Sade / Germany 05.04.2011 Complete

Sade Adu, the “Queen of Silence,” has returned to the music scene after a long silence. This release captures her decisive comeback performance in Oberhausen, Germany, from her 2011 European tour, using a superb audience master recording of every track. The maturity and deepening of her artistry, as demonstrated in her 2010 masterpiece album “Soldier of Love,” is seamlessly translated onto the stage. The band’s streamlined ensemble, the deeply immersive groove, and Sade’s timeless vocals envelop the entire hall. Signature tracks like “No Ordinary Love” and “Smooth Operator” are re-arranged in a more soulful 2011 style, and the new songs blend in seamlessly, resulting in a highly accomplished performance that serves as a comprehensive overview of her career. Despite being an audience recording, the expansive spatial expression and clear positioning realistically reproduce the band’s intricate dynamics and even the audience’s breathing. This is truly a “luxury to listen to.” Live At Oberhausen, Germany May 4th, 2011 Disc 1 1.Soldier Of Love 2.Your Love Is KIng 3.Skin 4.Kiss Of Life 5.Love Is Found 6.In ANother Time 7.Intro To 8.Smooth Operator 9.Jezebel 10.Bring Me Home 11.Is It A Crime 12.Still In Love With You Disc 2 1.All About Our Love 2.Paradise 3.Morning Bird 4.King Of Sorrow 5.The Sweetest Taboo 6.The Moon And The Sky 7.Pearls 8.No Orbinary 9.By Your Side 10.Band Introduction 11.Cherish The Day
