"Maureen" has been my discovery.

Love Deluxe is such a darkly gorgeous album. Easily my favorite.

I suspect these guys are ruthlessly efficient and only work on the few numbers that make the album but I would love to hear an expanded "Deluxe Love Deluxe" with demos, odds and ends

After a week of Sade revision my current rankings would be
Love Deluxe Stronger Than PrideDiamond Life PromiseSoldier Of LoveLovers Rock (this is the only one I've not fully connected with)

love deluxe and stronger than pride are def the top two
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Sunday, 3 February 2019 17:19 (five years ago) link
Agree those are the top two but Lovers Rock is the one I've been going too recently. It's Only Love That Gets You Through rules all.

Heh -- I'm working on something now.

Suffice it to say that Promise is their best but STP has proven the most sonically influential.
― Your sweetie-pie-coo-coo I love ya (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 3 February 2019 17:54 (five years ago) link
Love Deluxe will always be my #1 because that's the tour I saw her on. Digable Planets opened.
― grawlix (unperson), Sunday, 3 February 2019 18:24 (five years ago) link
It’s the clear #1
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Sunday, 3 February 2019 19:21 (five years ago) link
Love Deluxe has been my number one for a while, but I can feel Stronger Than Pride catching it up. One thing I'm finding is that there's really not much between Promise and Diamond Life for me these days.

I feel like if you think the answer to this poll is easy or clear then maybe you need to spend more time listening to Sade.
― Tim F, Sunday, 3 February 2019 23:16 (five years ago) link
My ranking -- good times come and they go.
― Your sweetie-pie-coo-coo I love ya (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 4 February 2019 03:30 (five years ago) link
Another double, Alfred: you ranked “Turn My Back On You” twice. Is it a feature or a bug?
― breastcrawl, Monday, 4 February 2019 09:00 (five years ago) link
Nah, it's editing.

I got another song in, though.
MOP By Your Side remix is kind of genius https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwAcM8BiBck
Stronger Than Pride destroying my world album-wise rn. Chills down the spine @ Haunt Me.

I wish I had a time machine so I could throw “All About Our Love” onto mixtapes I made for any of relationships I was in circa 2000-2005. Slinky jam.
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Tuesday, 28 September 2021 03:13 (two years ago) link
The run from Promise through Lover's Rock is basically unimpeachable.
The first and final albums are great too, but the only ones where I don't think "this is definitely the best Sade album" while they're playing.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 28 September 2021 08:17 (two years ago) link
hot take: besides love deluxe —which is in my all time top ten, maybe even top five— stronger than pride is far and away their best album.
secondary hot take: diamond life is their worst album.
tertiary hot take: solider of love is better than diamond life by about two or three astronomical units.
bonus track: diamond life is overrated as hell.
― things repeat forever and there never is a remedy (Austin), Tuesday, 28 September 2021 15:52 (two years ago) link
your tertiary take and bonus track are remixes of your secondary take. in any case i can't agree but i respect the strong opinion.
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 28 September 2021 17:11 (two years ago) link
okay now I am obsessed with “I Couldn’t Love You More”, I want to build a home inside of these two piano chords and live there forever

"Cherry Pie" y'all
― So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 16 January 2022 17:00 (two years ago) link
here is where i remind everyone that you can play “cherry pie” at 45 and mix it with house and 2-step

I really like this raw house edit of “couldn’t love you more”, by Florian Kupfer I thinkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLNV6Pmv5t0
― brimstead, Thursday, 10 March 2022 23:00 (two years ago) link
once a year or so i go looking for sade remixes again, didn't know about that one - sounds pretty good
"by your side" had a few good ones, i really like this moodymann take on it
