Love Deluxe bio, she kissed me on the cheek when we were done. On bad days, I transport back to that moment. https://t.co/jYp7mXEofB

Other fans simply marveled at the singer for her "multigenerational" talent.
Sade is just ethereal.. she is one of those artists that’s multi generational.. A lot of my peers listen to her and it shocked me bc I’m usually the only one in the room that actually knows older artists music. Sade is a Queen 👸🏽
