With her exotic beauty and steamy voice, Sade couldn't help but be a star. Taking the more sensuous elements of island beats, smooth jazz, and R&B, Sade scored major hits with the continental feel of "Smooth Operator" and the sultry stylization of "Your Love Is King." Her voice was often criticized for being thin, yet she made it work to her advantage with songs like the haunting "Jezebel," on which her delivery added the vulnerability necessary to the song. Sade sounded best when she stuck to the lower register, and there is nothing thin about her dynamic handling of her torch song "Is It a Crime." "The Sweetest Taboo" was one of her last great moments before years of mediocrity, chronicled here by the lifeless "Stronger Than Pride" and the limp "Nothing Can Come Between Us." "No Ordinary Love" was a return to form with the smoky richness back in her vocals and the urban/island feel of her first release. Best of Sade goes right up to her hit "Pearls," which, remixed, became a dance floor hit. The nicest surprise here is "Please Send Me Someone to Love," with Sade proving that although her range may be limited vocally, she doesn't suffer the same fate artistically. --Steve Gdula

Average Customer Rating: 5.0 out of 5

1) Smooooov   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Joe bloggs is a clown. Sade is so smooth and sexy. Love her voice. Love this record.

2) Absolute garbage.   [Rating: 1 out of 5]
Track after track of the same beat, all songs have the same five notes, interest to barely last five minutes. This is music to fade into the background, for people who can't handle adventure in their music.

3) Sade at her Best!!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I love her voice it doesn't make you wanna go out and punch someone.To me it's very relaxing music it helps me think of life in a more positive way.Instead of hating the world all the time, and it doesn't only talk about sex.I think she is a very pretty women, and just think I'm Italian/Irish and I don't have a problem with the color of her skin or her race cause she's of the human race.Any way this album is a very worthyful album to buy, oh yeah I'm a BIG jazz liker too.LOLI rate this CD a 10 from 1to10!!

4) Outstanding   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Again, another one of my all time faves! Amazon, you have really come thru. Thanks so much!!!

5) Sade's Best!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Since the first time I heard her, I loved her soft smooth voice and her style of music. I highly recommend this album if you like R&B it will soothe your soul.
