Aside from the heavily inflated prices of flowers, chocolates, and soft toys on February 14, the notion of love and sharing that with a special someone (whoever it is) is still a pretty special one. Even the most cynical among us can’t resist it and Perth DJ Amber Akilla is the first to admit this.

“I think the version of Valentine’s Day that is the over-capitalisation of hetero-normative love in 2017 is overrated… but I still love to crush, love to love, love to hate, and love to make dramatic emotional projections that become content for memes. This mix is a selection of some of my favourite love-themed tracks to listen to while you text your crush.”

What follows is a compilation of some of today’s best rap and R&B heaters and will probably convince you to send a highly regrettable text at some point this evening. Hit play below.
