Valentine’s Day is more than just the seminal masterpiece<\/a> starring Bradley Cooper, Jessica Alba, and Ashton Kutcher\u00a0(I kid, I kid). It’s a day of flowers, candy, and hiding away in your apartment listening to sad songs on repeat.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If Adele’s 21<\/em> has invaded too many of your Spotify playlists, Taleen Kali’s latest single “Baby Love” will fill your I-bought-myself-chocolate disposition. Originally recorded by The Supremes in 1964, “Baby Love” has that classic Diana Ross cool to it – a detached sadness that pairs perfectly with a shoulder length bob and a glittering pantsuit. Kali’s cover combines a modern beat with a ’60s surfer vibe vocal; it’s a definitively West Coast rendition, the kind of tune Don Draper would spin in his California bungalow. If you’re looking for a gimmick, look elsewhere *cough Weezer*<\/a>; Kali retains much of the original song’s melancholy, while adding in a style that is all her own.<\/div>\n
