"Sade...I can't really say her name without blushing. I've enjoyed her in many ways. Probably mostly holding up her poster with one hand - but I love her music too, don't get me wrong! And she hadn't made a record in quite a number of years and when this came out I have to admit I was a little skeptical being a fan from the old days. And this record kills! It's really strong, really confident, really amazing...and I don't know how old she is now but...you can still hold that poster up my friends!"

@Voivod All Sade albums are fantastic, but my favorite is Love Deluxe.





i personally 100% agree. if anyone is wanting to get into Sade, do it chronologically. Every album is very very consistent

Album Rating: 4.5

Lovers Rock seemed like the weak link, but a few listens got me REALLY loving it.

Album Rating: 4.0

One of the great things about Sade albums is that the hits aren't even necessarily the best songs. And her first three albums are all great. Haven't dug further into the catalog, but apparently a lot of folk here like the still later ones.
