LOVERS ROCK won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album.

Examining the career of former model/fashion design student Helen Folasade Adu, it's apparent that the span between studio albums increased exponentially. Eight years after LOVE DELUXE, the original members of Sade's band regrouped and here recapture the magic of the former ensemble. The vocals on LOVERS ROCK are unmistakably sensual and enchanting. Guitarist Stuart Matthewman steers clear of the crunchy electric sound that was his signature on LOVE DELUXE, the one exception being "Somebody Already Broke My Heart," which has some tasty understated percussive palm muting in the choruses.

From an instrumental perspective, LOVERS ROCK leans a bit more to the electronic side, but technology doesn't dampen the atmosphere and simple beauty of the music. Not surprisingly, the focus continues to be the sweet, often mournful melodies of a unique pop vocalist.

Recorded between September 1999 & August 2000.

Spin (1/01, pp.113-4) - 8 out of 10 - "...An airy album, demo-like in its simplicity....Sade has never put out anything quite so ephemeral....practically hanging in the air like mist....devastating..."
Q (12/00, pp.132-3) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Attractively bespoke..."
Mixmag (12/00, p.181) - 5 out of 5 - "...Her glorious, bretahy vocals and raw and emotive production are as untainted and timeless as ever..."
Vibe (12/00, pp.195-6) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...proves that such a remarkable voice can survive 8 years between albums and still sound vital. Her voice is controlled, elegant, and radiantly cool - so beautiful, so simple, so necessary..."
Mojo (Publisher) (12/00, pp.110-1) - "...[Her] appealingly blank vocals are intricately layered and the delicate, spacious arrangements...underline her desolate quality....it still goes well with cocktails..."

5 stars An angel stuck on earth...
Sade is by far the temptest of love...her voice reminds me that life without love is death. The "artists" that perform now, and in the future, should have to attend class on class. Sade would be the book of knowledge...

3 stars soulfull
Like fine wine, Sade just gets better with time. That voice is heaven. The whole composition is great. Remember reading reviews like this is really useless. Music unlike many other things in life speaks directly to your soul. There is no bad or good music, all that matters is that you enjoy it. Others have opinions-but they do not matter.

U2 All That You Can't Leave Behind CD  (2000)

Lovers Rock
CD $10.39  3.7 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
"Beautiful Day" won the 2001 Grammy Awards for Record Of The Year, for Song Of The Year and for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. ALL THAT YOU CAN'T LEAVE BEHIND won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. "Walk On" won the 2002 Grammy Award for Record Of The Year. "Elevation" won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. "Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of" won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. Seldom has an album title been as appropriate as ALL THAT YOU CAN'T LEAVE BEHIND. Here, U2 returns to its pre-irony '80s glory days with a straightforward rock approach, leaving behind the electronics and intentional mock-decadence of POP and ZOOROPA. It quickly ...

CD $7.05  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Also available in a 3-pack with DIAMOND LIFE and LOVE DELUXE. Digitally remastered by Tom Coyne (Sterling Sound, New York, New York). PROMISE, Sade's 1985 follow-up to her phenomenally successful debut, has the same breezy, sophisticated R&B approach as DIAMOND LIFE, sounding like a cross between light jazz and a low-key nightclub set of torch songs. Sade's detached, understated vocals are the epitome of cool, and while her technical range is limited--her performances are never about pyrotechnics--her ...

Lovers Rock
CD $7.59  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
"No Ordinary Love" won the 1994 Grammy Award for "Rhythm-and-Blues Duo or Group With Vocal." With her smooth, smoky, soul-pop sound and elegant image, Sade became a ubiquitous figure in the mid 1980s, turning out hit after hit with her first three albums. After an unusually long gap of four years, she delivered the final album of her career's initial phase, LOVE DELUXE. None of the songs here radically depart from the style Sade established on her earlier recordings; her soft, cooing, breathy vocal style--sort of a Julie London for the '80s--and mellow, jazz-tinged ...

CD $9.29  4.9 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
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 ...
