Love making playlist songs
|
Someday in the not-too-distant future, well be touching one another again. After nearly a year and a half of careful social distancing, of keeping our droplets to ourselves, of staying home and low-key panicking, physical contact is a beguiling possibility. You just might meet someone outside of your quarantine pod, and for the first time in a long time, you just might take them home. But will you remember what to do once youre there? Has a global pandemic brought you back to high-school-sophomore levels of intimacy-related awkwardness and fumbling? Will it be like riding a bike, or have your moves gathered dust like that Peloton in the corner? You cant risk it. You need help, and music will give it to you. You may not to know what to do with your hands in 2021, but Prince did in 1981, and you can put on Do Me, Baby and try to keep up. You may not fit into your best suit right now, but you better believe Bryan Ferry looked good in his in 1985, so play Slave To Love and let his confidence be yours. Soon enough youll be so back in the saddle the lyrics to Ginuwines Pony will resonate in fresh, new ways. We have our favorite sexy songs, and you will find them here. But in this crucial moment, we thought it wise to call in some experts. Who better to help curate a passionate playlist than the artists whove made some of the hottest music of the last few years: Lil Nas X, Perfume Genius, Janelle Monáe and more. Theyve picked songs to heighten the mood, to sand down the rough edges, to get the blood pumping. Turn them on, and prepare for a sexy summer.

Judge for yourself. Yves Tumor and Diana Gordon - "Kerosene!" Bryan Ferry "Slave To Love" If your sexy weekend plans include the removal of a white dinner jacket, this is the song for you. The extended, shrieking orgasm in the middle of this song, after which Prince audibly shivers and says "I'm so cold," is the Princiest thing that ever happened. Sade - "No Ordinary Love" "Could be any of her songs, but it has to be Sade. Just put it on." - Picked by Mike Hadreas (Perfume Genius). Mazzy Star "Fade Into You" Mid-1990s indie rock was many things, but sexy was rarely one of themthat is until this song came along. The Velvet Underground - Venus in Furs Believe it or not I dont really remember losing my virginity, but I do remember the second time and the second time 'Venus in Furs' was playing by the Velvet Underground and nothing encapsulates pent up sexual tension and senior year pre college angst better than this track." - Picked by Mykki Blanco R.E.M. "Pretty Persuasion" Michael Stipe's sexual confusion filtered through his inscrutable lyrics, a full decade before such things became fashionable. Lil Nas X - Montero (Call Me By Your Name) Eurythmics "Love Is a Stranger" Early in their career, Eurythmics took their icy synths and drum machines and made the most mysterious and sexy moment of 1983. "La La Means I Love You" - The Delfonics Picked by Kamasi Washington. Bruce Springsteen "For You" From Springsteen's underrated early-'70s beach-bohemian period, this is a gorgeous, aching, abstract moment of pure desire. Sigur Ros "Svefn-g-englar" Sung in a whisper, in a language that might not even exist, and yet: you get it. Hell Yes Alyx - "Stop Time" Picked by serpentwithfeet. Half of the Esquire team thinks this song is sexy, the other half thinks it's ridiculous, and 100 percent of us are correct. Ive chosen 'Tha' by Aphex Twin because I think its a song that doesnt dominate your environment in any way. Its a soundtrack that can be gently there without putting you in a specific genre, and honors the sexuality between two people because its just atmospheric. - Picked by Rhye. From Roxy Music's early 1980s elegant-sexiness era. You know what, just let the whole album play. Diana Ross and Marvin Gaye - "Just Say, Just Say" Picked by Michael McDonald. The Weeknd "I Feel It Coming" Jeff Buckley - "Lover, You Should Have Come Over" It's hard to isolate one sexiest song from Buckley's classic Grace album, but this wounded masterpiece is a good place to start. SAINt Jhn - Brilliant Bitch "It speaks for itself." - Picked by SAINt Jhn Flying Burrito Brothers "Hot Burrito #1" We don't often explore loss of virginity from a male perspective, as Gram Parsons does here. Suggestive and sad at the same time. Eunice Collins - At The Hotel The song serves as a reminder to take the moment in, lets take it easy, imagine were living lavish in a hotel and here we are. Eunice Collins silky voice carries you from verse to verse and youre left thinking, dang, should I get a room? - Picked by Hooveriii Maxwell "Sumthin' Sumthin'" The smoothest of the mid-'90s R&B smoothies. What he suggests here is vague, and we're on board for whatever it is. Picked by Blame My Youth. Yes, yes: "Wicked Game" is very sexy. But take yourself back to 1985 for his first single, in which he arrives fully formed. "Not only is their band name obviously hugely motivating, but this tune provides the perfect blend of lazy Sunday morning pre-coffee duties and a euphoric Friday night Lionel Richie sesh. Goes without saying that the rest of the album takes the vibes up a gear and really gets the worm going too..." - Picked by Toby Richards of ISLAND Rihanna would go on to make more overtly sexual songs, but this one gets the job done. This track and the punch line resumes what I love about playing with a lady, it's about the foreplay before, the way I can seduce her, its all about setting a Mood for later - Picked by Rauw Alejandro The Afghan Whigs "Debonair" If your sexual feelings are a little angrier, but that Nine Inch Nails song is too on the nose, you reach for The Afghan Whigs. Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin "Je T'aime...Moi Non Plus" Is this song "sexy," or is this song "actual sex?" Really only one way to find out. It is of course a cliché. It is of course absurd. But no 1990s sexy lounge environment was complete without it. Sophie B. Hawkins "Damn! I Wish I Was Your Lover" I mean, sometimes the direct approach is the best choice.
