depends on how much juice you got. unless it says something else in
the contract, and it probably doesn't, Sade is creating music for the
label, after which they may do whatever they damn well please. Since
she is a name artist, she probably has a phrase allowing for "said
remixer to be approved by both the label and artist, with such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld" or something close. in
other words, she can disagree on some specific re-mixers, but not
all. this phrase is usually used to nix an individual remix.

fyi,
