The first full-fledged guide book to Lovers Rock is born!

Lovers Rock is a sub-genre of reggae that originated in the mid-1970s in England. Love songs with stylish arrangements and sweet melodies have the potential to captivate a wide range of listeners, but until now, there has been a lack of comprehensive information, and despite its pop sound, it has been a genre that has been difficult to access. In such a situation, the first guide book from It's a Romance Production, a label that was born in 2020 and whose released works have sold out immediately, is now available. With a total of over 700 singles and albums, this guide book also emphasizes visuals, gently inviting listeners into the world of Lovers Rock.
