The Valentine Beat: 5 Songs That Will Inspire Love

DJ Able One has been a top notch DJ for more than 10 years.

For longer than that Able also know as Shawn Wright has been a crate digger and man that has both archived classic sounds and helped spread the word about new artists on the scene.

So when we asked Able One for 5 Slow Jams for this Valentine's Day (the night before he spins at Sam's Bar and Grille)...Able One did not disappoint!



1) Lotus Flower by Wale fea Miguel. This is quality rap song that has the right combination of mature conversational lyrics from Wale and exceptional singing my Miguel. Wale's opening line of "I want to enjoy the luxury of not knowing each other" is a great opening. Wale expressing in interest in his lady without any syrupy sweet cliché lines. In a masculine manners he sincerely expresses his interest and affections to his lady and back up by Miguel's tenor/falsetto it works. the track is a head nodder that is simultaneously mellow enough to put a move on your girl all at the same time.

2) Be Here by Raphael Saadiq fea D'Angelo. This song is one of the finest male duets of Neo Soul R&B you can set the mood to. Both bring distinctive vocals and lyrics to an infectous beat. Romantic sentiment in the vocal delivery and the bass groove is killing. D'Angelo closes the song with some notes that will get your woman open.

3) Love Thirst by Jean Grey. Vocally, rically and track production, this is an all round SEXY record. The whispery singing/sexy kitten ad lids through the song and on the hook is addicting. Jean drops some lyrics that are beautifully aggressive, virtually cinematic.










4) Take Off The Blues by The Foreign Exchange fea Darien Brockington. The lyrics paint a picture dude telling his woman to let him ease her mind of the everyday stress and to relax enjoy a shared moment. the grove is enough for close two-step in the lounge spot...or at home in the living room.










5) Do You Feel Me by Anthony Hamilton. This song has that Al Green and Otis Redding feel to the point that you would thing that this song came out in the 60's. The dude's southern drawl is a throwback to a time when you men could sing like their heart was tearing in a manly manner. Nothing soft except for the sentiment of emotion. Nothing wrong with that.

 

Happy Valentine's To All and neither The AC beat Nor Shawn Wright are responsible for any children born as a result of this list.
