Promise is the second studio album by English band Sade, first released in the United Kingdom on 4 November 1985 by Epic Records and in the United States on 15 November 1985 by Portrait Records. In 1984 the band released their debut album Diamond Life, the album became highly successful selling six million copies, and became the best-selling debut by a British female vocalist.

Sade's second album improved on the performance of her debut, as "Sweetest Taboo" was a huge hit and "Never as Good as the First Time" landed in both the R&B and pop Top 20. She was once again the personification of cool, laid-back singing, seldom extending or embellishing lyrics, registering emotion, or projecting her voice. This demeanor made her more desirable in the minds of many fans and was perhaps the ultimate misapplication of the notion of sophistication.

Promise ‎ (CD, Album, RP). Portrait. Sade - Never As Good As The First Time (Official Music Video).

Like their debut album, Promise was recorded live, however, Promise featured the use of technology, sampling drums by way of an AMS with a lock-in feature. Sade Adu served as the album's arranger, with Nick Ingman

Album · 1985 · 11 Songs. See All. The Best of Sade.

Sade’s second album was released in 1985, and cemented Sade as a credible and successful band, debuting at the very top of the charts in both the UK and US. Sade set off on their first world tour after releasing the album, and in 1986 won a Grammy for Best New Artist. The album contains the singles The Sweetest Taboo, Never As Good As The First Time and Is It A Crime.
