Erotically yours*
Valentine’s Day playlists often lean into the obvious: saccharine ballads, predictable pop duets, and the same love songs recycled year after year.
For those who appreciate romance with a twist, Rat d’hôtel presents a different kind of Valentine’s Day songs. It’s a selection of tracks that whisper, tease, and envelop you in a haze of nostalgia, seduction, and longing. A mix of jazz, soul, global grooves, and cinematic sounds that set the mood without dictating it.
A Journey Through Sound and Desire
From Sultry Jazz to Cinematic Intrigue
Pat Metheny Group’s So May It Secretly Begin eases you into the night—soft, lingering, almost like a hand tracing your skin. Hubert Laws follows with Feel Like Makin’ Love, a dreamy instrumental take on Roberta Flack’s classic, while Ramsey Lewis’ Portuguese Love adds a touch of velvet-smooth sensuality.
The journey continues with Deodato, Novecento, and Al Jarreau’s I Want You More, brimming with yearning, before Weather Report’s The Pursuit of the Woman with the Feathered Hat injects cinematic mystery. A masterpiece !
Miki Matsubara’s Mayonaka no Door / Stay with Me introduces a retro Japanese city-pop glow, while Lena and the Deep Soul’s Sexy Man brings a flirtatious, playful energy. And for contemporary soul lovers, Daniel Caesar and Kali Uchis’ Get You is a modern-day slow-burner drenched in longing.
Global Romance & Obscure Gems
From Morocco, Driss El Maloumi’s Douceur pour 2 R is an intimate, evocative instrumental, while Sudanese artist Abdel Gadir Salim’s Nujum Al-lail carries the weight of love under the night sky.
Lizzy Mercier Descloux’s interpretation of My Funny Valentine is raw, unusual, and irresistibly cool, while Joan Chamorro’s Feeling Good adds a smoky jazz club allure.
Moving through genres and decades, Krisy’s Erotiquement votre and Enchantée Julia’s VENUS add French sensuality, while David Walters & K.O.G’s Gimme Love keeps the groove alive.
Eroticism in Sound
This playlist isn't afraid to flirt with the erotic. Tracks like Kamasutra and Shindai Lovers by Vampire Sound Inc. or Gert Wilden’s Sexy Girls and Dirty Beat feel like forgotten soundtracks to vintage European cinema, dripping with intrigue and suggestion.
Astrud Gilberto’s Fly Me To The Moon and Stan Getz’s Só Danço Samba bring classic bossa nova romance, while Bunny Mack’s Let Me Love You (Acapella) is pure seduction in its rawest form.
And then there’s Blow Job by Bruce Haack—a mischievous, tongue-in-cheek nod to the avant-garde, for those who enjoy a little playful provocation in their sonic explorations.
Love, in All Its Forms
This Valentine’s Day, let this playlist accompany you—whether you’re sharing the evening with your lover(s), lost in solo reveries, or simply reveling in the many textures of intimacy. Love is never just one thing; it is multifaceted, unexpected, and at times, deliciously strange. Just like these songs.
