Various Artists - Lovers Rock (The Soulful Sound of Romantic Reggae)

Lovers rock to brytyjski podgatunek muzyki reggae, popularny w latach 70. i 80. Powstał jako kontrapunkt dla bardziej wojowniczego, przesyconego ideami rastafari i polityką roots reggae. Na jego romantyczną naturę duży wpływ miały gładkie brzmienia chicagowskiego i filadelfijskiego soulu połączone z jamajskimi rytmami rocksteady. Nic dziwnego, że lovers rock szczególną popularność cieszy się wśród kobiet.
