Sade Adu's cool, unhurried delivery sat against jazz-inflected arrangements and understated funk grooves in a way that felt genuinely new, drawing comparisons to everything from soul and bossa nova to quiet storm R\u0026amp;B without sounding quite like any of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDiamond Life (1984) is Sade’s debut album, featuring the singles “Your Love Is King”,\u003cbr\u003e“When Am I Going To Make A Living”, “Smooth Operator”, and “Hang On To Your Love.”\u003cbr\u003eThe album was recorded at Power Plant Studios (England).
