My Favourite Love Songs

Valentine's Day is coming up (Monday 14th Feb), so I thought I would share my favourite love/sexy songs! Good for getting into a loving vibe. :)


Lumidee feat. Shaggy- Feel Like Makin' Love

First up is Feel Like Makin' Love by American rapper and singer Lumidee and featuring Jamaican rapper Shaggy. Lumidee (full name Lumidee Cedeño) is probably best known for her 2003 single Never Leave You (Uh Ooh, Uh Ooh) and also Crazy with Pitbull in 2007, (although I think Crazy was either not released in the US, or didn't do as well as it did here in the UK).

Feel Like Makin' Love is from her 2nd album Unexpected (which came out in 2007). It's a cover of Roberta Flack's 1975 song. Lumidee and Shaggy's version was released as a single in 2007. I don't think it came out over here, as I didn't actually know there was a video for this until looking it up for this post!  I also didn't know it was a cover, lol.



Lumidee is still releasing music, her latest album is 10 13 (2021). Keep up with her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lumidee/

Sarah Connor- The Loving Permission

Next is The Loving Permission by German singer Sarah Connor. It's from her 2nd album Unbelievable which was released in 2001 (over 20 years ago now!!).

I featured The Loving Permission in my Top 10 Songs post back in 2014 (No. 3 on the list): https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2014/08/top-10-songs.html


Koda Kumi- feel

feel (written in lower case) is one of my favourite songs by the Japanese singer Koda Kumi (or Kumi Koda in Western terms). It's from her BEST ~second session~ album and was released in January 2006. It was No. 1 on the list in my Top 10 Koda Kumi Songs post and No. 4 in my Top 10 Songs. 

You can watch it directly on YouTube here, since Avex videos are blocked from being displayed on 3rd party sites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gA7jFTie9mw

This is the full version (Kumi's record company Avex doesn't always upload full videos). There is an intro because the video is connected to others from the album. You can read more about that in this post: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2020/12/happy-20th-anniversary-koda-kumi.html

If you don't want to watch the intro (although I can't speak Japanese, I still like to watch it), the song starts about 50 seconds in. :)

Usher- Nice & Slow

Nice and Slow by American singer Usher is more of a "sex song" really! Although several of the songs in this post could also fit that category, lol. It was the 2nd single from his 1997 album My Way and came out in January 1998, reaching No. 1 in the both the US and the UK. (Getting nostalgia now!) The most famous single from My Way is U Make Me Wanna...

The Nice & Slow video features model/TV star and businesswoman Kimora Lee Simmons as Usher's love interest.

 


Vanessa White feat. Chloe Martini- Relationship Goals

Back in 2016 Vanessa White (member of British/Irish girl group The Saturdays) released her debut EP Chapter One. My favourite song from that is Relationship Goals, which is about seeing a future for your relationship. It was a collaboration with Polish music producer Chloe Martini.

I did a post about the EP and included Relationship Goals: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2016/02/vanessa-white-ep.html

You can also watch the video directly here (I had to replace it with an unofficial upload, since the official one was gone for some reason): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1od3aK0DaDc  


Hope you enjoyed the post. Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you have a good one, even if you're single (like me). :) What are your favourite love songs?

South Indian Videos

I've written several Bollywood posts this year but I don't feature South Indian music/films as much. So today I'm sharing some music and dance videos from Tollywood ( the Telugu language film industry) and Kollywood (the Tamil language film industry). :) Oo Antava Mawa- Pushpa- Dance Cover by Sonali First up is a dance cover of the song Oo Antava Mawa..Oo Oo Antava from the 2021 Tollywood film Pushpa: The Rise- Part 1 . I previously featured a dance cover of Oo Antava Mawa in a Dance Videos post in August last year. That one is by Rang De and you can see it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/08/dance-videos.html This cover is by Indian choreographer Sonali Bhaduria, from LiveToDance with Sonali and was uploaded in January 2022. It's a shorter video.   For more on Pushpa and to watch the official Oo Antava Mawa video, check out my Tollywood Videos Round-up 2 post from September 2023: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/09/tollywood-videos-round-up-2.html ...

Weekly Music Video

Sorry there wasn't a 2nd post last week, I was going through a bit of a stressful time and didn't manage to get one finished. :) This week's video is I CONDEMN by Australian singer and rapper The Kid LAROI . It was the first single from the deluxe version of his second album BEFORE I FORGET. The original album was released in January and the deluxe version came out on 24th April. It contains 9 extra tracks, including  I CONDEMN and latest single PIECES. I wasn't aware that there was a deluxe version until I saw that some new songs had appeared on Spotify! I like BEFORE I FORGET and my favourite songs from the original version are ME + YOU, JULY,  COME DOWN and RATHER BE featuring Australian rapper and singer Lithe . One of my fave songs on the deluxe version is QUIT YOU, and I also like HOLD STILL and I CONDEMN. The newest single PIECES came out on out the same day as the album. I CONDEMN was released on 17th April. As with the songs on the original BEFORE I FORGET, it...

K-pop Comebacks- BTS

Sorry the 2nd post is later again this week, I didn't manage to get it finished yesterday. :) Last month I started a mini series called K-pop Comebacks, featuring the comebacks of K-pop groups during 2026. The first one was about BLACKPINK and you can see it here:  https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2026/03/k-pop-comebacks-blackpink.html Today I'm focusing on BTS (one of the most popular Korean boybands ). They debuted in 2013 and are a 7-member group, made up of leader RM, formerly known as Rap Monster (real name Kim Nam Joon), SUGA (Min Yoon Gi), Jin (full name Kim Seok Jin), j-hope (Jung Ho-seok), Jimin (Park Ji Min), V (Kim Tae Hyung) and Jungkook (Jeon Jung Kook). * Since then, the boys have been very successful, not only in South Korea but internationally. They are probably one of the most well-known K-pop bands worldwide.  In June 2022, the group took a break while the members served their  mandatory military service in Korea and have also been concentrat...
