It's Valentine's Day, of course, so what better than to snuggle up with your radio and enjoy The Power of Love?

Today Johann turns up the schmaltz levels to embarrassing new heights, for those who want the fountains, the pearls, the bubble baths, the rose petals, the cloudy filter effect… all that postcard iconography that marks such a day on the calendar. We’ve got the perfect songs for a day to celebrate the pomp and fantasy of being in love.

The show that takes you into the bedroom, and wraps you up in sheets of Egyptian cotton. Today we’re going to get down with some smoove jams from the golden age of 90s r n’b, as well as a couple of songs from artists that took cues from those rhythm patterns and made it their own. Surprise surprise.
