Lovers Lane is the debut album by M.C. Brains, released on March 17, 1992, through Motown.
The album is perhaps best known for its lead single, "Oochie Coochie", which became the only top-40 hit in M.C. Brains short career, peaking at number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album fared less well, only reaching number 47 on the Billboard 200. Brains' labelmates Boyz II Men were featured on the album's second single "Brainstorming", as well as the song entitled "Boyz II Men (The Sequel)". The latter song's chorus was interpolated in the group's second album, II (1994).
