Sade (band and singer of the same name) helped usher in a smoother, some might say 'colder' form of soul. Moving away from the earthy grit and power of singers like Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner, in favour of softy, silkier soul. The instrumentation too sounds cleaner and more polished.
That colder, glossier sound is something that I associate mostly with the 80s or early-90s, and it's not necessarily my favourite approach to music, but these songs hold up fairly well now.
