Diamond Life ~ 1984

Sade made an immediate and huge impact with her 1984 debut album, Diamond Life.
Her sound and approach were deliberately icy, her delivery and voice aloof, deadpan, and cold, and yet she became an instant sensation through such songs as "Smooth Operator" and "Your Love Is King," where the slick production and quasi-jazz backing seemed to register with audiences thinking they were hearing a jazz vocalist.

  1. Smooth Operator
  2. Your Love Is King
  3. Hang On To Your Love
  4. Frankies First Affair
  5. When Am I Going To Make A Living
  6. Cherry Pie
  7. Sally
  8. I Will Be Your Friend
  9. Why Can't We Live Together



Promise ~ 1985

Sade's second album; "Sweetest Taboo" was a huge hit and "Never as Good as the First Time" landed in both the R&B and pop Top 20. She was once again the personification of cool, laid-back singing, seldom extending or embellishing lyrics, registering emotion, or projecting her voice. This demeanor made her more desirable in the minds of many fans. This album topped the pop charts and eventually went triple platinum.

  1. Is It A Crime
  2. The Sweetest Taboo
  3. War Of The Hearts
  4. You're Not The Man
  5. Jezebel
  6. Mr. Wrong
  7. Punch Drunk
  8. Never As Good As The First Time
  9. Fear
  10. Tar Baby

Stronger Than Pride ~ 1988

Sade demonstrated some intensity and fire on her third release. Whether that was just an attempt to change the pace a bit or a genuine new direction, she had more animation in her delivery on such songs as "Haunt Me," "Give It Up," and the hit "Paradise." Not that she was suddenly singing in a soulful or bluesy manner; rather, Sade's dry and introspective tone now had a little more edge, and the lyrics were ironic as well as reflective.

  1. Love Is Stronger Than Pride
  2. Paradise
  3. Nothing Can Come Between Us
  4. Haunt Me
  5. Turn My Back On You
  6. Keep Looking
  7. Clean Heart
  8. Give It Up
  9. I Never Thought I'd See The Day
  10. Siempre Hay Esperanza

Lovers Rock ~ 2000

Lovers Rock, the title of Sade's first album of the 21st century, could be taken on many levels. Never before has the singer infused more mainstream rock elements into her music as evidenced by the first single, "By Your Side." That's not to say that she has eschewed her own tried-and-true brand of smoky, dusky ballads. "Somebody Already Broke My Heart," "Every Word," and "Lovers Rock" are vintage Sade.

  1. By Your Side
  2. Flow
  3. King Of Sorrow
  4. Somebody Already Broke My Heart
  5. All About Our Love
  6. Slave Song
  7. The Sweetest Gift
  8. Every Word
  9. Immigrant
  10. Lovers Rock
  11. It's Only Love That Gets You Through
