Loryn's Favorite Things: the sexy love songs edition

Well, as you all may remember i did a favorite things post which talked about various clothes, shoes, cell phones, etc. that i like. this time, i'm going to take a different approach.

on my last go around as a blogger, i had a list of songs on my playlist to "get you in the mood." i was actually in competition to see if i had a better playlist than my boy.


now, contrary to popular belief, I think i came up on top cuz i had more classics ;-) but this time i'm going to do a list of some of my favorite slow jams. this could be long, but i'm gonna keep it at ten.

Maxwell-Til the Cops Come Knockin

do i have to explain about this song? it's so sexy. i mean he hits you with the "lock you up in love for days"! that's crazy to me.

janet jackson-anytime, any place

i don't know what's sexier the song or the video. but this joint will get it poppin fa sho.

prince-do me baby
i'm not going to explain this one. it's prince, dammit.

pharrell williams-take it off (dim the lights)
see, i normally wouldn't include this one, but i think it's just my favorite at the moment. real nice lil track by pharrell on a not so cool album (his solo album was so underwhelming it's sad.)

floetry-say yes
the chorus will get you EV-ER-Y-TIME. all you gotta do is say yes/don't deny what you feel let me undress you baby/open up yr mind and just rest/i'm about to let you know/you make me so...

and anything can be after that "so"! i love it. floetry will be on this list again, trust and believe

R. Kelly-seems like you're ready
now mind you, it's a little creepy, cuz this song COULD be a bout a teenage girl, but it is a classic in the mood song and i don't thinkt there's been anything made that has this sort of quintessential value in the last ten years.

Bob Marley-Turn the Lights Down Low
who DOESN'T like this song? esp. the remake with lauryn hill. real nice, chill out song. makes you wanna grab your sweetheart and just hold each other on the dancefloor and move real slow.

floetry-lay down
if you haven't heard it, you're sleeping.

maxwell-sumthin sumthin (mellosmooth mix)
i mean besides the fact that it's on arguably one of the sexiest soundtracks of all time (love jones)...just a hot song to me. beautifully arranged, lovely falsetto, and it's maxwell.

musiq-settle for my love
i probably need a late pass for this one. but...this song is beautiful, i discovered it just last month. a simply, sweet song. i hear patrice rushen did it first. so if any of you out in cyberspace have a copy of her version, send it on like d'angelo.
