Title: Artificial beats weigh Sade down
Review: I just couldn't get into this album at all. Sade tends to cover the same ground over & over again, but this time it is hampered by tinny, artificial beats. Drum programming was expected in the 80s, but Sade bucked the trend at that time & in doing so was a breath of fresh air. Now it seems like she's giving in to it, 15 years later. Who knows why. It sounds both dated & trendy at once. If you want to hear Sade at her best, pick up "Diamond Life" or "Promise". This one rings false.
