http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2152&rws=%2Fsade%2Fdiscography.rssSade hit the Day-Glo mid-1980s like a cool, monochromatic breeze. The singer updated the classic continental style of Audrey Hepburn and married it with a vocal approach that was more whisper than growl. It's always worked, though, since Sade's icy vocal style brings out the stoic yet emotionally scarred nature of her well-crafted torch songs. Much of the credit goes to her ever-tight, streamlined band, who have a knack for seamlessly mixing smooth jazz and soul styles. After a fine debut and the excellent <I>Promise</I> (1985), her approach shifted as she began to mix overly repetitive light funk workouts with darker mood pieces; so while <I>Stronger Than Pride</I> and <I>Love Deluxe</I> each contain a bit of filler, strong tracks abound. <I>Lover's Rock</I> (2000) is her best since <I>Promise</I>, and it proves that Sade doesn't have to compete with changing fashion or styles. She is a genre of one. - Nick DedinaQuiet Stormen720Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:31:55 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.2152&rws=%2Fsade%2Fdiscography.rss Sade hit the Day-Glo mid-1980s like a cool, monochromatic breeze.
