Sade

I think most people should have heard of her by now so I'll skip the intro. She has a new single out, Soldier of love, which I absolutely love. You can check out the vid here Pitchfork: TV The album's out some time next month, I'm pretty excited about it.

Any thoughts?

Yeah I heard it for the first time yesterday. Her vocals are as smooth as ever and she's a huge guilty pleasure of mine but unsure about the track. I liked it but found it a little monotonous. Still looks as beautiful as ever and I will certainly check the album out.

Someone once said to me of Miles Davis that his playing never really changed, things just evolved around him. To whatever degree thats accurate, I feel as if the magic of Sade is the music around her. The title track from this album is phenominal.

Yes it is but the rest of the album is cliched crap and I am a Sade fan who has got a lot of stick for liking her music. The album is dull as ditchwater unfortunately.

I've only got Diamond Life myself (haven't bothered looking for the new one just yet), and personally I think it's a mixed bag - where there are some truly great songs there are a few mediocre and uninspiring ones to even things out.

Anyway, is there one of her albums that's end-to-end good stuff that I should have a look around for?

Love Deluxe is a brilliant album that is far from the 'dinner table' sound that she was so infamous for in the 80's.

I agree. I only heard two or three songs that I like off the new album yesterday and even they aren't all that special. Just more lively and a little different from the rest of the album. After 10 years of waiting for new Sade material, I was expecting a treat. Im very disappointed in what sounds like leftover b-side album filler. I think I'll just wait for the concert and support her that way. I won't be purchasing this.

Paradise, Your Love Is King, Nothing Can Come Between Us, Never As Good As The First Time, The Sweetest Taboo, No Ordinary Love........etc. ( A touch of class...is.... SADE..) She always reminded me of Jody Watley (Late 80s) who...is a little more ',Funk' than (as to say) Sade is....sexy, seductive, romantic,....candle light, ..etc.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KVgZVH0kmQ
