Editorial Reviews :
Sade's brand of elegant pop/R&B owned the charts in the '80s, making the Nigerian/British chanteuse one of those artists whose very name becomes the adjective to describe their sound. After an eight-year layoff, Sade and her core band (and longtime producer Mike Pela) are back with a CD that is both a stunning reaffirmation of her artistry and a solid soulful collection. Perhaps the best thing that can be said about Lovers Rock is that it picks up where Sade left off, which means you will hear no cool beats or hot hired hands or hip-hop cameos. This is Sade music, and on the first single, 'By Your Side,' she glides back into the spotlight on gentle, countryish, sparse wings--singing, once again, about love's power to redeem. Of course, Sade knows that love can stink: listen to the dub-riddim-tinged 'Every Word' and cry tears of recognition. Decidedly female but utterly universal, grown up yet not hardened, Lovers Rock ranks as one of the best of the year, and marks the return of a true original.
Buyer Reviews :
'Lover's Rock' the newest album from Sade is nothing but beauty, plain and simple. Once again, she has remained true to her artistry. You have honest, touching lyrics and beautiful uncomplicated, natural melodies. To bring it all together, Sade sings with her truly unique voice. A voice so plainful and smoky, yet tender and melodical. It commands the listener. The first track, 'By Your Side' is classic. Melody, sweet vocals, it doesn't get better than this. 'King of Sorrow', 'It's All About Our Love' Wow...Sade improves with time. I can't wait to hear what's next!! I pray it won't be another 8 years of waiting. The production here is basic yet striking. The fact that you can hear the guitarists fingers sliding back and forth on the neck creates an intimate vibe. Sade has done it again..I feel it's the best album of 2000 easily. No fancy gimmicky knock offs here. Just wonderful songs that are delivered by a truly original artist. Lovers Rock is a rock you should all get onto and hold tight!!
