Product description

Product Description

Sade

鶹.ca

With her exotic beauty and steamy voice, Sade couldn't help but be a star. Taking the more sensuous elements of island beats, smooth jazz, and R&B, Sade scored major hits with the continental feel of "Smooth Operator" and the sultry stylization of "Your Love Is King." Her voice was often criticized for being thin, yet she made it work to her advantage with songs like the haunting "Jezebel," on which her delivery added the vulnerability necessary to the song. Sade sounded best when she stuck to the lower register, and there is nothing thin about her dynamic handling of her torch song "Is It a Crime." "The Sweetest Taboo" was one of her last great moments before years of mediocrity, chronicled here by the lifeless "Stronger Than Pride" and the limp "Nothing Can Come Between Us." "No Ordinary Love" was a return to form with the smoky richness back in her vocals and the urban/island feel of her first release. Best of Sade goes right up to her hit "Pearls," which, remixed, became a dance floor hit. The nicest surprise here is "Please Send Me Someone to Love," with Sade proving that although her range may be limited vocally, she doesn't suffer the same fate artistically. --Steve Gdula

    4.0 out of 5 stars Superb Production and Velvety Smooth Vocals
    Reviewed in Canada on June 15, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    All my experience with Sade, until now, had been in high-end audio demo rooms (not that I could afford to buy anything there), where her albums were at the top of the demo playlist, largely for her 'smooth as butta' vocals (the 90s female analogue of Mel "The Velvet Fog" Torme), plus the superb sound quality and musicianship on her albums. There are only three or four songs on the disc that I really like, but with the lush production, expert sidemen and Sade's sensual singing, I can listen to almost the whole album through. Not sure if she ever dethroned 70s icon Barry White as the GOAT soundtrack for seduction, but I'd bet she's closing in fast.
