Sade

Promise (Epic 19658784811) continues Sade’s legacy of refined soul with even deeper intimacy. Released in 1985, it expands the band’s sonic palette—subtle funk grooves, cinematic arrangements and Sade’s voice at its most hauntingly calm. Standouts like “The Sweetest Taboo” and “Never as Good as the First Time” radiate quiet passion. The reissue’s vinyl mastering captures the smooth bass and detailed midrange beautifully. Elegant, timeless, and pure late-night magic.
