Our Review

English R&B hasn't often found a toehold in the music's original home, but American fans almost immediately grasped for Sade's billowing, intoxicating sound. The Nigerian transplant's first album, Diamond Life, benefited from the uber-glamorous singles "Smooth Operator" and "Your Love Is King," while also underscoring the singer and her band's roots in funk. "Hang On to Your Love," for instance, is as much at home on the dance floor as in the boudoir, and a cover of Timmy Thomas' "Why Can't We Live Together" is a righteous tribute to one of the early '70s' most memorable singles. Often considered a smooth-jazz artist, and certainly one of the format's rulers, Sade on her debut also feels a lot like an influence on the neo-soul movement that would follow.

Customer Reviews

The queen of soul (4 stars)
Obnoxious iTunes review. Typical idiotic comments from a mainstream “critic” who never understood Sade’s music. I have never thought of Sade as a Jazz singer. That moniker was placed on her by smug critics who didn’t know any better. Fans love her because she is quietly passionate and intense. A complex chanteuse who bares her soul in her music yet somehow maintains a sense of poise and mystery. She has no equivalent anywher

As if I-Tunes Knew Jazz . . . (4 stars)
As a professional musician working the 'Vegas scene in the '80s, pop music was a quirky pleasure at the time. Even Miles Davis recognized this (covering Lauper's Time After Time). There was a variety of music that didn't yet segregate itself into mutually exclusive genres by race, class, or online snobbery. Sade sang torchy songs that when combined with the visuals in her videos of a woman emboding pathos spurned, you couldn't help but fall

No skips (5 stars)
I never skip a single song on any of Sade's albums and they never get old. 'Nuf said.

When singer Sade and her band of the same name were establishing themselves, their record company, Epic, made a point of printing "Pronounced Shar-day" on the record labels of their releases. Soon enough, the music had no problem with the correct pronunciation. With the breakthrough Billboard Hot 100 Top Ten single "Smooth Operator" propelling the debut Sade album, Diamond Life, to the same spot on the Billboard 200 chart in 1985, the band fast came to epitomize soulful, adult-oriented, sophisti-pop....
