Love is in the air. Can you feel it? Maybe? Well, anyway, High Fidelity comes out on Hulu this Valentine's Day and what better way to celebrate its release than with a new playlist? L'Officiel USA has enlisted the help of the show's very own David H. Holmes, who you may have seen previously on Mindhunter or Law and Order: SVU. In the series, Holmes plays Simon, who is one of the employees at Rob's (Zoë Kravitz) record store, one of Rob's best friends, and also one of her most significant ex-boyfriends. 

In the spirit of the love-filled Hulu show and the romantic holiday that coincides with its debut, find all of Holmes' Valentine's Day music picks below, along with a brief description of why each song made it onto his list. Whether you have a valentine, a galentine, or plan to spend your evening relaxing in front of rom-coms with a bottle of wine, we hope you enjoy. Happy Valentine's Day!
