T.Shirt and Paul Cantor link up once again for a tribute to Sade (whose album, Soldier of Love, is available today).

My man Paul Cantor sent me some music and it was just so smooth, I felt the need to take it there. I use the song as a vehicle to explain how much Sade has influenced me to be a certain kind of artist. The woman had made classic, timeless music for the last 20 years and I thought I’d flirt a little bit haha “sit back here, drink wine and talk career”, see what happens..
