Lovers Rock

Lovers Rock is a subgenre of reggae music that emerged in London during the late 1970s. It is a romantic and mellow form of reggae, often characterized by smooth rhythms and soulful, romantic lyrics. The lyrics often focus on love and relationships, and the music is designed to be relaxing and soothing. It draws influence from soul and R&B, as well as early reggae, ska, and rocksteady. Lovers Rock originated in the sound systems of London's West Indian community, where it was used to fill the gap between the more aggressive forms of reggae music that were popular in the clubs. The genre has remained popular in the UK and has gained fans across the world.
