    Love Deluxe - Sade (Review) with Emm Gryner

    We asked Juno-nominated musician, best-selling author and former David Bowie bandmate Emm Gryner to pick an album from the Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums list and she picked... Sade? The album, Love Deluxe, came out in 1992 and makes the list at #247.

    Have either Eamon or Nathan heard of Sade before? Can they resist the temptation to ask Emm about touring with Bowie? Will Emm start asking "wait, why am I here?" halfway through the episode? Only one way to find out! Listen as we cover: 
    How Emm decides whether to cover a songWhether "icy" and "detatched" are good ways to describe Sade's vocalsWhy this band that sold 75 million albums isn't EXTREMELY knownProbably some Bowie stuffIf you don't know anything about Love Deluxe, take a quick listen to our 101 here: https://recordroulettepodcast.com/episode/love-deluxe-101

Lazy at Best, Hacks at Worst!

I tried listening to two episodes. I got thru one about an artist I enjoyed and another about an artist I had no opinion on (Beach Boys). Both were borderline incoherent. They don’t even reference song titles or lyrics or anything specific. It’s very puzzling.

For how many pop music podcasts are out there, please go for something else.

Fun and Interesting Takes on Classic Records

The concept is simple - a group of music fans randomly select one record from Rolling Stone’s 500 Top Albums list and give their take. Sometimes they’re already fans, sometimes it’s new to them. As a hardcore music nerd who already has my own opinions on most of these albums, I always enjoy hearing their takes - whether or not I agree! This show is a fun, entertaining way to engage with lots of classic music that may love (or hate) or may get to discover for the first time. Recommended!

Garbage and a waste of time

These people clearly don’t do their research before pressing “record” and their review of Mariah’s album is giving very racist.
