Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)LIFE PROMISE PRIDE LOVE reissues the popular videoclips collection by SADE that was originally released in 1993. On DVD, the viewer now has the option of excellent-sounding, remastered 5.1 sound, plus there are other minor extras (a discography, a biography, chapter access, and an option to display the lyrics on the screen in several languages as the videoclips play)...plus one major one (the addition of the year 2000 videoclip BY YOUR SIDE).
Several of the oldest videoclips have somewhat dated visual storylines, yet without exception the music itself remains fresh, with Sade Adu's understated yet emotive vocals (and commanding visual presence), plus a jazz-tinged accompiament that to me sounds like an obvious starting point for the so-called "acid-jazz" movement that made occasional inroads into popular culture in the 1990s across the world. Besides the previously-mentioned bonus clip, fifteen hits from Sade's first four albums covering 1984-1993 are presented here.
Sade fans--or anyone looking to return to this memorable music periodically--should be happy with either this video and/or the simultaneously-issued concert DVD (SADE LIVE). In fact, for those who only want one or two Sade items in their collection (and don't mind not being able to play it on a CD player), I would recommend this DVD over the greatest hits CD that came out a few years ago...whether the television screen is on or off, you've still got a great-sounding audio document of Sade's greatest hits.
P.S., in response to a previous review, I noticed no syncronization problems with the USA release.
