Cover Up

Cover Up is the fourteenth[nb 1] studio album by English reggae band UB40, released on 22 October 2001 through Virgin Records and DEP International. Recorded with co-producer Gerry Parchment at DEP International Studios in Birmingham, the album followed a musical break for the group. It exemplifies their distinct reggae/pop sound and uses programmed rhythms as the basis for songs; the incorporation of the latter caused friction within the band and singer Ali Campbell later criticised the production style.

On release, Cover Up reached number 29 on the UK Albums Chart and left the chart after three weeks, reflecting the group's diminishing profile. The lead single, "Since I Met You Lady", was a collaboration with dancehall singer Lady Saw.
