Title: A Bit Disappointing
Review: I guess I should've known better than to think after 8 years, Sade would not change her sound, but....I found Lover's Rock quite disappointing. I've gotten used to the tunes after hearing the CD several times, and it is now tolerable. But comparing it to the unforgettable jazzy and seductive songs like in "Promise", this one fails to deliver. I found some of the guitar here to be somewhat "choppy" and "squeaky", and it was almost as if I'm hearing folk music instead of smooth jazz. Although, I'm giving it more than 1 star because her voice is still undeniably excellent and above the rest. Yet, some artists need to realize that change isn't always good, and trying to "update" your sound doesn't always mean success. Sade, it's your old sound that made you an icon in the first place, and is also the reason why fans still yearn for you after all these years...so bring it back!
