Sade – Diamond Life

 

Diamond Life

Sade

Former model Sade made an immediate and huge impact with her 1984 debut album, Diamond Life.

Her sound and approach were deliberately icy, her delivery and voice aloof, deadpan, and cold, and yet she became an instant sensation through such songs as “Smooth Operator” and “Your Love Is King,” where the slick production and quasi-jazz backing seemed to register with audiences thinking they were hearing a jazz vocalist.
