2. Sadie is a Swedish pop/R&B singer from Stockholm who emerged in the mid-1990s. She attracted attention with her 1995 single “Dedicated to You,” a Motown-influenced soul/dance track produced and remixed by prominent Swedish producers including StoneBridge. The song became a national radio success in Sweden, reaching the top of Sveriges Radio P3’s playlist.

She followed it with “Just Can’t Get Enough” in 1996 and released her self-titled album Sadie that year through Sony Music Sweden. Her music combined American-style R&B and soul with the polished dance-pop sound that was becoming characteristic of Sweden’s 1990s music scene. Billboard also mentioned her alongside Swedish R&B acts such as Robyn, Addis Black Widow and Infinite Mass.

Sadie later returned with material including “All Night Long” in 1999 and the album All or Nothing.
