Title: Slowburner of great soul release
Review: Well 8 years of absence wasnt so bad after all...as Sade has remerged with their brand new album Lovers Rock. The album never gets beyond mid-tempo, there's no sing-along chorus and the mood is mostly sombre. what makes the CD special is ultimately the alluring and soulful voice of Sade Adu which strings the songs together in perfection. Sade sings of love lost and love found in that perfect blend of pop/R&B-soulfulness... By Your Side, Immigrant, Every Word & Lovers Rock are some of the wonderful tracks from the Sade. Don't expect anything OTT or hip-hop, this is soul without the frills...even the entire CD packaging looks like an over-simplified accompliment. Lyrics and few pics adorn the sleeve. A proof that great music needs litle hype.
