Lovers Rock is Sade's fifth studio album, released by Epic Records in November 2000. The album takes its name from a romantic reggae style that influenced the band's frontwoman during her early years. It represents a stylistic shift away from the band's previous jazz-influenced sound, incorporating elements from soul, R&B, soft rock, folk, dub, reggae, and neo-soul instead. The production is characterized by sparse instrumentation and simple arrangements with reggae elements.
