One of the best songs of all time in my opinion, it has a calming yet cut through to the heart ability which is near impossible to replicate, I already have all of Sade discography but I'm thinking of what songs from other artists have a similar ability/sound? It's a song that stop you in it's tracks as you listen to it because it is so stripped back yet direct in it's openness to expressing love, the beautiful synth progressions and soft vocals are delicate yet perfect, however the song has a Nostalgic quality to it, a sadness to it that is hard to explain why.

lovers rock is so f***ing good

sade just absolutely goat
promise + lovers rock are both 10/10 imo

u know me better than that...

I f***s with Earl bro, but this has nothing in common with Sade,

Beat alone reminded me of this

Beautiful song bro, thanks for the post I love it

this is my least listened to sade but it might be the most influential on everything to come later

i feel like the uk caribbean folks would have good insight on this classic
