Sade fans may experience a range of emotions while watching the first-rate Lovers Live, but one thing they won't feel is shortchanged--not with nearly two hours of concert footage, 22 songs (including almost all of her Lovers Rock album), and DVD bonus features galore. That sultry, soulful Sade sound is in full effect throughout the concert (filmed at two Southern California locations in 2001), brought to life by a capable band, some superbly evocative visuals and sound effects, and, of course, the singer herself. The show is dramatic, but never overly theatrical; best of all, Sade, while perhaps not the world's greatest performer, is an adult--you'll find no pop-princess posing here. Of the nine songs from Lovers Rock, "Slave Song" and "Immigrant" are especially moving, revealing that Sade added some new flavors to her sound during her protracted layoff from performing. This show is pure Sade--and that's a good thing. --Sam Graham
Set Contains:
The DVD menu, while well designed, is frustratingly slow. If you have the patience, you'll find some largely extraneous backstage footage of Sade and her band, a nice gallery of black-and-white photos, the excellent "King of Sorrow" video, and "Message to Sade," essentially 10 minutes of adoring fans offering homages and confessions of love to their heroine. --Sam Graham

What you may not know is that "Lovers Live" is a must-buy DVD. Don't feel that because you own the DVD of her earlier tour that this DVD is superflous. It's not. There are many songs on this collection that were not included in the first. Also, of the songs that are repeated on "Lovers Live", the arrangements are changed enough to make this listen a new experience. Even "Red Eye" received a significant updating.
The best thing about watching a Sade concert is her command of the audience. Sade is a true beauty, but she doesn't flaunt her assets like so many other female singers. There are no bootylicious aspirations, thong-exposing outfits, acrobatic dance moves, or salacious lyrics. Simply a beautiful, talented woman doing what she does best: mesmerizing an audience for two hours!

Firstly the woman herself: that exotic beauty has hardly dimmed, and if her statuesque body has rounded out to a tiny degree that is no bad thing: she is completely ravishing to look at and you can hardly take your eyes off her. Her voice remains the silky, breathy thing of beauty it always was, and maturity has made it even more expressive.
Amazingly, the band lineup is unchanged from the original album, and they have the tight, close knit sound which only comes from those years on the road together. The musicianship is wonderful and complements her voice perfectly without ever threatening to swamp it. There are plenty of superb instrumental solos to enjoy as the band show off their considerable talents. The backing singers are unusually restrained support her voice without competing with it.
The stage show is simple but dazzlingly effective. Individual solos are flooded with light as Sade herself appears in silhouette. But otherwise the focus stays where it should be - on her. Meanwhile the songs are enhanced by the images appearing on the rear screen.
The only tiny criticism of the whole package is that there is too much footage of the crowd: this is irritating when all you want to see is happening on the stage: apart from this the DVD is pretty perfect really.
Almost 30 years after the release of "Diamond Life" Sade is still the coolest female on the planet.
5 stars? - nowhere near enough.
Her beguiling voice, sexy and soulful, is well suited to her presence and beauty. The musical backing is first class. All her hits are here, performed brilliantly.
She is a credit to the industry, and I feel hasn't had the recognition deserving of her.
If you like Sade, you will love this.
