Lovers Rock

Artist: George Nooks Album: For You Released: 2001 Genre: Reggae Experience the smooth, soulful sounds of legendary Jamaican artist George Nooks with his timeless hit, "Give My Love a Try." This track is a quintessential masterpiece of the Lovers Rock genre, showcasing Nooks' signature velvet-smooth vocals and romantic storytelling that has captivated reggae fans for decades. "Give My Love a Try" (sometimes listed as "Give Love a Try") is an infectious romantic anthem built on a classic dancehall-reggae rhythm. The lyrics express the vulnerability of a man asking for a chance at love, featuring memorable lines like "Everyday I see you passing by... girl you caught my eyes". George Nooks, also famously known by his DJ moniker Prince Mohamed, bridges the gap between classic foundation reggae and modern lovers rock with this performance. The track was originally recorded in Jamaica around 2001 for the Rising Stars label. It was initially released as a 7" vinyl single (Catalog: STAR 0003). While specific studio credits vary by version, Nooks frequently collaborated with legendary Jamaican producers like Joe Gibbs and Tad Dawkins. The song remains so popular that it was later featured on major compilations, including Joe Frasier Records' Hits After Hits Vol. 6 (2012) and as the opening track for his 2018 album, For You, released by Tad's Record Inc..
