Recommend me some artists/songs!

Hi guys, despite having a fairly sizable music collection, I don't really have any calm, relaxing songs I can just play while im working. I'm kind of looking for songs which stay at a regular pace, calm, slow vocals and tune. YES I know it may sound boring, but the few songs I have like this really do help me relax and focus!

Any help appreciated

I would recommend Alicia Keys or Angela Aki, both are generally accompanied by just a piano and are quite relaxing.

I agree with spookshow. You should try listening to Enya. It might be too boring for you though

Check out Madonna's Something To Remember and Bedtime Stories albums. Those are my favorites to chill out to! Something To Remember is like a best-of her ballads.

If you decide to go with great music instead of catchy slow music, then I highly suggest you "Fisherman's Woman" by Emiliana Torrini, it's one of the best albbums ever made, relaxing and extremely beautiful. If you want to sample her, check youtube for the videos of "Sunny Road" and "Heartstopper"

ok please bear with me the fact that this person is who she is, but an album that meets all of those requirements is Mandy Moore's new album "Wild Hope". It's soft, calm, beautiful, melodic, different. I was surprised at how much I liked the style of music she changed to. It's a great cd to drive to (If you don't fall asleep from softer songs) cause they are so dreamy and well paced.
