Sade, it's time for another INSTANT CLASSIC!
I haven't written many reviews on Amazon and I honestly waivered between whether I wanted to chime in on how great 2Pac's All Eyez On Me double CD is or how much rock is missing a kick a$$ album like GNR's Appetite for Destruction. It's funny. After recently watching the Lovers Rock concert DVD I settled somewhere in the middle.

I am a product of the 80's & 90's and I can honestly say that I feel that Sade is in a class all her own. Madonna, Janet, Mariah, Whitney, and the others all are great artist in their own right but Sade's uncompromising and unfaltering sound is truely timesless.

On Lovers Rock Sade does not dissapoint. She elavates her artistry and offers her fans the purest view of her soul that we have ever seen. I believe that this album was released in 1999 and after truely "listening" to it for the first time in a few years I can see why it takes Sade so long to craft each album. Sade truely pours her heart and soul into her work.

I will not give the track by track break down of songs. All that I will tell you is that if you like I am a TRUE fan of all REAL music then you MUST own this CD. PERIOD! If you don't already own this CLASSIC I strongly recommend that you pick up the DVD/CD combo pack. You won't be disapointed!

Sade, please provide your fans with another work of your masterful art. It's truely LONG over due. .


My favorite CD
I've been listening to this CD for years and never get tired of it. I love every song on this CD! My two favorite's are Every Word and By Your Side. I love it! :).


Sade continues to sing music to my ears..
From start to finish, each of her CD's tells a series of stories that anyone who's been in love can relate to. I've been listening to Sade since her debut and she never ceases to amaze me with wonderful vocals. Her voice captures all those emotions and lulls you into that 'special' place in your heart. Sade will always be a part of my music collection.


Lovers Schlock
For 15 years before the release of 'Lovers Rock' in 2001, I've grasped onto an iota of desperation that she will at the very least equal her enjoyable-cum-guilty pleasure debut in 1985. Nothing is more brain atrophying than being conned by someone you initially had such hopes for. But all that's manifested every few years - as well as on 'Lovers Rock' - is a DOA compendium of lethargic tunes whispered in a voice so consistent in its tone-deaf monotony it's actually soporific. As usual, the band's competence is in tact, grooving along to its fullest groove, brought way down by Ms. Adu's emotionless non-voice. You wake up from slumber unperturbed; you stretch your arms in new relaxation. . . only to feel conned all over again. My grade: C+.


a review of this CD, not Sade
Take a look at all the 4 and 5 star reviews. . nearly every one praises Sade the artist, her voice, how we fell in love with her first album, etc. I'm sorry, I love most of Sade's work, but I don't rate a CD 4 or 5 stars simply because I like the artist as a whole. If you look for honest reviews of this CD, I agree with them- this is easily her weakest work. It's simply boring. And where's her band? I don't believe they're on here- and they're sorely missed- there's no sax, and the drum machine is VERY annoying. Anyway, I had to add this to balance all the 4 and 5 star reviews. Her other albums are 4 and 5 star, not this one.
