Beyoncé might not say much of anything outside her music but sheâll never pass on an opportunity to gush about Sade, from shouting her out in a Harperâs Bazaar interview to posting a handwritten letter on her website about what the singer means to her. âFor years, I've turned to Sade for inspiration,â she wrote in 2012. âI cannot even begin to count the nights, days, hard timesâwhen I need herâshe is
there, to inspire me, and brighten me.
Her music has been a true friend, as all true music should be.â Beyâs latest Sade tribute? Recreating the 1992 Love Deluxe cover, in a new photo shoot and (likely emailed) interview in i-D Magazine. Alas, the Beyoncé Q&A doesnât mention Sade herselfâitâs largely about the hair product line Cécredâbut it does include another homage, to Diana Rossâ Forever boxset art.
You can check that one out over on i-D. Sade is set to be inducted intoâbut not appear atâthe Rock Hall on November 14.
