Soft rock

Soft rock is a genre of rock music characterized by its mellow, melodic sound and approachable lyrics. It often features smooth vocals, gentle rhythms, and harmonies that create a relaxed, accessible listening experience. Soft rock emphasizes melody and emotional expression, making it popular for radio play and broad audiences. It emerged in the 1970s as a softer alternative to more intense rock styles, blending elements of pop and rock to produce songs that are soothing yet engaging. Examples include bands like Fleetwood Mac and artists like James Taylor.
