Forgive this slight post-tour pre-album tier thread, but i think there are enough people here who know and appreciate Sade, that will understand why i would bother to mention this as an idea!!
Both groups are truly genius at creating love songs!! Both groups have an incredible versatility of blending musical styles!!
I think that Sade and Dave's voices would blend really well, and that the combination of Sade and DMB's instrumentalists would be quite potent!!

Stuart Matthewman told
Rated R&B in an interview that the band is in the studio working on their seventh studio album. He said, "We're working on a new album. When we're happy, then we'll let everyone else hear it."
That is the current situation as of this year, which is probably a good sign, especially since a few Sade singles have appeared more recently! Flower of the Universe is one of the most beautiful songs of the two centuries in which recorded music existed, and has a lot of late-period fatherly Dave songwriting depth, if you haven't heard that one, look it up and enjoy!!
Maybe around the time that they come back, the idea to collaborate will be discovered!!
