Wielding a sound which cuts through the whole of Southern music tradition – from blues, soul and R&B, to gospel, country, folk and rock, husband-and-wife duo Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter now reach the next creative level as their story plays out amid a transcendent sonic landscape. Their name alone conjures images of struggle, epic conflict, sacrifice, and the eventual birth of a lasting peace. For this "colossally talented pair" (Associated Press), that struggle is found within love itself and it forms the heart of a landmark album for their first major-label release.

Revealing and bold, the 10-track collection offers unique perspective on shifting cultural tides and the impact of a global pandemic. The soul-soaked title track single co-written by the pair with album producer Dave Cobb is presented as a playful rock-n-roller full of starry-eyed flirtation as the couple compare romantic battle scars and decide they still believe in the cause. "Lover's Game" embraces that genre-less vocal dynamism the duo has long employed while showcasing love's ability to rejuvenate.

"There is no greater or higher calling in life than to be conduits of love and that's exactly what Lover's Game is to us," says Tanya. "From the opening guitar riff to the last piano note on this record...love is the intention and love is the subject that can't be ignored. We've been through every facet of it together and we could not be more excited to share another layer of our story."
