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 who once misread and dismissed Sade as a glamourous flash-in-the-pan!

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.

Whether or not you happen to be a fan of the artist, I believe that you will definitely appreciate and enjoy all that she has done on this album. Her hard work and talent really shine in this work of art! The songs also, I believe, tell a story about the heart of Sade. The orchestrations and back-up vocals are particularly well-done. This album is certainly one that I feel confident in recommending to you...
