Title: Solid but not memorable
Review: Sade is back!! Her lyrics are solid and the music is wonderful yet the union does not illuminate the soul as her previous work has done. Her pinnacle work was indeed Love Deluxe. That album exceeded all expecations. Her songs contained the same amount of sadness as her present work yet they stirred the listener and revealed a sense of hope.Lover's rock does have memorable cuts, All about our love, The king of sorrow, and The Sweetest Gift. However, some tracks are too drum and base heavy and drown out the lyrics.The live cd will illuminate the listener as to what the current songs lack. The fire and passion has fizzled and her heartache overwhelms the material. The songs lulled me yet they had no direction. Her voice is beautiful, the instrumentation is excellent but overall this cd is not is memorable.
