Best Sade Album?

Question

Best Sade Album?

Recently, I revisited Sade’s entire catalogue. For the record, I think all their albums are amazing. Even Soldier of Love has some interesting songwriting.

While I believe Love Deluxe and Diamond Life are objectively the most influential, Lovers Rock is the one I revisit the most. It just has an insane atmosphere, especially when it leans fully into the trip-hop. Even though a couple of tracks sound like country pop, I still find it to be the most unique and it includes most of my favorite Sade songs.

I've always liked Stronger than Pride the best. Not sure why.

For me it's probably Love Deluxe, but it's a very consistent discography.

Though I'd heard all her singles over the years, Lovers Rock was the first album I ever owned, so it's my fav as well.

It's an underrated one. I think it's pretty cool since it marks the transition between the smooth jazz previous stuff and whatever you call Love Deluxe's style

All of this

It's so hot how she looks kinda chinky. She's really every ethnicity at once.

I came here to say that her early era before Love Deluxe blew up was so good. The first 3 albums are amazing. Promise has two really good songs 'never as good as the first time' and is it a crime' ... you can loop brood for days.

I forgot how great Sade is. Thanks for reminding me, OP.

The Sweetest Taboo and Maureen are also great songs out of Promise

yeah those are also really good, maureen is so sad and i remembered a girl by that name which makes it sadder. Good catch anonymous user.
She definitely peaked with love deluxe but it wouldnt be possible without those first 3 records.

Yes, good observation, she is more highly evolved. She should have been studied

No Tar Baby

No You're Not the Man

No Never as Good as the First Time

Also, the answer is Love Deluxe. Consistently good from start to finish, bordering on masterpiece.

Those are also great songs, I think Promise is also consistently good from start to finish

Yeah, I agree. I'd put Promise right behind Love Deluxe.

I disagree, I like Diamond Life and Lovers Rock more

Diamond Life has some duds on it.

I feel like this entire thread is AI generated but I really hope its not, or that its a sample of a real conversation that took place.

I like sade too.

I don't think AI will talk about Sade's ethnicity

Sade is a troon

That's cause she's too pure for this filthy place, so it just feels wrong to see her here

No autism

No Anon Babbletards

Nice conversation about the artist

Must've been AI generated!

Fuck off

this artist is ruined for me after watching a streamer who would play smooth operator on repeat

Shame about her fivehead.

good morning anon

Her forehead is perfect, everyone else's is just too small

I think I'm in love anon

using this sade sample was the best decision MG ever made... in my opinion...

Timestamp? I'm not listening to the whole shit

SMOOTH LIKE THE RED EYE

SMOOOTH... LIKE THE RED EYE

Its promise and its not even close

I think it's pretty close, all of them except for Soilder of Love are really good

smooth operator is really overplayed but is easy to ignore compared to the rest of her body of work

Kiss of Life is the cutest song I've ever heard. It's perfect.

Absolute snoozefest youtu.be/eplGg6JgvPM?si=RDjUIwuTuWDO7oZ0

Hello angel, I'm completely in love with you, and I want to marry you.

She's old enough to be your grandmother.

There's nothing wrong with that

You sure?

Nice try but I'm not retarded and I know that's not Sade

I also think lovers rock was the best. strangely for me Love Deluxe was the second worst besides Soldier of Love

It was worth a try.

one of the best bands of the last 4 decades
maybe the best
