This album was released in 1985, at a time when Curtis Mayfield sought to revitalize his career after years of commercial ups and downs. Recorded at his own Curtom studios, the album reflects his commitment to messages of peace and love in a context of social tensions. Reception was moderate, without achieving major sales, but it maintained his loyal fan base.
The album's sound blends funk, soul, and elements of 80s electronic music, with prominent keyboards and synthesizers. Notable songs include the title track 'We Come in Peace with a Message of Love' and 'Love Me, Love Me Now', showcasing his characteristic smooth voice and hopeful lyrics.
Although not one of his most remembered works, the album represents Mayfield's perseverance in spreading positive messages. Its legacy lies in being a testament to his artistic evolution in the 1980s, before his tragic accident in 1990.
