  • Pushkin Loves Love Songs: Babyface, Broken Hearts, and the Best Genre for Love
    Feb 14 2025

    Nothing says romance like a perfect playlist—except, maybe, a special network-wide episode about love songs.

    In this Valentine’s Day special, Broken Record hosts Justin Richmond and Leah Rose make their cases: is R&B the undisputed sound of love? Are sad songs more romantic? Can country win the day?

    Plus, the legendary songwriter Babyface talks about how young love shaped his most enduring ballads, Malcolm Gladwell breaks down the perfect break up song, and Ben Naddaff-Hafrey writes a love song of his own.

    Whether you're mid-swoon or nursing a broken heart, this episode is our valentine to you.

    Listen to Broken Record’s interview with Babyface.

    Listen to a Revisionist History episode about sad songs.

    And hear more from Ben’s band, Rookin.

    Plus, our battle of the playlists continues… here’s Leah’s sad songs playlist. And Justin’s for love songs. Pick your fighter and… enjoy!
