Surprisingly, it’s been 10 years since Sade’s last CD. Too long a time! I’ve listened to this CD several times over the past week and the music never gets old. Sade’s sultry style coupled with crystal clear recording makes listening to these songs a pleasure. Sade broke into popular music in the Eighties with her debut album, Diamond Life and later built an audience with hits like “Smooth Operator” and “No Ordinary Love.” Soldier of Love doesn’t contain any hit material like that, but it is mellow music for a snowy evening. With a glass of wine in one hand and your sweetie in the other, and Sade on your stereo, you’re in for something good. GRADE: A-
It’s not even Too shabby sans parnter or wine, but you are certainly on the right track, George. (I have to turn down the wine, myself.)
My doctor recommends red wine each day to boost my good cholesterol, Todd.
I couldn’t believe that list of the 50 Sexiest Songs that was on the internet just prior to Valentine’s Day didn’t contain a single Sade song! My favorites by her are “Is It A Crime?” and “Kiss of Life,” but there’ll all wonderful quiet storm material. I’ll definitely be getting this one.
I own all of Sade’s CDs, Deb. As you point out, they’re great quiet storm music. I love “Smooth Operator” and “Bring Me Home.” I thought that 50 SEXIEST SONGS list was deficient in several areas, too.
You are a very seductive guy, aren’t ya?
I’ve always loved women, Patti. Too late to change now.
Patti’s comment was really funny.
Just give me a Sade or Barry White CD and watch me go to work, Drongo!
