30 New Songs Added to Valentine's Day Amazon Original Playlists LOVE ME and LOVE ME NOT

Today, February 9, Amazon Music adds 30 new songs to the Amazon Original playlists "Love Me," and "Love Me Not." Each playlist offers original songs and covers from artists of various genres to help satisfy the lovers and the haters this Valentine's Day. The pair of playlists, available on Amazon Music Unlimited and Prime Music, offer recordings that embrace the love - or in some cases - ease the pain of heartbreak. Find them both at www.amazon.com/lovemelovemenot.

LOVE ME

On "Love Me," listeners will find Dan Auerbach's upbeat original, "Up On a Mountain of Love," and Common Holly's "dazzling" (Billboard) take on Frank Ocean's "Thinkin Bout You." The legendary John Prine offers a stripped-down version of Johnny Cash's "The Ways of a Woman in Love," (which premiered via Garden & Gun) while Dominican singer-songwriter Alex Ferreira delivers a romantic cover of Juan Luis Guerra's "La Bilirrubina."

New Zealand's Marlon Williams contributes a stunning "choir version" of the title track to his sophomore album "Make Way For Love (With Pou Tiriao Singers)," and the legendary DJ Premier collaborates with newcomer Torii Wolf for the original song, "Silent Crow." The playlist also features the debut song "Mollie and Luke" from up and comers, T?th.

"Love Me" also features the new, original song "Somebody" by Amazon's "Weekly One" alumni and rising star, Jillian Jacqueline. Jillian was the first artist ever chosen for "Weekly One", an Amazon Music program highlighting one song by an emerging artist every week.

LOVE ME NOT

For the heartbroken, Alexi Murdoch, also contributes a beautifully haunting version of Roy Harper's "Another Day" featuring Valgeir Sigurðsson and Nico Mulhy for the "Love Me Not" playlist, his first release in seven years. New Brunswick, NJ's Screaming Females offer a powerful take on Annie Lennox's "No More I Love You's," and Jay Som offers a newly written original, "Hot Bread," following her breakthrough year in 2017. NPR Music premiered "Hot Bread" and said, "Duterte's pleading voice and pensive guitar give the tune a light, vintage feel with a tinge of sadness. About halfway through, whistling and trumpets interrupt the song with a cheery melody, jolting you out of the melancholy chorus."

SoCal Country artist Sam Outlaw recorded a twangy song of heartbreak entitled "Diamond Ring," and psychedelic pop band of Montreal cover Molly Drake's "Love Isn't A Right." of Montreal's Kevin Barnes told Stereogum, "I first heard Molly Drake's music in a Nick Drake documentary I saw a few years ago. I was touched by the elegance and sad beauty of her work. I've grown to adore and treasure all of her songs. I chose to cover 'Love Isn't A Right' because it felt relevant to my own life, as I have recently fallen in love. I like that the song is instructive and profound but also playful and intelligent in a way that songs about love often aren't."
