Sade has always been the queen of soft jazzy romantic love songs. Even her more gripping songs show such emotion that you have to fall in love with them. This greatest hits album combines all the classic hits from this gorgeous performer. From the silky ´Smooth Operator´ to the forbidden ´Ordinary Love´, this album is the perfect gift for someone who loves Sade´s hits but not willing to buy the four albums she delivered before this album.
Even more interesting is the fact that Sade redid some of her older hits to make them sound more current for the production of the album. Songs which were too long were cut and some of the music was streamlined. A real Sade fan will want to get the older albums to hear both versions, but fans of her hits will enjoy the fresh and clean production.
The Best of Sade is the perfect collection of love songs and a wonderful gift for anyone, especially on Valentine´s Day.

Album Notes
Sade: Sade Adu (vocals); Stuart Matthewman (guitar, saxophone); Andrew Hale (keyboards); Paul S. Denman (bass). Additional personnel includes: Leroy Osbourne, Jake Jacas (vocals); Gordon Hunte (guitar); Tony Pleeth (cello); Terry Bailey, Gordon Matthewman (trumpet); Pete Beachill (trombone); Dave Early, Martin Ditcham (drums, percussion); Paul Cooke, Trevor Murrell (drums); Karl Vanden Bossche (percussion). Producers: Robin Millar, Ben Rogan, Mike Pela, Sade, Hein Hoven. Engineers: Mike Pela, Ben Rogan. Digitally remastered by Tom Coyne (Sterling Sound, New York, New York). Nigerian vocalist Sade Adu has carved out a cosmpolitan niche for herself over the past decade, gathering together elements of cool jazz, samba, reggae, funk and pop all under the pastoral umbrella of her suede-and-velvet voice. A pop stylist with a musical universe all her own, Sade has endured and matured over the past decade, seemingly unaffected by changes in taste and fashion--a movement unto herself. As her most recent single (Percy Mayfield's "Please Send Me Someone To Love" from the PHILADELPHIA soundtrack) illustrates, Sade's coy caressing voice speaks more of commitment and trust, of relationships in flux ("Nothing Can Come Between Us") than of the heat of the moment: from the the coy duplicity of "Smooth Operator" to the positive reinforcement of "The Sweetest Taboo" and the sweet ambiguities of "Love Is Stronger Than Pride." Outside of Sade's mentholated vocals, it is the serene, understated quality of her arrangements that lend THE BEST OF SADE its classic touch of elegance. Delicate washes of percussion and acoustic guitar, the coiled intensity of Stewart Matthewman's tenor saxophone counterpoint, Andrew Hale's suave, elusive keyboard colorations, and Paul S. Denman's discretely dancing bass provide a maximum of smoke, but precious little fire. The simmering aftermath of Sade's music is as deceptively powerful as a mixed drink: smooth and sweet going down, but with a surprisingly potent kick.
