The Best of Sade is indeed that. A collection of sixteen of the very best songs she's produced to this point. With her exotic beauty and steamy voice it seems as though it was her destiny to be a star. Her voice is the very definition of smooth and has over the years become her trademark. She showcases the very best of her vocal talents on tracks like Smooth Operator, The Sweetest Taboo, and the emotionally gripping Jezebel. I've always felt No Ordinary Love is a very powerful song. Gives me that feeling that it is being delivered from deep inside the soul of this outstanding artist. As do a lot of Sade's songs. This is truly one of those rare CDs you can literally get lost in. Every song as good as the one before it. Overall The Best of Sade is an outstanding release. What I call, must have music. I give it two thumbs up. While this entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are Your Love Is King [track 1], No Ordinary Love [track 11], and Kiss Of Life [track 13]. My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 7, Never As Good As The First Time. Very nice!
