Originally issued in 1989 as the B-side to the single release “Personality”, “Lovers and Friends” paints and mellow and contemplative mood as our song of the day today. What’s striking in listening to this track is that you can literally hear elements of the mid-80’s forward and the beginnings of the sound of the first half of the next decade. Press play!
