Get into bed with Mr & Mrs Smith

15 September 2009 GMT 13:24 (London)

Boutique travel experts Mr & Mrs Smith have released their latest soundtrack, 'In bed with...' hand-selected by art, fashion, media and music luminaries.

The Smiths asked some of their favourite bon viveurs to reveal their bedtime musical secrets and the result is a genre-hopping array of the classic and the contemporary where Marc Almond, The Do, Neon Neon, Terry Callier and Television all turn out to be unpredictable but perfect bedfellows.

VV Brown, Jo Wood, Dylan Jones and Russ (Cuban Brothers) are among those revealing their sexiest tunes on the new album.

The 16 tracks featured are:
Sufjan Stevens To Be Alone With You chosen by Lauren Laverne (DJ/ broadcaster)
Raphael Saadiq 100 Yard Dash chosen by Rob Wood (Music Concierge)
Neon Neon featuring Cate Le Bon I Lust You chosen by James Lohan (Founder of Mr & Mrs Smith)

James Lohan, Founder of Mr & Mrs Smith says: “After our Something For the Weekend music series came to an end, we wanted to create a new collection of compilations with a similarly eclectic track list, but through a more diverse and imaginative selection process. And the fact that we can make a contribution to Shelter is close to all our hearts. As for the line-up, it is genuinely inspiring and we really don’t think you will find any other albums quite like this out there”.
