Silky & Smooth

Sade is one of the all-time underrated artists of our time. She is such an amazing performer. Can't wait to hear more from her. I actually have both her CDs from her 1st release to Promise and especially Love Deluxe (one of my all-time favorite). I'm a huge fan to her music and always will be. Some of the albums I don't have on her at this moment are Stronger than Pride, The Best of Sade and Lover's Rock. Those of the 3 I may pick up once it's availble or not. But praise God it was re-released w/o no bonus features but just a new sound and a brand new look.



Ok as I was gonna say about this CD, this classic is a sultry blend of R&B, funk, smooth jazz, Latin, blues, and a bit of rock to deepen the rhythm a lil bit. Like 2 say, I luv every song that's on this CD right here 'cuz it's so timeless not vulgarly.



Sade have put out a band that most often work with her y'know from Stuart Matthewhead, Stuart Gordon, and the other guy (forgotten his name). Like this is one of her best that she put out even it's a must-have classic. I luv the sound that she did on this album.



Some of my favorite songs to date are: Smooth Operator, Your Love Is King, Hang On To Your Love, Cherry Pie (that's such a deep song w/ a lot of upbeats to it), and the remake of Timmy or Jimmy Thomas' "Why Can't We Live Together".



I recommend this if they wanna to tryout some neo-soul or some R&B in their era. Good job on a wonderful disc. God bless u Sade, and put out some albums like this in the future.

This is still a wonderful debut from Sade!

I still think that this album is still Sade's best album! From the classic Smooth Operator, to Hang on to Your Love, to Cherry Pie,to Your Love Is King, to Sally, and Frankie's First Affair, this album smartly balanced R&B and smooth jazz and scored big in 1985. I've noticed that the album sounds best in South Carolina--the band's songs match so very well to the hilly landscapes down there. There's a consistent live feel to the songs from the band, a lot of improvisation and strong song making. And Sade Adu sounds superb, vocally and with conviction. I've noticed that some of this first album's songs still get a lot of play in drugstores, supermarkets, as well as radio stations. I was so happy that they won a Grammy Award for Best New Artist. They were the best ones that year! It set the tone for Promise, Love Deluxe and the most recent one, Lovers Rock. This is still a wonderful and classic debut from Sade!
