Scanning through Spotify this afternoon, I happened across 'Sade' . . . I remember when she hit the hifi world in the 80's, 'Diamond Life' was an often used demo record. Sadly that album was obviously a casualty of my misguided clear out in my previous life, I did have copy.
Spotify has saved the day . . . I am listening and enjoying again to her smooth presentation of 'Diamond Life', 'Stronger Than Pride'. I dipped into one or two tracks of reissues, remasters and more modern offerings . . . not a patch on those early recordings IMHO. However I'm listening to a 2011 release; 'SADE, Bring Me Home - Live 2011' . . . I do enjoy live recordings, this is no exception, volume up, capturing all the atmosphere, some strong base, but her voice comes through perfectly, great atmospheric backing on the track 'Morning Bird' currently playing.
Sade, an artist for me to revisit selectively on Spotify and one for me to look out for in the charity shop jaunts.
