A Love Story (Des'ree album)

Background
After 2003's Dream Soldier, Des'ree believed her fourth studio album would probably be her last. Stage fright, fear of flying, health issues, and her record label Sony failing to pick up the option for another record made her decide to step away from the music industry. Over the sixteen years that followed, she began taking courses in the arts, as well as natural medicine. She became qualified as a nutritionist and then as a naturopath. In 2014, she began writing new songs and contacted her longtime writing partners Michael Graves and Tim Atack. David Munday and Howard Francis, along with engineer/mixer Robin Baynton were brought on board as Des'ree began to record new music in the studio with no real expectations. The album was put on hold when her mother became ill and Des'ree and her sister became her carers. The album was ultimately completed in 2019. Des'ree decided to release it through her own record label, Stargazer. The first single, "Don't Be Afraid" was released on 8 September 2019.
