Sade / Promise LP Vinyl

Sade 'Promise' LP Vinyl

Promise, from 1985, is the ideal second album from London based band Sade, firmly establishing their template without retreading the same material of the band’s debut. The album feels like a volume in a series, as does each subsequent addition to Sade’s catalog.

Promise is lush and unhurried, reclining somewhere between jazz, Brazilian pop, and soul. Multiple articles and reviews from the time of release leaned on the same descriptor for the singer, the band, and the music: “cool.” And boy do we agree!
