Here's a collection of my favorite love songs. The first four were really the driving force to make this list, but every one of 'em is sexy as hell.

D'Angelo- Everybody Loves The Sunshine Download audio file (Everybody-Loves-The-Sunshine. mp3) Here we are with Innervisions Vol. 5 . For those of you who are new to the compilation series, it was inspired by Stevie Wonder's 1973 classic record. On these mixes, I include a lot of old-school soul, funk, R&B and blend it with some modern songs for a trippy experience. You should feel like you stepped into a time machine either to the past or the future [...]
