The woman who can single-handedly take credit for the
staggering population boom of the late '80s returns after
nearly a decade of self-imposed quietude. Helen Folsade Adu,
known simply as Sade, follows 1992's splendid Love Deluxe
(which birthed the hit "No Ordinary Love") with an album
that makes clear she is still as single-minded as ever.
Saxophones may have given way to tasteful acoustic guitars,
and the rhythms might nod to recent masterstrokes by Massive
Attack and Everything but the Girl, but the tone and
temperament on Lovers Rock remains resolutely the same, from
the lush melancholy of "King of Sorrow" to the dub-inflected
sensuality of the title track.
While there is always a slight temptation to write off
Sade's music as the equivalent of aural wallpaper -- a
watery offshoot of FM radio's universal waiting-room
soundtrack, quiet storm -- she delivers every word, every
sentiment, and every pastel-colored soul-jazz melody with so
much grace that one can't help but feel utterly seduced by
the majesty of it all.
Negligible lyrics come across as lost and lovelorn, like the
sound of the singer's broken heart distilled into pure
emotion. "You think I would leave you down / When you're
down on your knees / I wouldn't do that," she invokes on the
opening "By Your Side." It'll do you in every time.

▓ [ about us ] ▓
▒ iRO is an internal release group, which means we ▒
░ release outside of the regular mp3 scene. We do this ░
purely for the public, so you can hear that hard-to-
░ find album, that release you could never find the ░
scene rip of, and the actual retails of albums at
proper quality standards so you can decide whether
you really want to buy them or not; all without
asking for anything in return.
Also, unlike our predecessors, iRO gives back first
to the people who do all the work, the rippers. With
this thought at heart, all members have an equal say
in all group decisions and are welcome in all group
channels. Equality, quality and democracy, values
all good groups should share.
We are currently looking for fast ftps to serve as
pubs and member sites, as well as xdcc shell
providers. If you can help out by providing one of
these to this noble cause please come visit us in
#iRO on EFNET and leave a message with a member.
