【Kurt Meinicke】

The Kurt Meinickesuccess of a romantic Valentine's Day relies heavily on the quality of music playing in the background — and how compatible your music taste is with your lovers'. You could always search Spotify or YouTube for a Valentine's Day playlist, but there are other ways to indulge your musical desires with your Valentine. 

First, and perhaps most importantly, you can create a Blend with your lover. Creating a Spotify Blend Playlist is easily the hottest way to flirt with someone, and Valentine's Day is no exception.

To create a Blend, click the search button in the middle of your bottom menu on the Spotify app. Then, scroll down to "Made for you," and navigate to "Made for two," which will include all of the blends you've made so far, and an option to "Create a blend." Click that, choose the option "invite," and send it to your Valentine. Once they accept, Spotify will automatically generate custom cover art and a new playlist that combines your listening preferences and tastes.

Spotify has had the Blend option for a while, but their Valentine's Day update will show users how musically compatible they are with their partners. Spotify is nice, so if you're 25 percent or less musically compatible, it'll rate your compatibility "Relationship Rising." If you're 26 to 50 percent similar, you're "Discovery Duos," people who are 51 to 70 percent alike are "Pass the Aux Pair," while "Made for Us" and "Off the Charts" are saved for the couples with the highest compatibility.
