Love Deluxe - Sade

Why does Sade's Love Deluxe feel so good? It's chill, it's vibey and incredibly musically sophisticated. Jazz pianists Adam Maness and Peter Martin listen to Love Deluxe track-by-track, breaking down what's happening in the music: the minor and major thirds, the back phrasing and why Sade is the "Queen of the Ninth".

Plus - Adam gives a mini lesson on chromatic mediants and how they give 'Like a Tattoo' its distinctive sound.
