If you’re looking for a sexy love song sung by a male vocalist, you can’t go wrong with this one: “Stay with You,” a mellow love song by R&B singer John Legend.

It’s an exquisitely moody track where his vocals ride over a restrained, mature, and solid arrangement; even the subtle nuances of his breathing add to the drama.

The song carries a message about facing hardships together as a couple—perfect for listening with someone special on an important anniversary.

John Legend is an American singer-songwriter who is now also thriving as a music producer.

Among his works, one especially cool track I highly recommend is “Used to Love U.” Released in 2004, it’s one of the songs that put John Legend’s name on the map.

The song’s biggest appeal is, without a doubt, the chorus—the powerful, gospel-tinged hook really stands out.

Be sure to give it a listen.

A collaboration between John Legend, a young master of American soul, and Muni Long, who has written songs for countless big stars.

It’s a wonderfully satisfying track that blends the wistful, old-school soul music that’s an American specialty with post–hip-hop beats.

The lyrics follow the tradition of classic blues, telling the story of a man doing everything he can to win a woman’s favor, and employing double meanings that allow a single phrase to carry two interpretations.

In both its musicality and its lyrics, it’s the kind of mature love song that’s not very common in Japan.
