Good compilations for Lovers Rock?

Post by hulotings » Mon Aug 31, 2009 10:42 am

Hey, can anyone recommend some good compilations or albums for Lovers Rock as a genre? Even recommendations of singles would be great too. Nothing too mainstream, but it needs to be catchy and get the girls dancing!

Many thanks
