Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com
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

5 out of 5 stars One of the best cds ever   November 5, 2008
This cd is a quality compilation of Sade's greatest hits. It takes you back to classic Sade and allows you to lose yourself in the possibility of unusual love. For the young and old alike. Buy it.


5 out of 5 stars She doesn't know about it but ...   September 13, 2008
Sade and I go a way back. Her music helped me through some rough times fifteen years ago. Times are much better for me now and but I still love her music. She and Thom Yorke are the only artists that get five stars on my iPod. ;-)

Eat your hearts out Ludwig van Beethoven (you old cranky bastard) and Herbert von Karajan. I wish I could tell Sade how much her music meant to me.




5 out of 5 stars Sade   August 18, 2008
The Sade CD is a great investment if you enjoy listening to relaxing music. It is smooth and sexy and sets the mood.


5 out of 5 stars CD- The Best of Sade   July 26, 2008
The Best of Sade
I have enjoyed Sade on the radio at 94.7 "The Wave" in LA.I wanted this cd and found it on Amazon.I'm very pleased with my purchase.



5 out of 5 stars One of the most incredible CD's   July 2, 2008
No matter what mood I'm in, I'm in the mood for Sade. This CD combines all her best hits and some that I didn't even know about until I bought the CD. A great value as it's been years since it's release but trust me...it will make you feel good and transport you to a serene place.
