Title: Sade's new musical direction rocks!
Review: It's more than a bit unusual that an R & B torch song princess would choose to release an album of hard rock anthems backed by the likes of Sammy Hagar, Ace Frehley and Ronnie James Dio, but that's exactly what Sade has done on "Lovers Rock", her latest outing. From the fist-pumping adrenaline rush of "By Your Side" featuring a blistering guitar solo by ex-Guns and Roses axeman Slash, to the sonic heavy metal onslaught of "Slave Song", a duet with AC/DC's Brian Johnson, Sade takes no prisoners. A nice change of pace and a bold move artistically as Sade risks alienating her long-time fan base.
