| | Sade: Lovers Rock (2000): Reviews |
 | | Lovers' Rock ranks among the finest albums of the year, as Sade, nimbly utilizing that distinctively smoky, vulnerable instrument that is her voice, weaves gentle yet insinuating odes to love and loss. | | | Lovers Rock is her first in eight years, and guess what -- it sounds exactly like Sade, heavily influenced by Diamond Life with a bit of Love Deluxe thrown in. | | | While Lovers Rock is not any sort of departure from the quiet ballads that marked the group's first three albums, there is an element of freshness that aligns Sade with the current electronic music insurgence while still maintaining a distinctly analog outlook on love's foibles. |

| | Sade: Lovers Live |
| | As might be expected, it was a sleek, sophisticated two-hour performance, featuring 10 Lovers Rock songs and 11 hits from her four prior albums. | | | Lovers Rock CD, and 2001 was even more exciting with her band's first North American tour in almost a decade. | | | The most noticeable omission on the live CD is, in fact, the title song from Lovers Rock, which seems a tad surprising given it was part of the concert and was performed very well. |

| | "Lovers Rock" is heavily influenced by her previous albums “Diamond Life” and “Love Deluxe” but still remains fresh. | | | Her latest album “Lovers Rock” is simply Sade being Sade. | | | Sade does stray away from the sounds "Lovers Rock", which has helped her sell over 40 million albums but manages to incorporate an element of freshness that aligns her with the current electronic music revolution. |

| | CD Baby: JERRY HARRIS: Lover's Paradise |
| | Released on his Listen Up record label, distributed internationally, it's filled with lover's rock, a touch of dancehall, and jazzy reggae songs soon to be classics. | | | Although more up-beat than Lovers Rock Tonight, it continues to showcase Jerry's vocal, musical and songwriting talent, as well as his one-of-a-kind voice and singing style. | | | Lover's Paradise is very enjoyable to listen to, with a great combination of reggae, jazz and ballads. |

| | Live Sade soothes - The Heights - Arts & Review |
| | This album is mellow and at times the songs seem to blend together if the listener does not pay attention, but that, too, is a tribute to the flow and unity of her work. | | | Lovers Rock Live highlights the best from Sade's 2001 U.S. tour, which followed the release of Lovers Rock in 2000. | | | Since her first CD came out in 1984, she has released six other CDs, but Lovers Rock was her first in eight years. |

| | Armchair DJ: Music Review: Sade: Lovers Rock; Erykah Badu: Mama's Gun; Nicole Willis: Soul Makeover |
| | The closest the singer or her band come to breaking a sweat is when a gentle hip-hop beat intrudes on the multi-tracked vocals of the hypnotic "Flow." Elsewhere, dub and, of course, lover's rock accents color the acoustic guitars and low-key basslines that make up the substance of almost every track. | | | Softly crooning lyrics that treat romantic disappointment and racial injustice with equal restraint, Anglo-Nigernian superstar Sade takes her her sensitive-yet-serene persona to new extremes on "Lovers Rock." Her first album in eight years, the 11-track LP sounds closer to Enya than to Erykah Badu. | | | One thing's certain, though: "Lovers Rock" is the most sedate unit-shifter since those Gregorian monks hit the Billboard charts. |

| | Lovers rock |
| | Lovers rock is a more lovers style of music and a music derived from reggae by the slowing down of the reggae beat. | | | For most of this engaging album, the focus shifts from 1970s Jamaica to 1980s London, where the Lover's Rock school of gentle reggae seemed more open to absorbing Studio 54 glitz and recycling it at a languorous pace. | | | Think of London's dance culture, which goes back long before rave to when Jamaicans first imported their sound system culture of heavy bass pressure, "blues" (illegal all-night parties), and ganja. |

| | Boston Rock Storybook - Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers |
| | The idea of what the first Modern Lovers album would sound like with John Felice playing on it is interesting; the idea of what it would have sounded like with Gram Parsons playing on it is beyond intriguing, a musical tease of parallel dimension proportion. | | | It was like he was stripping away the assembly line ingredients for 70's rock- "angst-ridden" lyrics, excessive volume, self-absorbed lead guitar solos, screamed vocals, barely veiled or obvious sexual metaphor -to reveal the chassis beneath it all: Chuck Berry, doo-wop, pure tones and a backbeat. | | | Four record labels have failed to break his spirit, and his criterion for a good label is still the one that does the least intrusive marketing on his behalf. |

| | Headlines - Natty Dread - A Weh We Want (Roots meets Lovers Rock) |
| | In 1976 the emerging punk rock movement was professing an affection for reggae's rebellious spirit; the Clash became the first band to make that connection on record when they covered 'Police and Thieves' on their seminal debut album that year. | | | In 1975 he shifted from the lovers rock sensibility of recent efforts towards the more explicitly Rastafarian approach of records like 'Natty Dread Ina Greenwich Farm' and 'Natural Fact' later that year Campbell and Lee also launched 'The Gorgan' a boastful smash which yielded a series of hit sequels. | | | Whilst not the most prolific reggae star of the late 70's such is the stature of 'Police and Thieves' and it's accompanying album of the same name Junior Murvin would still be a legend even if he'd never recorded another note. |

| | This was one of the first albums released as part of the string of classic Wackies albums that have been (re)released by Berlin dub-techno duo Moritz Von Oswald and Mark Ernestus a.k.a. | | | The song to close this album with an uplifting message is the rootsy "All I Can Say" (that was like "Stranger" also included on "Reggae Vibes") where the inspiration by Lee Perry's Black Ark sound for Wackies come to full blossoming. | | | Even when you already own the "Reggae Vibes" album, and thus only will find five new tunes on this album, it's still worth buying it. |

| | Here's hoping she never deserts it for so-called "artistic higher ground." Lovers Rock continues the singer's pattern of making music that feeds the soul. | | | The conspicuously titled "Slave Song" is a powerful dub meditation, dedicated to the inheritors of an ageless tragedy; and "Immigrant" makes a subtle plea for empathy, framed by the band's typically sparse energy. | | | While mellower in many respects than her last effort— Love Deluxe—Sade's latest project showcases an artist who has grown, not necessarily through musical experimentation, but by refining her sound and broadening her outlook on life. |
