A superb 6 CD compilation featuring some of the biggest reggae hits ever recorded. The songs are timeless and the line-up equally impressive. A romantic, R&B-influenced form of reggae, Lovers Rock was a product of the U.K. reggae, becoming popular in the late '70s as mainstream roots reggae increasingly devoted itself to social protest and Rastafarian spirituality. From ska to reggae, Jamaican music had long been influenced by American soul, but lovers rock blurred the lines to a greater extent than ever before, pairing the smooth sounds of Chicago and Philly soul and to a greater or lesser extent, rhythms. Contemporary Reggae is not as raw or vital as the pioneering reggae from the 70s, nor is it as slick as pop reggae.
