VA - Now Thats What I Call A Love Song (2023)

George Michael’s beautiful ‘I Can’t Make You Love Me’ opens the first disc and is followed by two massive #1s from Ed Sheeran and Lewis Capaldi. Heartbreak anthems from Olivia Rodrigo, Amy Winehouse, and Christine Perri are up next alongside classic airplay smashes from Fugees with ‘Killing Me Softly’, Natalie Imbruglia with ‘Torn’ and ‘Stay With Me’ from Sam Smith alongside Sade, and Paloma Faith. The first disc finishes in epic cinematic style with Céline Dion’s ‘My Heart Will Go On’ and ‘I Will Always Love You’ from Whitney Houston.
A breath-taking run of timeless songs kicks off disc 2 from Elton John, Sting, Billy Joel, and Norah Jones, along with 90s classics from Seal, Oleta Adams, and Julee Cruise. Some recent poignant love songs follow from Lana Del Rey, George Ezra, Hozier, and Kacey Musgraves – plus noughties gold from James Morrison & Nelly Furtado, Daniel Bedingfield and Leona Lewis.
Disc 3 is all about modern, sophisticated pop, led by the brilliant collaborations ‘Nothing Breaks Like A Heart’ between Mark Ronson and Miley Cyrus, and Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa on ‘One Kiss’. ‘All Of Me’ from John Legend, ‘Jealous’ from Labrinth, and ‘no tears left to cry’ by Ariana Grande are stellar examples of truly great love songs, as are pop infused hits from Kylie Minogue, Little Mix, Rita Ora and Justin Bieber. The disc winds to a close by taking in some fantastic vocalists including John Mayer, James Bay, and Tom Walker.
