Valentine's Day: The Day of Love (and crooners) ❤️

Why Valentine’s Day Is the Ultimate Holiday for Crooners

Of course, we should celebrate love every single day. Love for your partner, your family, your friends. But having one day where we consciously pause and give it a little extra attention is never excessive. Valentine’s Day is a beautiful moment to slow down and say, “You mean everything to me.” And if there is one musical style that perfectly embodies that sentiment, it is crooner music.


Warmth, Authenticity, and Connection

When a crooner sings, you feel the warmth. The voice feels close. Personal. Not as if it is sung to the masses, but to one specific person. That is exactly what love is. Warmth. Attention. Making someone feel truly seen. Valentine’s Day is not necessarily about grand gestures, but about that one look, that one song, that one sentence spoken at exactly the right moment. Crooner music breathes that feeling.

A crooner does not convince with technical tricks, but with sincerity. The words have to be believable. You have to feel that the story is real. Love works the same way. Having the courage to honestly and vulnerably express what you feel. The most beautiful love songs are timeless because they are true. They do not tell a fairy tale, but a feeling that people all over the world recognize. That is why songs by Sinatra, Dean Martin, or Nat King Cole still sound as if they were written yesterday.


The connection between singer and listener may be the most important element of all. It is the art of creating the feeling that you are part of the same story. Love is exactly that. Connection. Looking at each other and knowing: we belong together.


On Valentine’s Day, everything revolves around that moment of connection. Sitting together at the table. Relaxing together on the couch. Maybe even dancing together in the living room to a song that tells your story. And what could be more beautiful than a soundtrack that strengthens that moment?



Love Songs

In short, Valentine’s Day is the ultimate holiday for crooners because crooner music revolves around warmth, authenticity, and connection. They are the very same three pillars on which true love is built.


Would you like to surprise someone this weekend with a lasting memory? Then consider getting tickets to my theater tours Close To You or Keep The Great Crooners Alive, where I share more about love and crooners and, together with incredible musicians, perform the most beautiful songs of all time.


Not able to attend the shows? Then check out my webshop! My albums Just Call It Love and Souvenirs are temporarily available at a significant discount. Because flowers fade and chocolate disappears, but a concert or a song you share together lasts forever.
