What We Love About Lovers & Friends

Both previous years of Lovers & Friends were powerhouses of R&B and hip-hop nostalgia. Wrangling together an impeccable group of hitmakers from the 90s and early 00s under one banner for a single day of throwback fun. We had the privilege of documenting the bliss and palpable collective yearning for a time when the voices of Missy Elliot, Usher, Mariah Carey, 50 Cent, and others dominated the airwaves and mixtapes/CDs. Where else can you so easily travel back in time to hear the sounds of such titans, losing yourself in their lovelorn jams and swaggering bars.
