Best of Sade

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
With her exotic beauty and steamy voice, Sade couldn't help but be a star. Taking the more sensuous elements of island beats, smooth jazz, and R&B, Sade scored major hits with the continental feel of "Smooth Operator" and the sultry stylization of "Your Love Is King." Her voice was often criticized for being thin, yet she made it work to her advantage with songs like the haunting "Jezebel," on which her delivery added the vulnerability necessary to the song. Sade sounded best when she stuck to the lower register, and there is nothing thin about her dynamic handling of her torch song "Is It a Crime." "The Sweetest Taboo" was one of her last great moments before years of mediocrity, chronicled here by the lifeless "Stronger Than Pride" and the limp "Nothing Can Come Between Us." "No Ordinary Love" was a return to form with the smoky richness back in her vocals and the urban/island feel of her first release. Best of Sade goes right up to her hit "Pearls," which, remixed, became a dance floor hit. The nicest surprise here is "Please Send Me Someone to Love," with Sade proving that although her range may be limited vocally, she doesn't suffer the same fate artistically. --Steve Gdula

5 out of 5 stars Sade's Best Songs.......2007-06-14

I love Sade's songs. This CD captures her best work. My money was well spent.

5 out of 5 stars The Very Best of Sade.......2007-05-25

This is without a doubt a must for Sade fans. What I consider to be the very best of Sade because of songs like Smooth Operator and Your Love is King. If you don't have it yet you must get it!

Sincerely,
Vicki B. Holton

5 out of 5 stars the best of Sade.......2007-05-13

I got this because of one of the Songs "Love is stronger than pride" that got my curiosity, but the singer was disappointing and the songs too. She sings like a robot and has no mentionable range. I donated the cd to the local library. The shipping and price were, as usual, perfect, no problem in that area.

5 out of 5 stars Great Music.......2007-05-12

Sade is one the most enjoyable music artist out there. She has a style of music all her own. I was glad I bought the CD. You will too.

4 out of 5 stars The Marchioness de Sade.......2007-05-27

There was a time in the mid-`90s when this CD was in permanent rotation at any watering hole sophisticated and snoochy enough to charge $15 for a drink. It's not hard to understand why; Best of Sade exudes a hip, laid-back smooth jazz sensibility without ever being the least bit intrusive. It's the soundtrack to your cool life, but you don't need to listen to it. On those occasions when you take a break from scanning the scenery for tonight's talent, it's agreeably toe-tappable.

As musical wallpaper for yuppies it's unbeatable, however, it doesn't withstand much deconstruction. To begin with, Sade Adu is more exotic than beautiful, and her voice is very, very limited. It has a buttery texture, but almost no range. There is some excitement in her lower register, which is where she generates the most feeling. Overall, Sade resembles Linda Ronstadt in that she makes the most of a range that extends all the way from A to B. Her pop sensibility is right on time, as in Smooth Operator, but when she attempts to dig down into something real and vivid, as in Jezebel, the results are awkward and embarrassing.

Hey kids! Sade is also the name of the group! Keyboards, guitar & sax, and bass. (Perhaps the drum sounds are made by the sax?) These guys have the presence of narcoleptic L.A. session men. (Just give me the chart, man.) Which brings up the real genius of the CD, and the glue that holds it together. Robin Millar, producer. Millar uses everything, including Sade herself, as raw material, arranging, rearranging, fading in and out, sweetening, mixing, remixing. The individual musicians are completely unimportant, their relationships and dynamics meaningless. Every note is a digital file that Millar fashions to his will. This is what accounts for the incredibly smooth, homogenized overall vibe.

If you doubt this, try Track 14, Please Send Me Someone To Love. This has the sparsest arrangement and the most minimal instrumentation on the CD. Sade's limitations as a singer are glaring here, it's painful; the song has as much emotion as a dishwasher repair manual. Without Millar's brilliantly crafted palace of sound around her, The Marchioness de Sade is just another odd-looking chirp from abroad.

5 out of 5 stars The Best of Sade, indeed.......2007-02-27

When I decided to purchase the CD, I had a mild interest in Sade after hearing her classic hits like Smooth Operator and No Ordinary Love. I knew nothing of her, with the exception of a few of her songs. My motivation for buying this album consisted of the facts that it was cheap and she was strongly recommended to me by a friend. Thus, I figured I might as well buy the album, because if it was bad I wouldn't have wasted much money on it at all.

