Sade Releases 'Young Lion,' a Heartfelt Apology to Trans Son Izaak

The new track is part of the Red Hot Organization's 'Transa' compilation, aiming to promote understanding of the transgender community.

Sade's 'Young Lion' marks her first new release in six years, featuring a personal apology to her son, Izaak Adu, who is a trans man.
The song is included in the 'Transa: Selects' EP, a precursor to the full 'Transa' compilation set for release on November 22.
Izaak Adu expressed that while he didn't need an apology from his mother, the song's message of understanding resonated deeply with him.
Produced by Sade with Aaron Taylor Dean and co-written with Dean and Ben Travers, the song features moving string arrangements and poignant lyrics.
The 'Transa' compilation includes contributions from over 100 artists, such as Sam Smith and André 3000, aiming to foster community and healing for the trans community.
