Diamond Life — 1984

Cool, sophisticated sophisti-pop and soul, defined by Sade Adu's restrained voice and 'Smooth Operator'. Timeless and elegant. A perfect debut. Where Sade's run begins — a strong starting point.

On vinyl: Second-hand copies circulate widely; a clean original can be better value than a new repress.
