17. Sade, Love Deluxe (1992)
Alicia Keys: "Sade is a world all her own. I love that when I listen to her music it makes me feel like I’m watching the sunset in a purple sky. Her voice is so soft and smooth yet so emotive and powerful. Her voice is like water and she flows like no one else in the universe. Some favorites are: 'Cherish the Day,' 'Love is Stronger than Pride,' and 'Woman in Somalia.'"

Her taste was alright (albeit boring, safe and completely dominated by canonized albums) until we got to the 21st century. Then it took a real nosedive for the worse.
She has cute taste. There are 6 of my favorite albums (and 2 Prince's ) and some boring choices. It's cool that out of the french DJs Bob Sinclar is her pick and not the awful and overrated Guetta but his name is not Sinclair but Sinclar.
God i miss the days Bob Sinclar used to run things in the Dance Scene. Before it became overly commercialised.
I was thinking the same thing. It seems so forced like she selected her 25 favorites from like a Rolling Stones list or something lol. But I believe most of them. Especially the Stevie Wonder, Pince and Aretha picks. I am also intrigued and glad that she selected Feist.
