Love Wars is the 1983 debut album by musical duo Womack & Womack. The album, described by Chris Rizik of SoulTracks as "a critical favorite",[3] charted at number 34 on the Billboard Top Black Albums chart. In his review of the album, music critic Robert Christgau praised husband Cecil Womack and wife Linda Womack as "[a]ce singers and songwriters (as opposed to singer-songwriters)", noting that "their lyrics about loss and conflict are sharper than those about love and happiness".[4]
Two singles from the album, "Love Wars" and "Baby I'm Scared of You", were hits in the UK, reaching number 14 and number 72 on the UK Singles Chart, respectively.[5] The album was ranked number 4 among the "Albums of the Year" for 1984 by NME, and the single "Love Wars" was ranked as the year's number 1 song.[6]
