Easy Listening

Easy listening music is a smooth, laid-back genre characterized by lush orchestral arrangements, gentle rhythms, and soothing vocal styles. Emerging in the 1940s and 1950s, easy listening evolved from traditional pop and jazz, influenced by the crooners of the time. Its heyday was the 1950s-1960s, when it became a staple of middle-class American life, providing relaxing, nostalgic entertainment. Easy listening drew from swing, blues, and acoustic traditions, but its polished production and emphasis on melody set it apart. Notable for its use of lush strings, subtle percussion, and warm, intimate vocals, easy listening created a sense of comfort and sophistication, making it a cultural phenomenon that bridged the gap between popular music and high-brow entertainment.
