Sade Lovers Rock Rar

[Sunday Egerer]

<div>Lovers Rock is the fifth studio album by English band Sade, released on 13 November 2000 by 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.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Lovers Rock was seen as offering a more stripped-down, subtle backdrop than the band's previous work, and the album's production saw the use of modern dance beats and reggae.[13] Lovers Rock was described as a concept album by Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine, who stated the album was lyrically a "soundtrack for lovers, lovers who are in love and making love and lovers who have been scorned." Cinquemani also noted political themes of two of the album's songs, "Slave Song" and "Immigrant", which were noted as social statements.[14] Lovers Rock contains a continuous composition, with each song leading to the next with a "united flow."[14] The album's lyrics were described as being fixated on the themes of love, loss and rejection.[10]</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Sade Lovers Rock Rar</div><div></div><div>DOWNLOAD: https://t.co/A7fjH8NOEt </div><div></div><div></div><div>The album was first released in the United Kingdom on 13 November 2000. Lovers Rock was titled after the romantic strain of reggae also known as lovers rock, which Adu listened to in her youth.[16] "By Your Side" was released as the lead single from the album and was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, but lost out to Nelly Furtado's "I'm Like a Bird". It also placed at number 48 on VH1's list of the "100 Greatest Love Songs".[17] The single reached number 75 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 17 on the UK Singles Chart.[6][18] "King of Sorrow" was released as the album's second single on 12 March 2001. The song performed poorly on charts, peaking at number 59 on the UK chart[6] and failing to impact the US Billboard Hot 100, instead reaching number one on the US Billboard Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart.[19]</div><div></div><div></div><div>Upon release, Lovers Rock received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 78, based on 11 reviews.[25] Ed Hogan of AllMusic praised Sade's choice to infuse "more mainstream rock elements (prominent strummed guitars) into her music."[11] Michael Paoletta of Billboard described the album as "sterling" and "signature Sade".[34] James Hannaham of Spin found Lovers Rock "demo-like in its simplicity" and praised its "airy" tones, dubbing the album "ephemeral".[32] In a review for Rolling Stone, Rob Sheffield wrote that the album "sounds exactly like Sade, heavily influenced by Diamond Life with a bit of Love Deluxe thrown in. Needless to say, it's also pretty damn good, because this smooth operator shrewdly sticks to the tricks she'd already mastered before turning pro."[12]</div><div></div><div></div><div>"Lovers Rock" is a song by Sade, and its meaning centers around the lyrical theme of dependence on a loved one for emotional support and stability. The song describes a relationship where the singer is lost in the wilderness of life, feeling sad and alone, and the person she loves is the only one who can give her hope and keep her grounded. The use of the metaphor "lovers rock" describes this person as a 'rock' that she clings to in the storm.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The song is a tribute to the power of love as a source of comfort, strength, and stability. 'Lovers Rock' can be seen as a symbol of the safety and security lovers can provide for each other during trying times. The lyrics express the idea that when all else fails, love is the one reliable force that one can hold on to.</div><div></div><div></div><div>It's been eight long ones since HelenFolasade Adu had a new cd languorously slithering up the charts, but likeSteely Dan and a host of other once-popular acts, she has come out of recordingretirement to lay a new set on us -- the provocatively-named LoversRock. </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>SXSW reduced registration</div><div></div><div>Through February 12</div><div></div><div>Austin, Texas, USA</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>The annual South by Southwest Music and Media Conference & Festival attracts nearly 12,000 attendees, and the city of Austin swells with music lovers who travel to hear the nearly 2,000 top-notch bands who play on 80 stages around the city.
