Former model 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. ~ Ron Wynn
Sade crept up on the music market when they were least expecting it. The surprise hit 'Your Love Is King' was a very mature record for the singles market and one that opened the door to smooth soul-based pop. This album proved that she was no fluke and it became one of the most acclaimed debuts of all time. Sade rode out the publicity and coped with everything; for once the music did the talking. 'Smooth Operator' put her back in the pop charts but it was the overall class and confidence of the whole album that makes it so darn good. Her reading of Timmy Thomas's 'Why Can't We Live Together' is a highlight.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Ooh Lah Lah It's SADE!
She has the sexiest voice on the planet. Plain and simple. No one I mean no one can top her vocals. Smooth and sultry and every song just ooozes with sensuality all over the place. Buy this CD and you will be hooked on SADE for the rest of your life. Pick up all her other CD's here. They are sure to please you. She is definitely a "SMOOTH OPERATOR". I rest my case.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Hot, cool, classy sex
This album is dripping with dark, primal lust. If I hear just one line of any of these songs, I gotta hear the whole song, the whole cd!, or I'll be pissed. I compare every new singer songwriter performer wanna be to Sade and they always lose. Can't believe we're on the same planet, but never will meet....

Diamond Life
$12.65
Will Young needs no introduction. He was voted the UK's favorite Pop Idol, & shot into the Guinness Book of Records with the fastest selling debut single of all time. He also recently appeared on the US show, 'American Idol' which was seen by millions of viewers. With a timeless quality all of its own, & yet instantly recognizable as Will Young, this myriad of jazz & soul influences makes 'From Now On' a must have. Will has worked with some of the most renowned song writers in the world including Cathy Dennis & Burt Bacharach. 13 tracks. BMG. 2002.
The first album by British heartthrob, Will Young.
Six months after the nation voted him Britain's first Pop Idol, Will Young faces a much more daunting prospect than singing in front of Simon Cowell: the pressure of releasing one of the most eagerly awaited debut pop albums of recent times. Considering fellow TV popstars Hear'Say took just six weeks to record their rather forgettable first effort, the fact that From Now On hasn't been rush-released bodes well. Not that you'd know it from its first three singles. Simon Cowell is undoubtedly a shrewd businessman who knows where the money is, but his artistic merit is virtually zero. Young proved himself to be one of the most gifted and unique vocalists a U.K. talent show ...

| | Roger Sanchez Come With Me CD (2006) (Import) Australia; Enhanced CD
Diamond Life
$25.59
Treasured as a world-shaking, chart-topping transatlantic titan of house music, Roger Sanchez is one of the most recognisable DJ/producers in the international dance music industry. However, should you genuinely wish to identify the Grammy award-winning artist in the summer of 2006 then you will need to immerse yourself in the exquisite Balearic magic of his hot new album. Written and recorded, for the most part, at Roger’s own private studio on the inspiring Spanish island of Ibiza, "Come With Me" is an autobiographical journey into the inner sanctum of a long-standing clubland legend. Five years since his critically acclaimed debut album, First Contact, was unleashed, and two and a half years in the making, Come With Me paints an authentic soul-soaked picture of the man behind the music. Comprised of 11 enchanting lyrical compositions that help further ...

Kaeli Jensen, singer/songwriter/composer, has spent the past few years refining her skills while performing locally at several different venues and showcases. She is now being requested to do shows out of state as well. This summer she has been requested to perform at the Cherry Hill Resort in Kaysville, Utah. She was asked to do a performance at Brigham Young Historical Park in Salt Lake City for their Summer Concert Series of 2007. Many vie for this much-coveted spot with its central, downtown location and its very exclusive practices for hiring performers. At an autumn showcase in 2006, Kaeli was chosen out of several artists to do a performance and interview for local television station CW30 and their program, “Spotlight Utah.”Time and time again, Kaeli’s talent rises above other artists giving her opportunities to perform. In July of 2006, the South Salt Lake Events Manager Tim Williams chose Kaeli Jensen above the multitude of other artists desiring to perform at their fourth of July celebration, Freedom Festival, to perform a forty-five minute set with her original music, including the emotional and heartfelt song, American to Me, an original song written by Kaeli as a reaction to the 9/11 tragedy. Her song shows the maturity and depth of passion Kaeli possesses and it expresses how deeply it affected her life while passing by most other young people her age.Ms. Jensen has been performing since she was a young girl and has participated in performances with such prestigious artists as Kurt Bestor, Peter Breinholt, Sam Cardon, and Jessie Clark Funk. Even now at her current age, still considered young by industry standards, Kaeli could easily be considered a seasoned performer, traveling to such faraway places as Japan as a featured soloist. Kaeli captured the attention of the Salt Lake City Olympic Committee, along with Kenny Ortega, who included her in the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2002 Olympics. With eleven years ...
