Sade - Paradise

I'm always returning to Sade somehow. She's (or "they" rather as Sade is the name of the band and the singer is Sade Adu) one of my favourite artists, and spread among six albums are songs of such beauty, distinction and eloquence that it's hard to fathom. "Paradise" was the second single off her third album, 1988's Stronger Than Pride, and is in every way perfect, with its hypnotic groove, smooth guitar licks and Sade's wonderful voice.
