Some of us love it, and others hate it, but either way, it’s here! Valentine’s Day has come, and in typical KXSU fashion, we’ve made a holiday playlist for it. Are you heartbroken? We’ve got some healing tunes just for you (also remember that you are important and special and you should never let a single Twitter egg or internet/real-life troll in the world convince you otherwise). Are you head-over-heels in love? We’ve got some romantic and sensual tunes for you, too! Either way, we love ya. Happy Valentine’s Day.
