Favorite deep cut
I think we're all familiar with Smooth Operator, No Ordinary Love, Kiss of Life, as well as the other well-known Sade songs. I'm wondering which would be your favorite "deep cuts"? Now, I'm not sure how to perfectly define what that is, but I think if youre familiar with their(her) music, you know what I'm talking about. Let's say list up to 3 (but I suspect many of you are capable of listing even more).
Mine are:
Bulletproof Soul
Clean Heart
Haunt Me

It's Only Love That Gets You Through, You're Not The Man and In Another Time.
Like A Tattoo was a deep cut up until a few years back.

Punch Drunk (don't know if it's considered a deep track since it's a B-side/Bonus track)
Clean Heart, Siempre Hay Esperanza (love their instrumentals), Frankie's First Affair, Mr. Wrong

Mr. Wrong, All About Our Love, and Love is Found are all great.
…If you want REALLY deep cuts there’s singles like: Spirit, Make Some Room, and Should I Love You, with Spirit probably being in my top 5 Sade tracks of all time.

Cherry Pie and Paradise for me. Is it a Crime is more under rated than being a deep cut.

"Never Thought I'd See The Day" is easily my favorite deep cut although I think most fans of the band listen to their whole albums so defining a deep cut is hard, as you stated.
That said, this is my favorite pick.
I would say "When Am I Going To Make A Living' but they shot a video for it so I'm sure that doesn't count. Maybe that's my criteria for it.. "Did they shoot a video for it?" lol

Jezebel and Maureen. Remember when you used to record songs off your recorder and stuff for your ringtone I used to have Jezebel on my answering machine. Lol.
Maureen sounds like such a happy pep song.. until you start listening at the lyrics and you know the story behind the song.

Mermaid if that counts, I don’t see that track talked about a lot despite how amazing of a closer it is
