A monument of urban soul filled with quiet passion.
This is the debut album from the UK group Sade. Featuring tracks such as "Smooth Operator" and "Your Love Is King," it achieved worldwide success with its sophisticated sound that blends soul and jazz.
As symbolized by the resonating saxophone and rhythm in the opening track "Smooth Operator," the album creates a unique worldview where serenity and passion coexist. Sade Adu's voice is low and smooth, possessing both sensuality and calmness. The minimalist groove that permeates the entire album determined the direction of UK soul in the 1980s. The urbane and sophisticated sound design was highly praised, and it had a major influence on subsequent neo-soul and R&B.
