Kelela Covered Sade's 'Like a Tattoo' and It's the Smoothest Thing We've Heard All Week
Kelela dropped by BBC 1 Radio last night for an incredibly stripped-down set.
Kelela is having a moment.
<p>The Ethiopian-American singer dropped her much-anticipated album
<em>Take Me Apart</em> last week, and she's the current <em>Fader</em> cover star. In <a href="http://www.okayafrica.com/kelela-white-people-dont-understand-black-women-dont-space-suck/" target="_blank">her cover story, the singer spoke candidly</a> about how black artists aren't afforded the same space to fail as their white counterparts—as you can see, this woman speaks the truth.

Last night the artists made an appearance on BBC Radio 1's "Piano Sessions," where she delivered a sultry cover of<strong> Sade</strong>'s 1992 song "Like a Tattoo" from her acclaimed album <em>Love Deluxe</em>. Kelela certainly does the track justice.
