Even as a young metalhead in the 80's Sade was a guilty pleasure of mine (other will have to be drug out of me using Bush administration tactics). I remember triumphantly going up to my mom and telling her there actually WAS someone as mesmerizing as Astrud Gilberto (i.e., "Girl from Ipanema", "Quiet Nights", etc). It wasn't bossa, but it was nice.
Those that like Sade should give Bic Runga a listen. Again, not the same musical fusion, but a beautiful voice linking it all together.
