Nigerian hip-hop/soul singer who sings mostly in English. This is her first U.S. release which is a compilation of her first 2 European albums. Don't usually do compilations, but not having heard her before, had to gice this a shot. Started singing professionaly in 2004 as opening act for reggae artist Sean Paul, and there are some reggae flavored tunes here, most notably "Africans". Sometimes compared to Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill. A lot of political messages. Only the one track really grabbed me with most being beyond my stratopsphere.

Just got the EP from new funk-hip hop artist Sam Pete -"Crash Landing" on iTunes... Pretty impressive. Funk lovers should appreciate it.

Very impressed here. Nigerian born r&b/jazzy artist back after a 10 year layoff. Now that's what I call a vacation. Those Smooth Operator dividends must have paid off. Her sixth album overall and a very nice one. Actually the band is called Sade, but I see just her referred to as that also, so I'm really not sure. I thought it was just her. Whatever, it's good stuff. All self penned with many standouts and no duds. No upbeat numbers, just smooth, like a fine wine. That title track has it all. On my list.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Skin
Best Track - Soldier of Love
I've lost the use of my heart
But I'm still alive
Still looking for the life
The endless pool on the other side
It's a wild wild west
I'm doing my best
I'm at the borderline of my faith,
I'm at the hinterland of my devotion
In the frontline of this battle of mine
But I'm still alive
I'm a soldier of love.
Every day and night
I'm soldier of love
All the days of my life
I've been torn up inside (oh!)
I've been left behind (oh!)
So I ride
I have the will to survive
In the wild wild west,
Trying my hardest
Doing my best
To stay alive
I am love's soldier!
I wait for the sound
(oooh oohhh)
I know that love will come (that love will come)
Turn it all around
I'm a soldier of love (soldier of love)
Every day and night
I'm a soldier of love
All the days of my life
I am lost
But I don't doubt (oh!)
So I ride
I have the will to survive
In the wild wild west,
Trying my hardest
Doing my best
To stay alive
I am love's soldier!
I wait for the sound
I know that love will come
I know that love will come
Turn it all around
I'm a soldier of love
I'm a soldier
Still waiting for love to come
Turn it all around
(4x)
I'm a soldier of love
I'm a soldier
Still waiting for love to come
Turn it all around
(3x)
Still waiting for love to come

^ Her name is Sade Adu (although I think that's a shortened version of her first name).
The band has always been known by her name AFAIK...

Although this album is more rock than any traditional black music, it is still Black America. Or should I say an attempt at rock. Let's leave that black rock crossover to Prince please, because this really bad stuff. His seventh album and I can't imagine who he's trying to appeal to here. For sure his black audience will turn a deaf ear, and I can't imagine it picking up much of a white audience, but who knows. I guess it has to sell a few million by the name alone. The guy must have some clout to persuade Cash Money records to put this out. After all he has made a name with his rap releases, solo and with everybody else in that area. Prom Queen is the first single, with On Fire as the follow up. Eminem helps out on Drop The World, where the clip is from the Grammy award show, where Wayne is lookin' like a fool with his pants on the ground.
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Da Da Da

New Jersey native Jaheim Hoagland, r&b singer with his fifth album since 2001. Each with platinum success so I guess this will do the same. A Teddy/Luther sound on the slower tracks which is unappealing to me, but has it's fans. First track with Jadakiss (whoever that is) is the best, and not much else gets back to that funk. I do like that Percy Sledge organ ripoff in Impossible. Released back in October, Ain't Leavin' Without You is the first single with a follow up of Finding My Way Back.
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Bed Is Listening
Best Track - I Ain't Leavin' Without You
What is it,what it's gone be
No, I can't call it
All I know is I had to step up, step up
Speed it up, cut the chase
Go in for first base
Before them other cats try to get ya, get ya
You're moving them hips
Killing me with every dip, girl
You about to get a tip do it girl
Worse that goes down is you turn me down
But, this time around, I got it shorty
Hey, how you doin?
Baby what you getting into?
I don't know what your name is
Or who you came with, But, I ain't leaving without you
Hey girl how you doin'?
I never seen nothing, like you-like you
Cuz a body, that shape
It's your claim to fame
And girl, I ain't leavin' without you. No.
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, boo, boo doo doo doo whoo!
I want your body
Your bod, your bod, your bod, your bod, your body
Oh, What ya drink?
What you sip?
I got the next round
Martini or Goose, now
Tell me what's up, what's up
The conversation my eyes
Is havin' wit your thighs
Gone get me outta line
They better shut up, shut up
You're movin' them hips
Killing me with every dip, girl
You about to get a tip do it now
The worse that goes down is you turn me down
You're feelin' your boy now
So I got it shorty
Hey, how you doin'?
Baby what you getting into?
I don't know what your name is
Or who you came wit
But, I ain't leaving without you
Hey girl how you doin'?
I never seen nothing, like you
Cause a body, that shape
is your claim to fame
And girl, I ain't leavin' without you. No.
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, boo, boo doo doo doo whoo!

Your bod, your bod, your bod, your bod, your body
Doo-doo-doo-oh yeah, doo,doo doo doo doo hey, hey

How you snub me, think your love was wit your love
Love to get to know you better
Let's go somewhere, anywhere
I don't care
Long as we can ride together
One more sip
Wet your lips

I'll slip that tip to valet
Doors up, full halogen

Girl I ain't leavin without you!
Hey how you doin?
