Babyface – Exceptional (Audio)

Babyface, the American R&B singer.

His track “Exceptional” is an R&B number released in 2015.

As expected, his beautiful vocals and the flowing rhythm make it a very pleasant song.

It has a slightly mature vibe, and its comfort feels stylish and even a bit luxurious.

Savor the relaxed, grown-up ease this song brings.

If possible, enjoy it with good audio equipment or quality headphones.

Here is a track from Beck’s 12th album, Morning Phase, released in 2014.

The album’s arrangements were handled by Beck’s father, David Campbell, and at the 2015 Grammy Awards it won Album of the Year, Best Rock Album, and Best Engineered Album.

Its languid acoustic sound eases tension and feels like a song that will help you relax.

Here’s another famous song included on Carole King’s 1971 album Tapestry, which is full of classics.

She won four Grammy Awards for this album and left behind many wonderful works.

Her distinctive, gentle, unadorned voice relaxes the listener and makes you feel as if your stress is being carried away.

The fact that so many artists continue to cover her songs even today says it all, doesn’t it?

HeartbeatsTahiti 80

I think the charm of the French pop band Tahiti 80 lies in their ultra-stylish songs.

Released in 2000, their track “Heartbeat” is quintessentially them—supremely chic and groovy.

It’s perfect for when you want to relax; despite being a band-driven tune, it has an airy, breezy feel.

It might also be great for driving or doing housework.

They have plenty of other exquisite pop numbers too, so be sure to explore and find your favorites!

A 1998 song by Massive Attack featuring vocals and lyrics by Elizabeth Fraser, the lead singer of Cocteau Twins.

The WayAriana Grande

Here is the song that Ariana Grande released in 2013 featuring rapper Mac Miller.

It traces Big Pun’s 1998 R&B hit “Still Not a Player.” Her glossy, powerful voice lends the track a different hue and seems to add another kind of brilliance.

In addition, the contrast between Ariana’s voice and Mac’s voice and textures makes the song more complex.
