Soft rock is a subgenre of rock music that emphasizes melodic songwriting, easy listening, and often incorporates elements of pop, folk, and jazz. It gained prominence in the 1970s and remained popular throughout the 1980s and 1990s, producing some of the most enduring and beloved songs in music history.
Soft rock songs are typically characterized by their gentle, soothing melodies, introspective lyrics, and lush vocal harmonies. They often explore themes of love, loss, relationships, and personal growth. The genre has been embraced by a wide range of artists, from singer-songwriters like James Taylor and Carole King to bands like Fleetwood Mac and The Eagles.
