Sade - Lovers Rock

About Lovers Rock by Sade Album

Lovers Rock is the fifth studio album by English band Sade, released on November 13, 2000 through Epic Records. The album was titled after a style of reggae music known as lovers rock, noted for its romantic sound and content, which frontwoman Sade Adu listened to in her youth. Lovers Rock was seen as a departure from the band's previous use of jazz elements, opting instead for a wider use of musical elements from soul music, R&B, soft rock, folk music, dub, reggae, neo soul and lovers rock. The album's production has been characterised as spare, with simple arrangements and reggae flourishes. A concept album, the lyrics focus on both the positive and the negative sides of love; the album's lyrical content also touches upon political themes. Upon release, Lovers Rock was met with generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised the band's musical direction. The album earned Sade the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album in 2002. Commercially, the album reached number 18 on the UK Albums Chart and number three on the US Billboard 200. It has since been certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), having sold over 3 million copies in the United States by February 2010. The album spawned two singles — "By Your Side" and "King of Sorrow" — and was further promoted by the band's Lovers Rock Tour. Following the release of Love Deluxe (1992), the band began an eight-year hiatus, during which Adu would experience media scrutiny and give birth to her first child.

Sade, ah Sade. If a voice could convey sexuality, it's Sade. To get you in the mood, to get you out of a "bad" mood, Sade is the fix. As good as her previous albums are, Sade is a mature, sexy soundtrack for those souls seeking a deeper connection with the one they're with. You won't be disappointed buying this.

- Great album - just want to point out favorite good track

Ok, it's a great album, we all know that here. I'm just surprised that the last track has such a non-existent bar next to it. It's my favorite by a good bit, and the whole album is great. When it all boils down to it, it's only love that gets you through. Peace.

- album is sweet

this album is sweet - really hits the mark. want to fill my house with her music

- Love it

Truely amazing

- Viva La Sade

This woman has the most beautiful silky-smooth, sultry voice I've ever heard, and the music accents it perfectly. I started listening to Sade when she first made the scene, and I have been a fan ever since. My only regret is that she is not as prolific as some artists, so I have to wait a while to hear something new.

- Brilliant!

Sade at her and their best!!!

- Lovers Rock

I'm not a die-hard fan of Sade or anything, but I like some of her music. This album, I think, brings out the best of Sade, and shows her talents. After a listen, you will be speechless.

- Lovers Rock

This is by far my most favorite CD by Sade, Every Word is my favorite song on here all though i love all the songs!

- Artistic Elegance

Sade is the perfect example of what an artist should be....elegant, meaningful and a lyricist.

- She's Awesome

She is the best! Her music was the only tone I found peace with after breaking up with my fiance with no closure. Her unique tone & lyric helped me find serenity.

- Sade rocks this album

Sade is absolutelly amazing in this album. By far my favorite song off this album is "By your Side". I first heard this song on a re-run episode of Sex and The City titled "The Good Fight" and couldnt get it out of my head but I didn't know who the artist was or what the title of the song was.I finally got on iTunes and decided to look it up and discovered the talented Sade.

- Flow

- GoodMusyc

This album takes you away to another place. You get caught up in every song because some how you can relate to every song. This is the "sweetest gift".

- By Your Side

Ya gotta love "You think I'd leave you down when you're down on your knees? I wouldn't do that." It's like a window into her soul, and it hits you right in the gut.

Sade has a voice that is impossible to explain. I have listened to her since I was small and she has a powerfull voice. Now I can say that her music has always moved me, and inspired me. She is truly talented and this album is more than gold. It is life.

- This is Magic!!

Yup classy and soulful through and through. None of the Beyoncé type of junk of over singing and over powering beats in your face junk. Just soulful magical vocals over very meaningful and perfect soundscapes of rich chords and textures. One of the finest albums ever.

- Sade!!! Wine at its finest

Time agrees with her as she gets better with age and has one of the baddest bands in the world, listening to their music takes you away from the troubled world we live in today and takes you to a place both safe and warm, like a hug.

- Amaaaaazing!!!!!

Its Sade wouldnt expect less!!!

- One of the best albums ever!

Very special Hip-Hop that is influenced by world music. The music is very pleasant to listen, but also very interesting. The sound is great! Probably my best purchase on iTunes. As a music producer I have learned from it a lot.

To me Sade was just another artist until I just happened to come across some free tickets for her concert that showcased this album in 2000. I was blown away. I instantly became a fan and this album has been a mainstay on my short list. It has always been with me and always gets played. Deeply emotional, sexy even when she is singing about heartache. get it

- Sade Got Everything Right

I love this album. It's the kind of album that is easy to listen to over and over again. The lyrics are a thing of beauty, and the music carves a groove deep in the soul. Thanks to Sade for this classic.

- I LOVE SADE

Sade carried me through some ruff patches in my life. There was a point in my life where I was in love with music and then I hated it, I just could not find anything that did it for me. Someone on here made a comment, if this CD does not make you emotional then you don't know music! I think that is it, I knew what I loved and all that I loved moved me so deeply, and this CD, this ARTIST she just is so gifted and she can just bring you to a level of relief! I can go on forever BUY THIS CD AND YOU"LL GET IT CONGRATS ON YOUR GREATEST PURCHASE

If sade and amy winehouse make a song together it would be gold both legends one dead one alive but both deep in there souls bring out the light from their hearts to light ours up even though we become sad with both singers songs but that means its music emotions feelings....