After listening to the entire album, I have become an unmitigated Sade lover. Helen Folasade Adu, better known as Sade Adu, easily became my favorite singer after this album. Her undeniably sultriness and the sensuality that emanates from her songs give her a unique singing presence. Let's not forget her incredible voice that breathes life into the aforementioned qualities. I like almost every song on this album and I was never a Sade fan. The album has its strong points like the smooth opening song "Your Love is King"; the bounciness and appeal of "Smooth Operator"; the seriousness of "Jezebel" and "Pearls"; the beauty of "Kiss of Life"; the sensual nature of "No Ordinary Love"; the playfulness yet longing of "The Sweetest Taboo"; and the heartfelt emotion of songs like "Is It A Crime", "Love Is Stronger than Pride", and the undeniable hit "Cherish the Day".

I bought this album looking for a few songs, only to have most of them resonate with me. Some of the less popular songs may even resonate with you and or enamor you more so then her most popular songs. My personal favorites besides those that most already love are "Love is Stronger than Pride", which I liked after first hearing it and still do now, and "Is it a Crime", which grew on me. Sade's soulful, graceful elegance is definitely discernable through out the album.

If it isn't conspicuous by now, I definitely recommend this CD.

5 out of 5 stars The Best Of SADE!!!.......2007-01-22

Some critics in the past have said that SADE is an overhyped/overrated singer! This CD proves otherwise in my opinion! This is a great collection of her music. The quality of this CD is great and more then enjoyable to listen to. If your looking for a compilation of her stuff, this is one you would want to add to your collection.

5 out of 5 stars That sexy 4 head.............................2006-11-25

This is the only Sade album you'll ever need. Great from beginning to end.

5 out of 5 stars All areas of love covered in one cd. .......2006-11-18

I can only say one thing, I love this cd. You can feel every emotion with each song. I know you will love it, trust me.

Album Description

European only Gold-Disc pressing is housed in a die-cut slip case, exposing the gold disc. The serene, understated quality of Sade's arrangements lend this Best Of Sade its classic touch of elegance. Delicate washes of percussion and acoustic guitar, the coiled intensity of Stewart Matthewman's tenor saxophone counterpoint, Andrew Hale's suave, elusive keyboard colorations, and Paul S. Denman's discretely dancing bass provide a maximum of smoke, but precious little fire. The simmering aftermath of Sade's music is as deceptively powerful as a mixed drink: smooth and sweet going down, but with a surprisingly potent kick. Features the same mastering and 16 tracks that grace the US edition. Epic. 2005.

Album Details

Limited Gold Disc Edition of the Group's Hits Anthology. The Jewelbox Comes in a Special Black Slipcase with a Specially Cut Window Showcasing the Gold Disc.

5 out of 5 stars DEEP.......2007-08-03

Stuart Mathewman (along with Sade) has created some of the most heartfelt and soulful music I have ever listened to. You need to make sure you own everything Sade has ever released, including the 2 different live concert dvds that were released.

5 out of 5 stars Sade soothes your soul.......2007-07-16

I LOVE SADE! The Best of Sade is great, soothing music for the mind & soul. Anyone who wants to listen to something relaxing alone or with the one they love...I highly recommend this CD. It truly is soothing to your soul.

4 out of 5 stars The Best of Sade (on Gold)..........2007-01-31

This is a fair sample of the music of Sade. My only gripe is that as with most "Best Of" collections, the songs are edits. That's why I rate this: Four stars!

4 out of 5 stars Slick Smooth.......2007-01-25

Some peole just do it right and Sade is one of those people. Her music is not over produced. It is simple with smooth melodies. Her voice fits the music just like another instrument accompanying the mix. Simple is good!

5 out of 5 stars limited gold edition( best of best).......2006-12-28

I have had this CD for many years but had just recently purchased this gold limited edition from germany. I do have a high quality sound system to hear the difference to the older version. I must say, there is more detail and her voice is soooo smooth and the sax is not harsh at all. this is a very well recorded CD and worth the purchase if you love her music.
