Sade at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis last Friday

Subdued and sultry soul singer Sade has spent the last couple of decades out of the limelight, which makes the positive reviews of her recent reunion shows with her eponymous band seem all the sweeter. When Sade played St. Louis this past weekend, she was just as cool and collected as ever, blending the hits from her R&B career in the '80s ("Smooth Operator," "No Ordinary Love") with songs from last year's resurgence album Soldier of Love.

We're excited for Sade's stop in the Twin Cities next Tuesday, when she plays a show at the Target Center with John Legend, and thanks to show promoter Live Nation we'd like to send two Gimme Noise readers to the show for free.

To enter our Sade ticket giveaway contest, simply complete these two steps:

1. "Like" us on Facebook, which you can do right here:

2. Leave a comment below telling us your favorite Sade song. (Be sure to use a working email address when you comment, as this is how we will contact our winners. Your email address will not be displayed and we will not use it for any other purpose.)

Only those who complete both steps are eligible to win the pair of tickets. We will draw a winner at 5 p.m. today.

"Jezebel" is my favorite at the moment. the narrative. the poetry. the signature sweet haunting air about the vocals that's so visceral

Shayna Melgaard

"King of Sorrow" is one of my favorite Sade songs. It's dark and winding and a totally hot groove. This should be the first song on your Break-up Mix. And don't act like you've never made one.

This is too hard! I love the entire Lover's Rock album but I'm going to have to go with "King of Sorrow."

A few years ago, I found the guts to get up and sing "Sweetest Taboo" during the SF Film Society's Annual Christmas Karaoke Party. The entire room got quiet as soon as everyone heard those beginning sounds of the drums. I got REALLY nervous. But I carried on with that Sade spirit of quiet dignity and grace...and I ended up winning 1st prize that night! She is my ultimate muse.
