Lights on, lights off? Music off, music on? I can tell you right now the latter options are the way to go if you’re looking to make your bedroom activities with your lover extra special. And because Valentine’s Day is upon us, no one wants to be without their sex soundtrack come curtain closing time which is why I’ve volunteered to lend you suggestions to get you started.
Once you’ve added these songs to your playlist all you have to do now is press play, and thank me later.
1. Lullabies – Yuna
This tune by Yuna is incredibly sweet and sensual, and the perfect song to start off your steamy night.
2. Warm Water – Banks
I had such a hard time deciding which Banks record to include on this list, and if you’ve listened to her soulful, sexy debut record Goddess then you know exactly why. Along with the song’s hypnotic instrumentals, Banks’ lusty, craving lyrics give her tune and very hot-blooded rhythm.
3. Body Party – Ciara
Ahh! I seriously could not tell you how often I listened to this song since its release two years ago. It doesn’t even feel like it’s been that long, but Ciara’s strip-teasing tune has become a staple on all my after hours playlists.
4. How’s That – FKA twigs
If you’ve been keeping up on Robert Pattinson news lately, then you’ve probably heard about his talented R&B-singing girlfriend, FKA twigs, here and there. “How’s That” is just one of the singer’s many clothes-dropping tunes you should have on your playlist.
5. Love Me Harder – Ariana Grande
You’re probably already listening to this one on your iPod right now, which means you’ve definitely got the right idea!
6. Get Together – Madonna
No sexy playlist is complete without Madonna, and this song is no exception.
7. Adore You – Miley Cyrus
Nowadays, Miley Cyrus and “sex” are becoming more and more synonymous with one another but sometimes for the wrong reasons. This song, however, has sex written all over it. From its suggestive video to its emotionally driven lyrics, “Adore You” is a romantic tune you’ll certainly want playing in the bedroom.
8. It’s In The Mornin’ (feat. Snoop Dogg) – Robin Thicke
Can we just, for a moment, forget about Robin Thicke’s plights over the past year and just reminisce about the wonderful music he made during his prime? His voice on this song is just so damn warm and inviting that he makes it difficult to resist his sex appeal.
9. Get Lucky (Cover) – Karen Souza
You’ve probably heard many covers of Daft Punk & Pharrell’s insanely catchy tune “Get Lucky,” and while I mostly always favor the original, I must admit that this cover takes the cake! If you really want to get lucky tonight, you’d better have Karen Souza’s deliciously sexy version of the hit song on your list!
10. Crazy In Love (Cover) – Sofia Karlberg
Can we just start a slow clap for Ms. Sofia Karlberg’s mindblowing rendition of Beyonce’s “Crazy In Love,” for the new Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack? Oh. My. Gd! If you’re expecting to strip down for your lover this evening then you might as well add Sofia’s sexy, stripped down version of Queen Bey’s hallmark hit.
This is only a handful of the songs I plan to get lucky to this Valentine’s Day, but I am always open to more!
