After a long break to raise children and escape the touring cycle, Sade Adu and her bandmates (Stuart Matthewman, Andrew Hale, and Paul Denman) reconvened in the Caribbean island of St. Lucia and at Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas. The result was Lovers Rock , an album stripped of the sax-heavy sophisti-pop of their 80s work. Instead, they embraced minimalism: acoustic guitars, soft reggae influences, and Sade’s voice, which had aged like fine cognac—richer, deeper, and more weary. The title is a double entendre. Lovers Rock is a genuine subgenre of reggae that originated in the UK in the 1970s—a softer, more romantic style of reggae focused on love and relationships rather than political Rastafarian themes. Sade, being a product of London’s multicultural melting pot, paid homage to this genre while simultaneously creating her own version of it.
