SADE REJECTS DRAKE COLLABORATION
Reclusive soul great SADE has dashed rapper DRAKE’s hopes of a collaborat= ion because she fears she will disappoint fans if she steps out of her "s= afety zone".
Drake has been actively pursing a rare duet with the Smooth Operator si= nger since last year (09), when he voiced his desire to work with her.
He told WENN, "There are conversations going on (between the two star’s= camps). I haven’t spoken to her personally yet but my management is talk= ing to hers and it’s looking more yes than no right now, so I’m hoping we= can get it done." Sade, who had been absent from the spotlight for several years, made he= r chart comeback this week (17Feb10) when her first release in 10 years, = Soldier of Love, debuted atop the U.S. albums chart.
Sade admits she’s only heard about Drake’s duet plans from the press, b= ut she is hesitant to agree to a project together because she has never w= orked with another artist in her 30 years in the music industry.
She says, "I don’t think they have contacted me. I’ve never collaborate= d because I’ve always avoided working outside of my safety zone. I can be= exactly who I am and can fail or succeed within the moment.
"I feel safe working like I do. I wouldn’t want to work in a situation = where I am expected to deliver, because I think I wouldn’t deliver." (MT/=
