Standards

The "standards" genre refers to classic songs from the Great American Songbook, Broadway, and jazz repertoire, performed in a timeless style that emphasizes rich melodies, sophisticated lyrics, and expressive vocal delivery. Frequently associated with jazz and traditional pop, standards are interpreted by vocalists who bring nuance and emotion to well-known compositions by legendary songwriters like Cole Porter, George Gershwin, and Harold Arlen. Artists in this genre often blend smooth phrasing, lush orchestration, and swing or ballad influences, keeping these enduring songs relevant for modern audiences.
