It’s 2021, the year that Taylor Swift is releasing her re-recording of Fearless, so that’s the list. Thanks for stopping by.

Kidding! Mostly. With albums due from Adele, Frank Ocean, and if there is a lord in heaven, Lorde, 2021 is bound to produce a bountiful crop of love songs. And don’t we deserve it after the isolation and gloom of 2020? Fortunately, just two months in, the collective music industry has cranked out a whole library of love songs to get you going. Yes, the heavy hitters are on the way, but you can't ignore the love fest out there right now.
