Love Deluxe proves how far ahead Sade was of her American counterparts Angie Stone and Erykah Badu. Her calm, oh-so-cool and yet fragile vocals are reinforced by the minimal arrangements, enabling the listener to focus on her engaging lyrics filled with love, heartbreak and compassion. Including the hit "No Ordinary Love".

"Marked a return to the detached cool jazz backing and even icier vocals that made her debut album a sensation."
