I went to an army surplus store to buy some camouflage trousers, but couldn't find any.

Sade does not sing with the greatest voice you've heard.
Stand her amongst her band and she makes for a pretty impressive performer.
If the mention of Sade has you reciting her earlier hits such as 'Your Love is King' and 'Smooth Operator', then you're in for a similar dish when you listen to this album. Of course, a quick fry-up is tasty and somewhat satisfying, but marinate the meat for at least 24 hours and you're in for a meal that will have you reaching for some candles and a bottle of wine... Look up the word 'Lossom' and you'll get the full flavour of how Sade (stood amongst her band) is lilting her lullabies in Lovers Rock.
Of course, you may detect a certain bias from a fan; but even when her most loyal fans anticipate the release of a new collection of tracks, they are hoping there are no disappointments - and Sade delivers - with smooth and sultry sentiments.
Most tracks are written by herself and the ever present Stuart Matthewman (Guitar and Woodwinds). With Andrew Hale (Keyboards) and Paul Denman (Bass) the signature sound lives on from the days of 'Diamond Life' and 'Promise'. Matthewman's influence is un-mistakeable however, his sexy saxophone playing seems to have taken a sabbatical on this particular album.
If Sade flicks your switch, this is a great album for a top-up. For the first-time-buyer, it is the perfect start to take a ride of retrospect and discover why you never bought any of her earlier material.

Quite a good start but more info would have been nicer. Have a look at other music opinions by other and make a few changes and you are sure to get higher ratings. Jacqui

Advantages: Refreshing classical piano, promising vocal talent Disadvantages: None that can't be put up with - although there are few out of place tracks towards the beginning
