During Valentine’s season, a lot of us like to get into the spirits of things and listen to some love songs and ballads. Here is a list of a few of my favorite love songs and ballads to get you in the Valentine’s spirit.
Laufey – Valentine
Laufey’s newest hit has immediately become one of my new favorite love songs. It talks about unexpectedly falling in love with someone. Laufey’s beautiful harmonies and sweet-as-honey voice are the absolute selling points for this song.
Dean Martin – Innamorata (Sweetheart)
Dean Martin’s voice holds the key to a classic love song: smooth vocals with lots of emotion behind it. Dean Martin has a lot of love songs in his repertoire, and this one is a perfect example of his famous love ballads.
Peachy! and mxmtoon – Falling for U
This song perfectly blends the Lo-Fi genre with a love ballad to produce this cute collaboration between Oakland artist mxmtoon and Atlanta artist Peachy! to create a cute story about falling for your friend. I think that this song represents a very pure kind of love, and I find it super fun to listen to when I’m trying to get into the spirit of Valentine’s Day.
Phil Collins – You’ll Be In My Heart
I grew up watching Disney films and this soundtrack forever lives in my head rent-free. This song is such a banger of a love song, and I play it every February without fail. Phil Collins’ smooth vocals and amazing lyricism splendidly fuse to create this masterpiece of a song.
Ed Sheeran – Thinking Out Loud
This song is such a classic, modern love song. Ed Sheeran perfectly captures the feelings of what you feel for that special someone as you grow old together. There is a reason why this song is so popular to play at weddings!
