Sade has the voice of an angel. With some amazing lyrics, singing and instrumentation it’s really hard for anyone to say this is not an amazing album. Sades voice just belongs to the somber tracks which she presides over. Her whole discography is sophisticated and soulful; the epitome of music. A generational talent.
Hang on to your love - long version is probably one of my all time favourite songs.
