BAZAAR Playlist: Songs For You To Fall Head-Over-Heels In Love With
From timeless, croon-along ballads of the ‘60s to the left-field synths of new-wave yearning, we’ve curated the ultimate playlist of love songs to soundtrack your weekend too
Another weekend, another stay-home mandate, which means your dreams of beach-club fun must stay exactly that – dreams. But no need to sulk, we’ve done some whimsical editing that will be music to your ears, quite literally.
Whether you’re looking for something sweet and light to soundtrack your Saturday-morning tradition of newspaper supplements and a steaming-cafetieres, or on a discovery for something with a little more depth as you soak up the sun from your balcony, we’ve put together a line-up of tender tunes that will bring a heady dose of love to your isolated air.
From Elton John’s timeless ‘Your Song’ (the most popular first dance song ever, FYI) to the masterful seduction of FKA Twig’s ‘Two Weeks’, we’re here to encourage dancing, singing, nostalgia and tears – preferably all at once. Happy listening!
