Luckily, I was fortunate enough to experience the gift that is the voice of Sade Adu. Lovers Rock, specifically, the album I remember most, in it's prime, while my mother would swiftly celebrate life's smallest moments through a mass amount of gratitude.
I decided to share this live version of Pearls by Adu in memory of all things small. What's small is then what's big, so moments specifically like these, where I reflect on the voices that have influenced my rhythm as a young adult today make me feel so at ease.
