Nigerian vocalist Sade Adu has carved out a cosmpolitan niche for herself over the past decade, gathering together elements of cool jazz, samba, reggae, funk and pop all under the pastoral umbrella of her suede-and-velvet voice. A pop stylist with a musical universe all her own, Sade has endured and matured over the past decade, seemingly unaffected by changes in taste and fashion--a movement unto herself. As her most recent single (Percy Mayfield's "Please Send Me Someone To Love" from the PHILADELPHIA soundtrack) illustrates, Sade's coy caressing voice speaks more of commitment and trust, of relationships in flux ("Nothing Can Come Between Us") than of the heat of the moment: from the the coy duplicity of "Smooth Operator" to the positive reinforcement of "The Sweetest Taboo" and the sweet ambiguities of "Love Is Stronger Than Pride." Outside of Sade's mentholated vocals, it is the serene, understated quality of her arrangements that lend THE 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.   Compilation Appearances Music And Spirit Of Fela Kuti Keep On Loving You Voices Kuschelrock V.2 Ultimate Easy Album Women's Greatest Voic1101 Erotic Lounge Vol 3   Associated Artists and Works Artists, Various Smooth Sax Tribute To Sade ~ Chancellor, Walter, Jr. Various Artists Smooth Sax Tribute to Sade ~ Various Artists   Technical Info Release Date : 04/03/2001 Original Release Date : 1994 Catalog ID : 85287 Label : Epic (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Runtime : 73m : 50s Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00696998528727   Professional Reviews Entertainment Weekly (11/18/94, p.108) - "...Among these soulful, moody treasures...from her four platinum discs, there is one particular jewel:...Percy Mayfield's "Please Send Me Someone To Love"....a grand reminder of why the silky-voiced chanteuse's love is king...." - Rating: A    Product Image
