Description
Sade ORIG OZ LP Diamond life EX ’84 Epic ELPS4445 R&B Quiet storm
Original OZ LP released in 1984 on Epic Records. Cat: ELPS4445. Comes in a gatefold sleeve.
When Sade released Diamond Life in their native U.K., they were already a kind of sensation. The band had scored hits with their first singles, the smoldering Top Ten ballad "Your Love Is King" and the perseverant soul anthem "When Am I Going to Make a Living," both of which only faintly resembled anything else on the chart. Magazines such as The Face and Smash Hits had published cover features, intensifying anticipation for the album. Diamond Life not only distanced Sade farther outside any context in which they were placed, whether it was the sulking sophisti-pop fraternity or the increasingly mechanized realm of contemporary R&B, but also fulfilled the promise of the singles that preceded it. Rhythms that sensitively ripple and pulse at their most active, topped with deceptively cool vocals from Sade Adu all coated with a luster -- have a way of obscuring the depth of the material to casual listeners.
Tracks : Smooth operator/ Your love is king/ Hang on to your love/ Frankie’s first affair/ When am I going to make a living/ Cherry pie/ Sally/ I will be your friend/ Why can’t we live together.
