Rewind: Sade x Naira x J Haze – ‘The Colour of Love’ (Album)
May 1, 2011
Sade is coming to Atlanta 7/12 & 7/13 with John Legend so it made us think about a dope project that sampled some of her best songs. Singer/songwriter Naira teamed with Atlanta producer J Haze to put together together this EP with features from Cy Marshall Law, Draft, and cuts from DJ Rasta Root. The joint dropped July 2010 so as you buy your tickets for the Sade show give this a listen.
