Stronger Than Pride Full Description
Like Wally Pipp, who took a day off from the Yankee lineup and was permanently replaced by Lou Gehrig, Sade has risked usurpation by more talented players during her long weekend away from recording. In that three-year break, the soft-female-soul market, which the remarkable success of her 1984 debut stimulated, has been filled by a rush of other artists, some far superior (Anita Baker, Regina Belle), some nearly inept (Swing Out Sister). But Sade needn't worry about being eclipsed by more talented singers – the key to her appeal is not the pure prowess of her voice but its poise and presence. In lieu of Baker's gospel-based emotions, Sade offers cool composure. She has designed a distinctive sound and established herself as a diva simply by assuming the image of one. If it's possible, Stronger Than Pride is even wispier than Sade's two previous albums; it's so thin and understated that it leaves a mist hanging over the turntable (or, more likely, the CD player). Her lyrics are mostly brief pillow notes, with their hooks chanted over and over. Serving as producer for the first time, Sade curbs Stuart Matthewman's dramatic sax lines, the crucial ingredient of "Smooth Operator," in favor of an ensemble grace centered on the deft bump of Paul Denman's bass. Brisk urban tracks like the hit "Paradise" alternate with acoustic material inspired by Brazilian bossa nova, but the sensual ambiance is soon spoiled by the dearth of melodies; the album is so tasteful and restrained it's dull. (RS 532)
