UB40's 'Labour of Love IV', is their first Labour of Love album since 1998's 'Labour of Love III', and coming just in time for Valentine's Day! Literally millions of people from across the globe have developed a love for Jamaican music after hearing UB40, and the band's commitment to their early influences is as strong as ever. The Labour of Love series began in 1983, with a number one album and number one single ('Red, Red Wine)'. This was followed in 1989 by Labour of Love II, which spawned a No. 4 single ('Kingston Town') and two US Billboard Top 10s. Another Top 10 album, Labour of Love III, and single ('Come Back, Darling') was released in 1998. 'Labour of Love IV' continues what has become a passion for the band, to share their love of reggae classics, some well known, some not so. Recorded at UB40's Reflex Studios in Birmingham in the Spring 2009, the album comprises 14 tracks featuring covers such as Delroy Wilson ('Close to Me'), John Holt Songs ('I Don't Want to See You Cry' and 'Man Next Door'), American soul stars Smokey Robinson ('Tracks of My Tears') and Sam Cooke ('Bring It On Home To Me') plus more. Labour of Love IV is the first to feature another talented Campbell brother, Duncan, on lead vocals.
