Promise is Sade's second album, originally released in 1985. The album is described as lush, and unhurried. Her rich vocals are immersive and envelops the listener in her cool tones. The songs lend themselves to her essence, as she wrote and arranged all of them. Promise was their first to reach #1 in the U.S. Features the singles "The Sweetest Taboo," "Is It a Crime?", and "Never as Good as the First Time."
The vinyl audio uses high resolution digital transfers of the stereo master mixes, from the original studio recordings, remastered at half-speed at Abbey Road Studios. The elaborate, half-speed mastering process has produced exceptionally clean and detailed audio whilst remaining faithful to the band's intended sound. No additional digital limiting was used in the mastering process, so the album benefits from the advantage of extra clarity and pure fidelity, preserving the dynamic range of the original mixes.
The original album sleeve and packaging elements have been meticulously reproduced in exact detail with authentic paper and printing methods.
