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, when… Read more in Amazon's Sade Store

The definitive Sade album - start with this one! 30 Sep 2001

By Mr

Format:Audio CD

I first listened to this on a personal stereo in the dark of an overnight coach trip to France in 1988 at aged 15 or so..best way to describe this album is that I can remember exactly the first time I listened to it.. romantic, heart tugging,easy listening, dinner music, background music, dance with your partner in the front room music... the album fits a hundred different moods.

Is It A Crime says how most of us MUST have felt at some stage in our lives - there is a touch of melancholy behind what I find a very positive and uplifting album. Sweetest Taboo (remix Shola Ama a couple of years ago)and Never Good As The First Time (this strikes a chord for all) are the other heavyweight tracks with Tar Baby, Fear and another couple drifting you into a peaceful state of mind.. and You're Not The Man applies to both men and women in and out of relationships..
First date or 25th Anniversary - you can't beat this album for rekindling a bit of romance - you only need to sway from side to side to enjoy it.

Try this one before more modern Love Deluxe.

Blue is the Color of the Red Sky 13 Jan 2003

By A Customer

Format:Audio CD

Blue is the color of this second Sade album. Her music has always been an eclectic mix of light jazz and blues, and in her follow up to the more jazz oriented "Diamond Life" she colored this one with the blues. There are still some fast and rhythmic tunes (The Sweetest Taboo, Maureen) but this one is slower and more thoughtful. From "Mr. Wrong" and "Tar Baby" to "War of the Hearts" we are taken on a journey into the heart, always treacherous as Sade shows.

Her spicy and rain filled "The Sweetest Taboo" and the fast moving anthem to our youth and friends lost, "Maureen" (a song which still gets a lot of jazz airplay), are placed in just the right sequence to balance out the downbeat "Jezebel" and the absolutely haunting "Fear," a meditative song of a girl in fear for the life of her young Matador, waiting anxiously to see if this will be the night he does not return.

This one is like a hypnotic trance and a 'must have' in your Sade catalog. It is truly origional and great, a perfect companion to "Diamond Life." Go back and pick up this magnificent work of art. It sounds better than ever and like all Sade's music, is timeless....

The best of Sade 7 May 2011

By crouchjane

Format:Audio CD

There was always something missing in my collection but not any more. What can I say, just amazing. Just the first lines of the first track make me pause for a moment and enjoy her music and her voice; and then I want to do only one thing... volume up and play the rest. Amazing CD. Amazing Sade!

Sade "Promimse"

Excellent, have been trying to track this down "forever" Thank you Amazon ur the best..and so is Sade of course..

Published 4 months ago by TraceyBlu

Not as good as the first time..

The "difficult" follow-up album to the bestseller "Diamond Life" is a sobering but, nontheless, decent musical experience. Read more
