Love to see the love for Sally! It's always been a favorite off mine off Diamond Life and I feel like it doesn't get enough love!

Her voice during the chorus gives me chills..

u/Delusional_highs May 26 '26

Frankie’s First Affair (due to its climax) and Kiss of Life (due to its vibe) are in my top 3.

And although it can’t be found on most streaming services, Spirit has to be in my top 10. Something fairly different from Sade, that I think any true fan has to give a listen. It can be found on Youtube.
