Love Wars is the 1983 debut album by musical duo Womack & Womack. The album, described by Chris Rizik of Soul Tracks as "a critical favorite",[1] charted at #34 on the Billboard "Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums" chart. In his review of the album, music critic Robert Christgau praises 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".[2] Two singles from the album, "Love Wars" and "Baby I'm Scared of You", were hits in the UK, reaching #14 and #72 on the "UK Singles" charts, respectively.[3]
