Sade is one of my favorite singers of all time. True, she doesn't have the widest range, but she uses what she's got to her advantage. Her smoky voice makes the sky "rain skittles" and tells the most beautiful stories. I grew up on her music and will never get tired of it. Love Deluxe is an excellent title, not only because it's about love (duh), but because it explores all types of love. From love gone wrong (No Ordinary Love) to explosive, erotic love (Kiss of Life) to love for a child (Pearls). No Ordinary Love kicks things off nicely with it's snaky bassline and ocean deep groove. It's only fitting that Sade would play a mermaid in the debut single's music video. The song seems to take a different meaning to different people. Some might call it a pure love song, but I hear regret and desperation in Sade's vocals. "I keep crying, I keep trying for you, there's nothing like you and I baby", she pleads. Obviously her lover wants to leave and while she understands that their relationship may not be considered the norm (mermaid problem, anyone?), she knows in her heart that it can work. My favorite part is the middle of the song where the band is just jamming and Sade wistfully sighs "and I'm falling". Beautiful. Kiss of Life is pretty much neck and neck with No Ordinary Love and Cherish the Day. The music is jazzy and midtempo (reminds me of New Orleans for some reason), but Sade's voice remains soft and almost sounds like a lullaby. Excellent work from the band as always during ...

I was nostalgic for the music of my teenage years, so I revisited Sade's unforgettable music and lyrics. The absence of new albums from Sade Adu and the three talented men who accompanied her is a huge loss to the world of music.
Indeed, No ordinary music.

Im only 23, and im a hiphop fan. I love all types of music. ANd im a young man out of brooklyn. Not trying to stereotype myself. But sade's music is amazing as well as anthony hamilton. But when she sings, You cant help but to find yourself leaving reality, n momentarily losing yourself in her music. I daze off for moments @ a time. all in all her music is passionate n beautfully put together, as if she is singin directly to you. I wish My generation could Enjoy her music presently, lol maybe jay-z or 50 cent can bring her out for 1 song @ least. if michael jackson still writing music janet jackson, whitney houston. lol sade can be featured!

Technically speaking, Sade could never be considered a great vocalist, but she has always been blessed with a keen understanding and respect for
her strikingly original gifts. Like some of the greatest pop-jazz vocalists, Sade often acknowledges that less is often a whole lot more. And therein lies her enormous power and appeal. "Love Deluxe" is by far the best album that Sade has ever made (without a doubt one of the very best of the 90's)! From the opening seductive grooves of "No Ordinary Love"--a song dripping with heartache and deception--to the melancholic strains of "Bullet Proof Soul," "Love Deluxe" delivers bass-driven romps that at once celebrate and bemoan matters of the heart("Cherish the Day," "Tatoo"). Turning to other matters close to her heart, Sade offers tone poems that address social-inequality without preachiness ("Pearls" and "Feel No Pain"). The band (mostly saxophone, keyboards and bass, with the occasional guitar flourish) provides the singer with full-bodied support while allowing her space enough to explore and convey a full spectrum of emotional color. Of course a Sade album would not be complete without either a superlative love song ("Kiss of Life" is actually the very incarnation of spring eternal) or a devastating torch song("Bullet Proof Soul" is a sobering indictment of a wayward paramour). In short, the spell-binding grooves never let up and there isn't a single track that you will want to skip. "Love Deluxe" is a splendid rebuke to those ... Read More

I absolutely adore all of Sade's music and this album is no exception.
I still listen to her albums from over 10 years ago and they still sound new to me.
I will always buy her music for as long as her melodies make my ears feel wonderful.
