Man, let me tell you, sometimes you just get stuck on a song, right? You hear it once, maybe while driving, maybe while wrestling with a broken appliance, and it just grabs hold. That’s what happened with me and Romain Virgo’s “Rich in Love.”
I wasn’t actually looking for the album itself at first. I was just trying to figure out which specific version of the tune I had on my playlist. I was out in the garage, finally getting around to swapping out the old, rusted-out brakes on my ’98 F-150. Sweating like a pig, hands coated in brake dust, and I had some random reggae mix pumping through an old Bluetooth speaker I salvaged from a yard sale. Then that song hit. Pure gold. Smooth, powerful, the kind of track that makes 45 minutes of knuckle scraping feel like 15.
Now, I’m an old-school guy. When I find a killer track, I want the whole package. I don’t just want the single; I want to know the whole album narrative, who produced it, and what else they put out in that era. I decided right then and there that before I even touched the driver’s side brakes, I was going to secure the full tracklist and the official album name.
The Initial Hunt: Getting Bogged Down
I wiped my greasy hands on a rag and grabbed my phone. Step one, the obvious, right? Type the song title into the main search engine. That’s where the trouble started. You know how it is—you get 15 different links claiming to be the definitive source. One site listed it as a standalone single from 2018. Another insisted it was a bonus track on some obscure compilation album. A third claimed it was off his earlier work, The System.
I spent a good twenty minutes sifting through this garbage. I even tried the Shazam route, but the speaker placement was echoing too much off the metal tools, and the app kept misidentifying it as some cover version. I realized I was going to have to dive deeper than the surface level algorithm stuff. This required genuine detective work, the kind where you cross-reference label releases and catalog numbers, not just lyric snippets.
Pivoting Tactics: Hunting Down the Source
My strategy immediately shifted. I knew Romain Virgo has solid label backing, so I decided to bypass all the aggregation sites and try to track down the primary distributor’s catalog entry. I had to wrestle through three different fan forums where people were arguing about his best body of work. I skipped the arguments and just focused on the release dates they mentioned.
I zeroed in on the 2018 timeframe. That was the magic year most people referenced. I scoured the specialized music databases, the ones that catalog physical releases—the kind of places where people upload photos of the actual CD booklet or vinyl sleeve. I had to filter out all the noise: the mixtapes, the live cuts, the radio edits. I was looking for a studio album with a proper release date and a confirmed distributor.
After nearly an hour of this tedious, eye-straining work—I swear, trying to read tiny text on a screen covered in engine grease is a challenge—I finally locked onto the definitive album.
Why did I care so much? Because last year, I tried to track down a rare B-side from a Ska band, and I got totally misled by an incorrect tracklist online. I bought a ridiculously expensive imported CD only to find out the track wasn’t even on it. That time, I let the sloppy internet data beat me. Not this time. I was absolutely determined to get the real deal, confirmed, no errors.
The Final Confirmation: Unveiling the Tracklist
I confirmed through multiple trusted sources that the magnificent track, “Rich in Love,” is featured on the album Love Sick.
This album was a massive piece of work for Romain Virgo, released in 2018. It wasn’t just a collection of singles; it felt like a complete musical journey. Finding the official breakdown felt like unlocking a treasure chest. I wrote down the whole tracklist on a scrap of cardboard, right next to my wrench. It felt good to have the definitive record.
Here is the full tracklist I painstakingly verified. If you like “Rich in Love,” trust me, you need to hear the entire journey this album takes you on.
- Still In Love With You
- In This Song
- Love Sick
- Badda Man
- Taking You Home
- Now I Know
- Rich In Love
- Driver
- Gyal Dem Waah
- Perilous Time

The whole exercise, the digging, the filtering, the frustration—it was all worth it. I slammed my hood shut after that, cleaned off my hands, and immediately started listening to Love Sick from track one. If you’re like me and hate misinformation, sometimes you just have to put in the grunt work and find the real details yourself. The satisfaction of knowing you’ve got the full, true record is unbeatable. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I still have half a truck to repair, and I know exactly what I’m listening to.
