[edit] Trivia

• The song Sade was indeed created with the group of the same name in mind. However, Kenny claims he's never met the band nor Sade herself.
• There are at least two versions of the CD that have been released in the U.S. The earlier release has a longer version of "What Does It Take." The later one has a shortened version identical to the one usually played by radio stations.
