Edited 4 years agoAs a note, some of the songs have an exclusive mix. "Paradise" apart from being shorter has not the loud drum of the original, but probably the most noticeable change is in "Cherish the day", where some nelleehopperish details were added to make it even funkier. "Never as good as the first time" also changes quite a few details, feeling like a re recording.
This compilation does not have everything but it is among the better paced of them. -
Mostly when artists release a "Best of" album, it looks like just earning money with old stuff. But this one isn't like that. The Best of Sade is one is the best long plays I'd ever heard. From the first to the last title I enjoy the modern baseline harmonizing with a lot of different classic instruments, crowned with the unique voice of Sade. This long play is a real "evergreen". Thank you Sade, for this great stuff!!!
