late night futuresex love songs

hello radio producer readers! we had a idea: commercial radio's late night love songs format, in which love songs are played late at night, could probably be applied more specifically to a urban audience. with mostly new songs. by some station or other. it would work basically cos there is a lot of good soft-ish music around at the moment! with an inclusive attitude it would also counter soft-ish music being shouted down by blaring club juggernauts rap/dancehall/d&b. so the content would break down like this

rnb/nu soul balladism would obv provide the meat and potatoes. should be approached with populist's ear, but go deep too. like wot dj b does. there are a lot of euro balladists listening online waiting to call a dj on his wackness. better disable all email. allow request half hour so "knockin the boots" gets played every night. could be playing, you know, avant/nicole - "lie to me" or ciara - "promise" at the moment

one drop/nu roots reggae stuff like nanko's "lucky you", where people are sad or in love. remakes and rmxs of rnb songs. perhaps avoid gross songs about promiscuous women going to hell but whatever its all good

post-wifey sad rng cos britain's ama-teur divas are recording one million similar songs in flukes's bedroom right now. (shola looks astonishing in that pic btw, like she was kidnapped by radio 1 after blearily opening the back door to collect her semi skimmed. the bastards! and as rtc once pointed out, if she married shola ameobi they would both be called shola ameobi) (and if sadie married paul o'grady...)

assorted broke beat/soulful house/deviation type music patronising it may well sound, but this type of music would sound awesome in a lnls context. sometimes its about love. sometimes its about THE MUSIC ITSELF. or a combination of the two, like that song "dont stop the music" by bugz in the attic. in fact i asked the guys from bugz what they thought, and they told me 'we dont just break beats, we break hearts too... and your face motherfucker!' i was bundled to the ground and set upon. you're in guys!

so. plz put it on 11pm-1am monday-thursday, get some non-div to present it, and we promise to listen.
