Ep. 69: Sade - Diamond Life

The eighties were a time of maximalism, so of course one of the biggest records was...a smooth jazzy pop affair? Sade's "Diamond Life" right in your earballs this week on EarWax.Sade is NOT a brand, but we are comfortable saying they are a whole mood. And it starts front and center. Elegant vocals that seem effortless, basslines that add more than a dash of funk, and a songwriting chemistry that brought us a record that stands out in its simplicity."Diamond Life" is the launching point of a career brilliantly navigated by a group who are more than comfortable operating on their terms.Thanks for listening!
