This surf mesmerized Sandra Dee’s Gidget and framed the volleyball game in “She’s All That.” This is where on date night Travis and Kylie dip in a steakhouse tucked in back of the Country Mart. Hawks plunge for fat mackerel, and riptides drag fools far out and forever under waves that from the shore look like peace and possibility. Moons charm bloodstreams, and dolphins model fortitude. The world’s deepest ocean appears on your left, a vast and breathing GIF. If you’re footloose and floating up Pacific Coast Highway, a blink beyond the emerald front lawn of Pepperdine University, you’ll sense a sharp rise above sea level. This is a great album and stands up well to repeat listening-I give it 5 out of 5 stars.To hear more audio stories from publications like The New York Times, download Audm for iPhone or Android. The record had a very high signal level (-1.5 dB) and was dead whisper quiet with virtually no surface noise, pops or clicks. This Music On Vinyl pressing was beautifully produced (Sade & Mike Pela), mastered (Stephen Marcussen) and pressed (Recording Industry). At 46 minutes the album is full-length and is chocked full of great listening enjoyment. Love Deluxe, her fourth album, was certified four times multi-platinum in the US and was also a commercial success world-wide.

Her songwriting and producing skills are exceptional and her voice unique and instantly recognizable-you only need to hear part of a phrase of a song to know that it is her. However you choose to pronounce her name (it’s my understanding that it’s shar-DAY, only barely voicing the “r”), Sade is a unique musical talent. It’s easy to get lost in her soulful hypnotic grooves and ballads full of yearning and heartache. Once again Sade proves that she can dish out silky smooth soul-jazz with lots of catchy melodies, grabbing musical hooks and the fiery intensity of a slow burning ember.
