Editorial Reviews

It could have been that Sade (collectively, the vocalist Sade Adu and her band) would have remained the darlings solely of the British underground rare-groove scene, but their sound proved irresistible to the mainstream, and the rest is history. Caught at the beginning of her career in 1985, Sade's cool vocals and exotic looks grabbed everyone's attention. But equally as important to Diamond Life's success was the velvet muscle of the band's accompaniment, a sinewy after hours groove, laden with minimalist funk. Eight of the nine tracks are self-penned. Straddling R&B and pop, this disc lays out the hooks and sultry allure that became Sade's soulful standard--intelligent and sexy at the same time. --Derek Rath

My Profile: No qualifications as a music expert

In the mid 80's there was this fabulous radio program (on AM) that displayed an unsual repertoire of music ranging from jazz (Manhattan Transfer - Al Di Meola) to Klaus Schlutz !!.. anyway, I usually studied in this time and this was great music to have as a background.. then I hear Sade.. what a refreshing change of pace.. like hearing brazilian contemporary..yet this had its unique style.. not strident.. sensous.. appealing..the music to fall in love and be in love..

Much like Marisa Monte.. Sade will be style you will keep as your favorite

5 out of 5 stars Diamonds are forever.......2007-03-28

This CD's fantastic and has been on my wish list for sometime. It's the best of all Sade and if you're a true fan this CD and or grouping of the original releases is a must. I didn't feel my collection was complete without Diamond Life and I'm sure once you purchase the original release (not the re-mastered) you'll understand why you've always felt like something was missing.

5 out of 5 stars One of the Greatest British Lounge Music Albums of All Time........2007-01-22

I have never reviewed a Sade product before, even though I have been a fan for 22 years. Well, it's high time I did as Sade is among my favorite British lounge artists. This woman came along with her band in the mid-80s, at a time when British music was experiencing a metamorphosis from punk and new wave to a revival of soul, pop, and jazz sounds with the likes of other U.K. contemporaries like Spandau Ballet, Swing Out Sister, Matt Bianco, Everything But the Girl, and Prefab Sprout--only to name a few--that now gets steady airplay on smooth jazz stations to this day.

To say that Diamond Life was a ground breaker is putting it mildly at best. Sade was not just another beautiful face who worked as a model and fashion designer. She proved herself to be quite a talent with a sultry, smokey voice that matched her exotic English-Nigerian looks and a truly gifted songwriter who looked at human character and racism without being a boring poet and weighing down the talents of her bandmates.

"Smooth Operator," with Stuart Matthewman's unforgettable sax work has stood the test of over two decades as one of the most erotically thrilling pieces of smooth jazz to ever receive airplay on the globe, and it is a true classic from start to finish. In fact, it's Matthewman's sax that often steals the show from Ms. Adu, intentional or not. The intimate and beautiful "Your Love is King" is even better than its predecessor for several mood enhancing reasons I will not elaborate on, but it is a song I never push the skip button on. "Hang On to Your Love" has wonderful keyboards and great rhythm that is playful and sensual all at once, just as "Frankie's First Affair" is slow, contemplative, and winsome.

It is true that "When Am I Going to Make a Living" is a bit of a filler song, but "Cherry Pie" is a great slice of lamentative funk that reminds one slightly of revamped Philly soul. "Sally" reminds me of a Toni Morrison novel set to music, and "I Will Be Your Friend," while admittedly not the strongest track on Diamond Life, is a sweet song of comfort and compassion. I must admit, though, that the successful airplay of Sade's remake of "Why Can't We Live Together" is an absolute mystery to me. I never liked the song to begin with, and her version, while smoother and definitely full of honest emotional angst just never grabbed me in the right way. Now that I have had all these years to get used to it, though, I don't question it so much anymore and enjoy the track for its integrity.

If you haven't gotten to know Sade very well yet, I can't recommend a better place to start than with the album that began it all. After all, that's how a lot of us got started. This is a 5 star album because it's 90% perfection, and the other 10% doesn't exactly suck. If you add this disc to your cd collection, Diamond Life will make you all the richer by far.

I found a supposedly "New remastered edition" of Sade's "Diamond Life" on sale for less than 10 bucks. OOPS! Great mistake! When I tried to return it, the CD store was already out of business, and the copy is one issued in the Netherlands which is marked INTO THE BOOKLET as "2000 Digital Remastered Version". The whole album HAS BEEN RE-RECORDED with new arrangements! The digital sound is quite good, but the new arrangements made for 'Smooth Operator' REALLY SUCKS!!!

    1 out of 5 stars Piece of sh*t.......2005-02-25

    C-lim is a damn shame to Sacramento, the crappiest rapper ever to come out of sac town. who ever gave this album five stars obviosly doesn't know sh*t about sac rap. He isn't even the same level as the rest who need national props. I recommend HOLLOW TIP, or CBO, Gangsta Dre, Lynch, X-raided, Lunasicc, J-mack, pizzo, and the up and coming crowne royals. don't waste your money on this cd you Will regret it.

    2 out of 5 stars Hollow Tips better.......2003-10-19

    I guess this cd is okay but lets face it any Hollow Tip Record is better than this. Save your money for Hollows new Mercenaries Cd when it comes out on Nov.18 or buy Takin No Shorts Vol. 2.

      Enclosure 2, all four cds, is curated as a sprawling notebook filled with sounds and speech instead of sketches and words. Of any Partch recording extant, it gives the best picture of the man--as the curmudgeonly, extremely innovative misanthrope that he was, as the composer who was impossibly unlike anyone else before or since. The essence of Partch's music reflects the history of the world--from his particular perspective--the imaginings of ancient Greece to the influence of Chinese musical melodrama, all propelled by homemade instruments based on a 43-tone scale named things like the "Kithara" and the "Boo." These recordings also give the best sense of his philosophy of language in music. Lamenting the whole time how text in music had become detached from the language of everyday life, Partch ran music alongside newsboys' cries and hobos' diaries, following the forms, cadence, and dynamics of speech, rather than the other way around. From his juvenilia (a wonderful song he wrote at 18) to a 45-minute segment of his wake in 1974, the first steps towards exploring Partch's sparkling works fully are made here. --Robin Edgerton

              3 out of 5 stars Great for romantic dinner with hubby!.......2005-08-09

              I love great songs turned into classic music. it is wonderful to be able to play some of my favorite songs, during a romantic dinner. It would have been great at my wedding to play during dinner :D

              4 out of 5 stars It's alright, good for relaxing.......2004-08-26

              The only reason I didn't put five stars is because it didn't include "When the Lights Go Down". Otherwise, it's alright
