'By Your Side' - A Timeless Ballad by the Enigmatic Sade 'EN'

For nearly four decades, British singer-songwriter Sade has captivated audiences worldwide with her unique blend of soulful blues and smooth jazz.

This poignant ballad not only showcases Sidera's (Sade) breathtaking vocal range but also serves as an emotional solace for those who have ever felt alone.

The song's success can be largely attributed to Sade herself. Her soulful, velvety voice effortlessly glides over the simple yet haunting piano accompaniment provided by Stuart Matthewman (guitarist and long-time collaborator).
