Love & Sas was a Canadian duo consisting of Lovena Fox and Saskia Garel. Both ladies had been involved in music from an early age, Lovena in Vancouver and Saskia in Toronto. Both did vocals for other artists and performed in local musical theatre. The two were brought together by BMG A&R man and noted rock producer David Bendeth. Described as Canada's answer to Salt N' Pepa (which is very misleading since they weren't really rappers), the duo released their first single "I Don't Need Yo' Kiss", a pop-rap hybrid that achieved success on the Canadian charts. Their next single, the house song "Call My Name", achieved even greater success on the Canadian charts and even received attention in the US and UK dance clubs. They released an album by the same name and their next single, the soul/pop track "Don't Stop Now", also became a Canadian hit. Their last single would be the ballad "Once In A Lifetime". During the course of their union they won two Juno awards (the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy). But they broke up soon after due to "creative differences". The two would follow similar career paths following the dissolution of the group, however. Both have acted extensively in television and have done back-up vocals for other artists. Both have been praised for roles in the Canadian productions of popular musicals, most notably Ragtime for Lovena and Rent for Saskia. They have also both released independent solo albums. But in my mind, it all pales next to this fantastic album, which mixes pop, house, R&B, rap and even reggae to create a tasty and diverse pop album. I have my fingers crossed that the two will see how awesome it would be if they reformed. They both still look and sound fabulous, and Canada needs some fun injected back into it's music scene.Video for I Don't Need Yo' Kiss
