In 2003, without ever even officially releasing an album, Lovher was nominated for a Lady of Soul Award and they were featured in widely published magazines, such as Vibe, Teen People, Black Beat, Right On, Honey and a notable mention in Billboard Magazine. The press always seems to gravitate toward Lovher because they're the epitomy of a refreshing blend of sexiness, sassiness, earthiness, realness, and raw yet seasoned talent.
Since their departure from Def Soul, Lovher is quite possibly the most anticipated comeback group of 2006. The group is currently based in Philadelphia, PA which is one the nations' most historical music cities. (Gamble&Huff, Patti Labelle, Teddy P, etc). Since the begining of '06 they have been working very hard at perfecting their skills in singing, songwriting and even producing! They have worked with popular producers, such as Grammy nominated, MAAD PHUNK!, best known for their work with Fabolous and Flipmode Squad as well as producers from Midi Mafia best known for 50 Cents' "21 Questions" and last but not least the Philly based production camp called Hot City Music Group yielding producer's like: Young Genius (Mariah Carey's Diamond Album "Emancipation of MiMi") and IG (Nephew, Young Geezy, etc) just to name a few.
Now armed with a new sound; new songs from some great producers; a new look and a revitalized spirit, Chinky, Buttah and Serenade strongly believe that they will soon separate themselves from the myriad of other would-be and existing girl groups. This time around they are much smarter and wiser, so even though a few Major labels are currently showing some strong interested they are still shopping for the right situation. When the time is right they will once again be sending a resounding message to music fans across the world. Most importantly that female groups can stay together and have longevity despite much adversity. You can trust that this girl group will soon be making it happen because "To Know Her Is To Lovher."

Your Man
Lovher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For a minute it wont take long
You see we've been good friends
For a while and I hope you wont
Get mad at me and try to act fool
Cause it wasn't my fault
So before you hear it twisted from somebody else
I'll tellyou myself
That your man tried to holla at me
Your man tried to get with me
Said your man when behind your back
But he found out I don't get down like that
(check it out)
You see I wasn't gonna tell you
But as a friend I thought I should
(check it out)
Cause if the shoe was on the other foot
I would hope you would
Be a woman enough to tell me
Be woman enough to confront me
And I hate the bearer of bad news
But I had to tell you
That your man tried to holla at me
Your man tried to get with me
Said your man when behind your back
But he found out I don't get down like that
(bridge)
I don't know
Don't know the reason why
The reason he would try
I don't know
When he knew that it would make you cry
All I know
All I know is that I'm gonna be
A friend forever that's why
I had to tell ya
That your man tried to holla at me
Your man tried to get with me
Said your man when behind your back
But he found out I don't get down like that
That your man tried to holla at me
Your man tried to get with me
Said your man when behind your back
But he found out I don't get down like that
I said he tried to holla
He told me I should call him
But you're my girl
So I thought I had to tell you
That your man...
The song Your Man by Lovher is a confession by the singer to her close friend about a betrayal by her boyfriend or partner. The song starts with the singer asking for a moment to talk to her friend and letting her know that what she is about to reveal might hurt her. The singer goes on to inform her friend that her partner had tried to hit on her, but she turned him down. She talks about how she felt obliged to tell her friend about it because she would hope for the same in the reverse situation.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the fact that the singer values her friendship with her friend more than her relationship with her partner. The bridge expresses the singer's confusion about why someone who knew that their actions would hurt their partner would still go through with them.
Overall, the song takes a strong stance against infidelity and upholds the importance of close friendships that survive such betrayals.

Hey girl let me holla at you
I need to talk to you for a minute
For a minute it wont take long
This won't take up too much of your time
You see we've been good friends
You and I have been close for a while now
For a while and I hope you wont
I hope you won't get upset with me
Get mad at me and try to act fool
I hope you won't get angry and cause a scene
Cause it wasn't my fault
I didn't do anything wrong
So before you hear it twisted from somebody else
I want to tell you the truth before someone else tells you a distorted version
I'll tellyou myself
I want to be the one to tell you
That your man tried to holla at me
Your boyfriend tried to hit on me
Your man tried to get with me
He made a move on me
Said your man when behind your back
He did this when you weren't around
But he found out I don't get down like that
But he figured out that I'm not interested
You see I wasn't gonna tell you
I wasn't planning on telling you
But as a friend I thought I should
But as your friend, I felt like I should
Cause if the shoe was on the other foot
If this happened to me, I would want to know
I would hope you would
I would hope that you would tell me
Be a woman enough to tell me
Be mature enough to tell me
Be woman enough to confront me
Be brave enough to talk to me about it
And I hate the bearer of bad news
I don't like being the one to deliver bad news
But I had to tell you
But in this case, I had to tell you
I don't know
I'm not sure
Don't know the reason why
I don't know why he did it
The reason he would try
Why he would attempt to flirt with me
When he knew that it would make you cry
When he knew that this would hurt you
All I know
The only thing I know for sure
All I know is that I'm gonna be
Is that I will always be
A friend forever that's why
Your friend for life, which is why
That your man tried to holla at me
I had to tell you that your boyfriend hit on me
I said he tried to holla
I told him that he was out of line
He told me I should call him
He asked me to call him later
But you're my girl
But you are my friend
So I thought I had to tell you
So I felt like I needed to tell you

@shortyrock67 Never released in the US. For some reason Def Soul shelved the album. I had like 8 of the songs but never found the rest. It's ashame cause they had some bangin vocals. Maybe they were to positive to women, and the didn't want women being inspired.

So serious when I text they should come back on the scene fr fr. Real voices,real raw talent. So so needed in the today's industry. To the ladies of Lovher please please reunite and give us a full banging album it's not over and you deserve your shot. #Fan
