Description:

Sade's studio recordings are so pristine that plans for a concert album at first sounded more like a way to dig deeper into the gold mine. But rather than simply rehashing a tall stack of romantic pop-R&B hits, Lovers Live documents a surprisingly vibrant live group and its warm namesake (but hardly spotlight-hogging) singer. Taken from two California dates on 2001's Lovers Rock tour, the disc reflects an obvious enthusiasm for returning to the stage after a seven-year break. "The Sweetest Taboo" especially benefits from an infusion of energy, performed at a noticeably faster pace than the already assured original version. That's not the only surprise, as the dubwise "Slave Song" acquires another dimension in this setting. In the end, Live proves much more than a cash-in on an outfit that might drop into another long hiatus at any moment. --Rickey Wright

5Evocative  Jul 09, 2007
Sade has always been one of my favorite singers. The live elements of this CD held Sade exude with her most emotive qualities.

3Could have been better  Aug 19, 2006
I purchased the DVD of this concert 2-yrs,. before I purchased the CD and was hoping to have the FULL concert on the CD. The CD represents only 50% of the concert that was on the DVD. Many great concert monments and songs were left off the CD. The band "jam" during Smooth Operator is one example. For those of us who appreciate the musicians talent, writing and production were left short.

In addition, I thought the crowd noise was to high for a live production.

The above reasons were the only reason not to give "5-stars". I only wish it would have been a double CD with the whole concert.

For those who have the resources and a good quality home DVD set-up I would highly recommend the DVD of this concert. One of the best in my collection.

5Sade on another dimension  Aug 07, 2006
Definitely get this CD. Unlike her other CDs this one makes listening to Sade tons better. The live feeling gives you goose bumps. It approximates the live concert electricity as opposed to studio-produced music that's too perfect.

5Sultry, Hot, & Cookin'! Sade Rocks! Sade Rules!   Mar 15, 2006
Superb. I usually avoid live albums, but after hearing 'Somebody Already Broke My Heart' on the car satellite radio, I knew I had to order this album right away. Sade's dreamy voice floating over solid jazz backups and the group's synergy with the audience create a completely electrifying listening experience. Extended, updated versions of 'No Ordinary Love' and 'Is It A Crime' plus the haunting 'Cherish The Day' make this comeback album a total winner. You're going to want to own the concert DVD as well, which contains additional tracks, plus the vision of Sade herself dancing to 'Paradise.' CD or DVD, both experiences are worth owning and sharing with friends. Oh, and yes: listen for the thunderstorm just before the band launches into 'Sweetest Taboo' --- like all the music on this album, a 'quiet storm.'
