Sade, Stronger Than Pride, 1988 on Epic

Third studio LP from the group Sade, named after singer Sade Adu and including (on this LP) Stuart Matthewman, Andrew Hale, and Paul Denman. What a fantastic run they had in the 80s and early 90s: Diamond LIfe, Promise, Stronger Than Pride, and Love Deluxe are all fantastic. I could just put “Turn My Back On You” itself on repeat for hours.

While all of Sade’s albums have been reissued, including in a six album box set – my copy (via Slipped Disc during a record fair at Mill No. 5 in Lowell MA) is a Columbia Carrollton pressing from 1988. Exciting to find one still with the custom inner sleeve.

Sade / Stronger Than Pride (1988); Ein weiteres zeitloses Werk von Sade Adu, das Eleganz und Emotion perfekt miteinander verbindet. Mit ihrem unverkennbaren Mix aus Soul, Jazz und R&B liefert Sade ein Album, das in seiner Zurückhaltung genauso kraftvoll ist wie in seinen intensiveren Momenten.
