Beyoncé Recreates Sade’s Love Deluxe Album Cover

Beyoncé might not say much of anything outside her music but she’ll never pass on an opportunity to gush about Sade, from shouting her out in a Harper’s Bazaar interview to posting a handwritten letter on her website about what the singer means to her. “For years, I’ve turned to Sade for inspiration,” she wrote in 2012. “I cannot even begin to count the nights, days, hard times—when I need her—she is there, to inspire me, and brighten me. Her music has been a true friend, as all true music should be.”

Bey’s 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 doesn’t mention Sade herself—it’s largely about the hair product line Cécred—but it does include another homage, to Diana Ross’ Forever boxset art. You can check that one out over on i-D. Sade is set to be inducted into—but not appear at—the Rock Hall on November 14.
