A country singer-songwriter who has opened for artists like Katy Perry and Colbie Caillat and is gaining attention.

John Denver – Take Me Home, Country Roads (Official Audio)

If you’re going to force yourself to listen to new music, I think it’s also good to listen to this kind of old-fashioned, heartfelt American music.

If you’re not into intense music and prefer ballads and melodies, I’m sure you can enjoy country music.

Highly recommended.

True ColorsCyndi Lauper

Cyndi Lauper – True Colors (Official HD Video)

True Colors is a slow ballad by Cyndi Lauper, released in 1986, that spent two consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard chart.

With its softly flowing instrumentation, it’s a beautiful, soothing song.

The gentle tempo—imbued with a positive, healing quality that invites peaceful sleep—pairs perfectly with Cyndi’s tender, almost whisper-like vocals, making it a crowning masterpiece from one of the 1980s’ iconic divas.

HelloAdele

Adele – Hello (Official Music Video)

This is Adele’s “Hello,” which was a long-running hit spanning 2015 and 2016.

Her vocal prowess is overwhelmingly powerful, and her voice itself has an aura.

Even when you start listening casually, there’s something about it that keeps you until the very end.

I think she’s one of the few singers blessed with a truly remarkable voice.

Her ballads in particular are so smooth and evocative that you can almost picture a rainy night; they’re perfect as background music, never intruding on your work and naturally soaking into your body.
