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

You can't NOT like this album. It's all the songs she's become so famous for. The new album? Time will tell.

I have never been a "fan" of Sade - just liked a few tracks here and there, but after working in a radio station with a couple of friends who were Sade fans - I came to appreciate her music a lot more.
I currently work shifts with quick turns so there are times that I have to rest even though my body isnt ready to because I have to be back work within 8 hrs and if I have the house to myself I like a little bedside music to listen to - helps me relax and rest easier than if I just try to go straight to sleep. I find Sade a very soothing and comforting artist to listen to and since I had the album its one of the regular albums that I use in this instance.
Its also great with a jug of pimms and a good book for a relaxing afternoon.

Sade is the best! This is a great CD - I also have her new CD, Soldier of Love - I listen to both of these CD's over and over again! I have to admit - she has become my very favorite female singer! I think her voice is unique and I would recommend everyone who enjoys this style of music to buy both of these CD's!
