(better known as West Coast Sound or Adult-oriented Rock)
There is nothing more traveling than a “flock” of notes that can reach every shore by a wave.
How it sounds
Like a breeze in your ears as you sail off California on your expensive yacht.
Ehh?? who does this, I do not know anyone like that !!!
It is basically Soft Rock with a few installments of Smooth Soul, Smooth Jazz, R&B, Funk, and Disco. Always at a very relaxed pace.
All this with overly “polished” production.
Why listen to it
Because we are closed and we want soft music to accompany our yacht trips.
It’s essentially melodic and there is no shortage of really beautiful songs.
Why not
Because we are not rich and we are angry with the rich and the sea brings us nausea, like the melancholy songs.
Where we meet it
In Southern California
When did it start
In the late 1970s and early twentieth century, however, the term was first used only in 2005 by J. D. Ryznar in his web series of the same name.
Who are the pioneers
Undoubtedly Christopher Cross with the song “Sailing” of 1979 is a milestone.
But also Rupert Holmes through his musicals, in some cases Toto with songs like “Hold the Line” or Kenny Loggins with “Footloose”.
You have to listen
Vampire Weekend, Foxygen, Thundercat, Sugar Ray, Michael McDonald, Steely Dan, Loggins & Messina, The Doobie Brothers, Hall & Oates.
Days of glory
The late 70s, early 80s
Red card
Extremely luxurious and polished, without any feeling, and probably addressed to those who do not have real problems.
What is it confused with
With Soft Rock and Pop Rock.
How do you describe it to an irrelevant
Some melancholy songs that are yes Rock, but for dinner accompanied by caviar and lobster.
Ή if you do not have these… you go deep (50 meters from the shore) with the inflatable you got from the toy store at discount.
