From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Soft rock, also referred to as light rock or easy rock,
is a style of
music which uses the techniques of
rock and roll to compose a softer, supposedly more ear-pleasing sound
for listening, often at work or when driving. Soft rock is usually sung
with higher-pitched
vocals,
and the lyrics tend to be non-confrontational, focusing in very general
language on themes like love, everyday life and relationships. The genre
tends to make heavy use of
pianos,
synthesizers and sometimes
saxophones.
