Sade will release her first-ever live album next month. Lovers Live was recorded last year during the singer's successful tour behind her most recent studio album, Lovers Rock. A live DVD including footage from the Lovers Rock Tour will also be released.

The album will include several Lovers Rock tracks as well as tunes from Sade's five previous recordings. Lovers Rock was released in November 2000, and at the time was Sade's first album of new material since 1992's Love Deluxe. Last fall, the album was certified Triple Platinum.
