Mixtapes with a love theme are probably those that have been made most often. After all, it is surely the very reason for which mixtapes exist, to gather our favorite songs on a good old tape and to give it to the loved one for him or her to listen to once at home, stars in eyes.

Needless to say, love is a feeling that everyone lives differently. Yet, it has its constancy, the few common features that we all know about. I wanted to capture that universal feeling and leave everyone the opportunity to associate their own passions to a personal music that inspires us all.

I then started by sorting all of the songs that evoke the theme. The introduction had to be happy, a real bliss that reflects the first moments of a relationship. Then, I had to come up with darker creations, where doubt takes part in the dance. I wanted to embody the complexity of this feeling, which contributes to its beauty, and for this, I had to bring bedroom pop and other subversive and psychedelic music. But I also wished to finish on a positive note, the reason why I used some power pop, the style of music that I believe has best embodied the feeling of love. There’s no coincidence that all of the legends of the genre dedicated their best tunes to it, and I couldn’t imagine this mixtape without including some Milk’N’Cookies and Ramones. Once everything was done, all that remained was for me to mix everything and submit it to you.
