Digitally remastered by Tom Coyne (Sterling Sound, New York, New York).
After two LPs with little or no energy, Sade demonstrated some intensity and fire on her third release. Whether that was just an attempt to change the pace a bit or a genuine new direction, she had more animation in her delivery on such songs as "Haunt Me," "Give It Up," and the hit "Paradise." Not that she was suddenly singing in a soulful or bluesy manner; rather, Sade's dry and introspective tone now had a little more edge, and the lyrics were ironic as well as reflective. This was her third consecutive multi-platinum album, and it matched the two-million-plus sales level of her debut. ~ Ron Wynn

Excellent CD! Excellent CD start to finish. Both "Paradise" and "Keep Looking" are jams that are simply classics. The last track is an instrumental that will convince you just how good the band is. Submitted by percyjohnson28269 (Charlotte, NC) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
SADE IS 'PARADISE' TO YOUR EARS! THIS ALBUM AS WELL AS ALL OTHERS IS AN AWSOME MUSICAL ESCAPE. SADE IS VERY GOOD FOR SETTING A ROMANTIC MOOD OR FOR SIMPLY JUST RELAXING. ESCAPE AND ENJOY SADE, IT'S A GREAT EXPERIENCE EVERY TIME YOU LISTEN. AND IF YOU LIKE SADE, TRY HER BAND'S EFFORT..."SWEETBACK"! Submitted by TMCLOMAN (KALAMAZOO, MI) Was This Review Helpful?
