Sade's "Promise" turns 20 this year!!!

This album is sultry, haunting, beautiful, etc. etc. etc. I am listening to it right now and I thought . . . wow, it's 20 years old!

How has it aged for you?

Damn you just reminded me of how old I'm getting...


I like Promise but I always thought Stronger than Pride was the better album.

My favorites are:
Is It Crime
The Sweetest Taboo
Jezebel
& Punch Drunk

singlehandedly one of the most depressing albums ever. Don't listen to this if you've just broken up with someone and are heartbroken. I cried over this album for months after my very first boyfriend ditched me. We dated for about 4 months and as soon as he screwed me I never saw him again.... sigh

This is my favorite Sade album. The tragedy of it is just so attractive nod

Yeah, listening to her after a break might make you wanna jump out of a window, so will Phyllis Hyman.

this album is as
beautiful
as romantic
as haunting
& as BRILLIANT as it was 20 (damn, it HAS been) years ago.

this has always been my favorite Sade album; to me, on Promise Sade reveals an "emotional depth" (or vulnerability?) that I haven't felt on other albums..
especially on that "rollercoaster" of a song Is It A Crime..


it dives
& it jumps
& it ripples like
the deepest ocean..
I'll see you tonight..
in ALL MY DREAMS..

Indeed. OdysseyMiles gets over his closed head injury I will hip y'all to one simple, irrefutable fact: Sade is mine, once my lawyer gets that court order "dealted with."

My Mom brought this CD when it came out and we both liked it. It is a classic. I need to buy it for myself. Have they remastered the CD?
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Don't frown. It'll take longer for that injury to heal.

I found myself wandering in the wicked cold. But like an addict, I couldn't put it down. I gotta get the remastered version.
