adult contemporary

Adult contemporary is a radio and music genre that features soft, melodic songs often aimed at an adult audience. It includes a variety of musical styles such as pop, rock, and R&B, primarily focusing on themes of love, relationships, and life experiences. Artists in this genre typically emphasize lyrical content and emotional resonance. Adult contemporary music is commonly played on radio stations that target listeners aged 25 and older, providing a comfortable, familiar listening experience without the edginess of contemporary pop or hard rock. Notable artists include Adele, Norah Jones, and John Legend.
