oh hell yeah. I have yet to listen to a Sade album that didn't fulfull me. my fav. song off of lover's rock has to be "King of Sorrow" and "Lover's Rock".

But my favorite favorite album is "diamond life". My ultimate shit off of there is "Sally". Oh my god the way that sax plays slow and sneaky like, gives me chills down my spine.

you know, i think sade is at her best when telling stories about people's situations...Sally, Clean Heart, War Of The Heart.....she doesnt do it as much but when she does...BAMN!!! Bullet Proof Soul is sooo on hit!

missfee said:

Oh, yes.

The whole "Love Deluxe" album is so special to me. It's very connected to an important part of my life. But aside from that, this song is a complete stunner. It's not that complicated...

Another perfect example of that is "Pearls."

There is a woman in Somalia
Scraping for pearls on the roadside
There's a force stronger than nature
Keeps her will alive
This is how she's dying
She's dying to survive
Don't know what she's made of
I would like to be that brave

She cries to the heaven above
There is a stone in my heart
She lives a life she didn't choose
And it hurts like brand-new shoes

Hurts like brand-new shoes

There is a woman in Somalia
The sun gives her no mercy
The same sky we lay under
Burns her to the bone
Long as afternoon shadows
It's gonna take her to get home
Each grain carefully wrapped up
Pearls for her little girl

Hallelujah
Hallelujah

She cries to the heaven above
There is a stone in my heart
She lives in a world she didn't choose
And it hurts like brand-new shoes
Hurts like brand-new shoes

Her vocals on this song are absolutely chilling. When she sings "Hallelujah" it's so heartbreaking and beautiful, it stops you in your tracks.

I saw her do "Pearls" live in Cleveland during the 'Lovers Rock' tour.
Frickin' amazing. You're so in the moment, and totally swept away. Impossible to not be in love with her during that song.

Oh I gotta go pull out my Sade albums again!

OdysseyMiles said:

So jealous...

And isn't it impossible not to be in love with her, period?

FunkMistress said:

Yes.
I jumped up like a 12 year old girl at an N'SYNC concert when they started to play "Is It A Crime". Good gawd. My wife was heated!
Nah, she wasn't hatin' tho. What do you think is in the cd player when the lights go down?
