Music has always been a huge part of my life and some of my most treasured, intimate and emotional memories are instantly ignited with the pluck of a guitar string, or the press of a key. So, it’s of little surprise to me that people are now using it to get lucky (or try to anyway). The relationship between tunes and romance stems way back to the mix-tapes of the 80s, the CDs of the 90s and the Spotify playlists of today.
Dating app Happn seem to be in-tune (pun claxon) to the power of music more so than any other, introducing a Spotify element to the app. You can now send songs to a potential crush – and let’s face it, lyrics often say things better than we ever could.
Music speaks volumes about a person, no matter how loud it’s played. We identify with certain songs at different times, and those tracks change significantly with our mood. Are you currently an Indie Cindy? Hip-Hop Hottie? Dance Diva? Genre/Gender mash-ups aside (I could do this all day), we’re all looking for a like-minded someone who loves jamming to our favourite tune. But how d’you find them when everyone’s whizzing around with headphones in?
Whether you’re looking for a long-term lover or really you’re just after a quicky (no shame in that), you can almost guarantee there will be a song to get the ball rolling. These 15 people gave it a go and now I just can’t wait to get involved.
