 (3 Customer Reviews)
Digitally remastered by Tom Coyne (Sterling Sound, New York, New York).
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.
Also available as a 3-pack with PROMISE and LOVE DELUXE.

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....

Whether it's the look in his eyes, or the heartfelt soul within each note that he sings.Mirahj has the innate ability to capture the heart of each and every person who has the opportunity of listening to his music. Growing up, he was by nature outgoing at times and shy at others. Friends called him "contemplative" which ended up being an asset to his musical abilities, giving him a creative edge and a passion that can be rivaled only by the likes of some of the world's most outstanding musicians.Mirahj has a distinct style of his own, created by a beautiful entanglement of traits derived from musicians who have influenced him through the years. A hint of Smokey Robinson in his silky smooth vocals. An ...

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 piano instruction and six years of songwriting, Kaeli has produced her first self-titled demo CD filled with melodies straight from her heart. It is available for retail sale and a big hit at her concerts. Her abilities were recognized in 2003 when she was part of the team to win the grand prize in the Yoko Ono “Dream Power” original music competition. Kaeli Jensen is a big surprise in a small package. She emanates a genuine light that can only come from within. Lovely and poised, she is destined to be the artist and voice that stands out with her message of joy and love in this world filled with angst-driven ...
