Valentine's Day isn't for everyone. In fact, some people really loathe it. But on this episode of All Songs Considered we've decided to embrace the occasion by sharing a mix of less-obvious, off-the-radar love songs you can include in a playlist or mixtape for that special someone.

Alt.Latino host Anamaria Sayre and NPR Music editor Lars Gotrich joins host Robin Hilton.

Featured artists and songs:

1. Linda Diaz: "Watching Ourselves Die (feat. Solomon Fox)" (single)
2. Gal Costa: "Baby," from Gal Gosta
3. Mirah: "Engine Heart," from You Think It's Like This, But Really It's Like This
4. Paloma Murphy: "me faltas tú" (single)
5. Stretch Armstrong: "For Now," from Rituals of Life
6. Tender Forever: "Then If I'm Weird, I Want To Share," from The Soft And The Hardcore
7. Xavi: "Tu Casi Algo," from NEXT
