Nothing says romance like a perfect playlist&mdash;except, maybe, a special network-wide episode about love songs. In this Valentine&rsquo;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.&nbsp; Whether you're mid-swoon or nursing a broken heart, this episode is our valentine to you.
