Sade-Lovers Rock

Sade – Lovers Rock is the fifth studio album by the iconic British band Sade, released on 13 November 2000 by Epic Records. A departure from their jazz-infused earlier works, this album embraces the soulful warmth of lovers rock—a romantic subgenre of reggae that frontwoman Sade Adu cherished in her youth.
With tracks like “By Your Side” and “King of Sorrow”, the album explores themes of love, vulnerability, and resilience through minimalist arrangements and acoustic textures. It earned the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album in 2002 and has since achieved triple platinum status in the U.S.
