Biography

Helen Folasade Adu was born in Ibadan, Nigeria. Her father was Nigerian, a university teacher of economics; her mother Anne was an English nurse. The couple met in London while he was studying at the LSE and moved to Nigeria shortly after getting married. When their daughter was born, nobody locally was prepared to call her by her English name, and a shortened version of Folasade stuck. Then, ... Read more in Amazon's Sade Store

5.0 out of 5 stars The best sade studio album 20 Nov 2003
Format:Audio CD
Personally, I have never heard anyone saying that is album is weak. When it was released, back in 1992, it was raved by critics and public as the best Sade release to date. No ordinary love became instantly a huge hit, especially since it was the main soundtrack in the Indicent proposal movie. Then, 4 more singles came out of this album and received a great deal of airplay, including Cherish the Day, Kiss of life and Feel no pain.

This was one of the best selling albums in the nineties, and still is considered to be one of the best examples of REAL Rn'B music.

With a soundproduction as clear as glass, a deep and sensual bass and Sade's unmistakable Class, this album is a Perfection.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Cultured Pearl 12 Jan 2003
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Love Deluxe is Sade's concept album on love. It is filled with the euphoria of loving and being loved romantically. But this is about love on many levels. The hearbreaking "Pearls" is about the love of a mother for her child, walking all day just to gather enough "pearls" to feed her. Even "Feel No Pain" deals with hatred in the ghetto and love being the only way out.

This wonderful and soulful effort alternates between happiness (Kiss of Life, Cherish the Day) and sorrowful regrets (Like a Tattoo, Bullet Proof Soul) and somehow manages to perfectly express both, reaching into our souls and putting into melody what we feel. It is a magical CD that you never tire of listening to.

Sade would be absent for a long time after this was released, only a "Best Of Sade" released before she came back several years later. Maybe only she knew how long it would be this time and decided to leave something wonderous to tide us over. The production is soothing and beautiful, the vocals artistry in motion. Sade reaches into her soul and lays bare both the joy and misery love can bring upon us.

This is an exquisite CD with almost a spiritual feel to it. Sade's fans (I include myself) are loving and loyal and that feeling has always been returned from Sade. This is everything that is good about music, a rich and rewarding journey into the heart. In a career filled with wonderful moments, this is her finest. Don't miss this basket of potpouri given as a gift from the lovely, talented, Sade Adu. This is a gift for the heart...

4.0 out of 5 stars Pure passion enriched. 18 Nov 2007
Format:Audio CD
Originally released in 1992, this set of highly polished songs stands the test of time, making it probably their best album to date. Touching lyrics delivered with genuine passion and no complications.

The music doesn't try to compete with the vocals, rather focuses on luscious sounds and musicianship performed with real depth of feeling, care and a controlled dynamic.

Sensitivity and compassion are order of the day here, rejoicing in life and accepting pain. No gimmicks and jokes - just a true insight into feelings enriched with love.

Looking for something different from Sade? This isn't it. There is always a common breathlessness and rhythmic sameness with her arrangements and performance. Read more
