    Never before has the singer infused more mainstream rock elements (prominent strummed guitars) into her music.

    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.
  3. Q Magazine

    If there's nothing on Lovers Rock as naggingly memorable as past triumphs Diamond Life or Your Love Is King, then the refined ache and minimalist chic of By Your Side and Somebody Already Broke My Heart are persuasive enough.

    One of Sade's most perfected albums. Her vocals are round and warm as usual, the production is clean, precise, well balanced and full of feel and emotions. Superb engineering work was done on the recording. It is one of my top ten albums for sure!… Expand
