Relaxing BGM: Calming music (61–70)
Someone Like YouAdele
When you want to relax, don’t you find yourself preferring a solid, resonant voice over a piercing one? The voice of the British singer-songwriter Adele has a rich, low resonance—like a cello or double bass—that makes it very soothing to listen to.
Among her songs, a particular recommendation is “Someone Like You.” It tells the story of a heartbroken woman who hears that her ex is getting married and says, “I’ll find someone like you.” It’s a track carried solely by piano and Adele’s voice.
Fix YouColdplay
When you want to calm your mind, UK rock that conveys a sense of beauty is perfect.
Fix You, included on the rock band Coldplay’s 2005 album X&Y, is a song with synths that resonate like a hymn.
You can also feel performances that evoke alternative rock, with healing and rock blending beautifully.
The warm lyrics that stay close to your anxiety and sadness are also noteworthy.
If you want to be soothed by grand, expansive sound, be sure to give it a listen.
Put Your Records OnCorinne Bailey Rae
Even within R&B, there are so many songs with completely different vibes that it can be hard to know what to listen to when you want to relax.
One song I recommend for times like that is Corinne Bailey Rae’s “Put Your Records On.” Released in 2006, it was nominated for a Grammy and became a global hit.
Corinne’s warm vocals and the drum beat make it an incredibly comfortable listen—it really lifts your spirits.
A good timeEVISBEATS
This is a track by EVISBEATS, a beatmaker from Nara Prefecture.
It’s included on his second album, “Hitosu ni Naru Toki,” released in 2012.
The song carries a message about cherishing the present moment.
Its relaxed tempo has a soothing effect.
Can you see it feat. J.Lamotta SuzumeEVISBEATS & Nagipan
The moment the intro starts, a soft sound that makes you feel ready for sleep mode.
It’s a track included on the collaborative album PEPE by Nagipan, who has long been connected with trackmaker EVISBEATS.
The lyrics are in English, so the words come through easily as sounds.
The gentle voice of singer J.Lamotta Suzume—whose roots are in reggae and jazz—along with the warming soundscape and relaxed tempo, are truly soothing.
It’s a number that wraps you in a dreamy mood, like dozing off while sunbathing.
MockingbirdEminem
It’s a laid-back, relaxing track from Eminem.
You can feel the high quality of the backing track, which is one of his trademarks, in this song as well.
The choice of sounds and the balance are exquisite.
It makes me happy when this song comes on when I want to unwind during reading or tea time.
WatermarkEnya
A genre of music often used when you want to relax is healing music.
There are various styles, but when it comes to healing music, Enya is indispensable.
Enya is a musician from Ireland and a multi-instrumentalist who handles everything from vocals to arrangement herself.
This is her track Watermark, released in 1988.
The piano’s timbre and the distant vocals make for a magnificent piece!
