Shakira, Patti, Diana, Mazzy, and the ringing in our ears. These are the musical loves of our lives.
Per Valentine's Day tradition, friends of RUSSH have penned love letters to their favourite songs or albums. Songs that make us dance, songs that make us cry, songs that make us fall in love and songs that tap the well of our emotions. We all have them, and these are ours.
Collated by content editor Ella Jane and contributing editor Kitty Callaghan with accompanying collages by Kitty Callaghan, this is an ode to the way music makes us feel.
Forever mine, forever yours.
