Enter, if you dare, the glitter-soaked crypt of Love & Kisses ๐๐๐โa sonic reliquary of forbidden disco, tragic devotion, and heaving synths. It begins, as all great love affairs do, with Barry Manilow sobbing into his ruffled sleeves, and ends with Giorgio Moroder chasing ghosts through the neon catacombs of the clurb.
In between? Eleven sacred rites of heartbreak and glamour featuring high priestesses like Donna Summer, Stevie Nicks, ABBA, and those fevered falsetto monks, the Bee Gees. There is yearning. There is lipstick. There is a key change that might open a portal to Studio 54.
This mix is not for the faint of heart. It's for the brokenhearted, the overdressed, and the eternally dramatic. Put it on. Lie back. Cry in the bathtub. Or slow-motion strut through the ruins of your latest situationship. The dancefloor is eternal. So is the ache.
