Mae Day featuring Sade “Sweetest Taboo”
Add Sade to the list of acts taking waaaaayyyy too long to drop something new. It’s been nine long years since the soft-singing British beauty and her backing gang of sophisticated soundmen gave us Lovers Rock and we’re long overdue for some new material. Perhaps feeling the same kind of desirous pangs, female emcee (remember those?) Mae Day has dipped into the Sade catalog for her tributing mixtape Cherish The Day, which finds her lacing adored classics like “Is It A Crime?” and “No Ordinary Love” with her own lyrical spin for some quite soothing results.
On project highlight “Sweetest Taboo”, Mae twists Sade’s sensual 1985 Valentine of the same name to back her own romantic worshiping. “Swear you compare to a new drug/ That’s why/ Need a hit of you, weed will never get me high,” the Detroit femcee rhymes in a gentle flow that perfectly rides the sampled original’s still-illustrious candlelit groove (causing one to fiend for a Floetry comeback along the way).
