Music is the entrance to the soul for so many people. It’s easy to learn about the personality or mood of a person based on what they’re listening to. I have gathered a handful of songs for those days when you want a calm and relaxing song but you still want to groove to the music. I will limit one song per artist.

Also, a quick warning that my favorite genre of music is R&B and that will shine through in this list. This list does not hold all of the perfect songs for this occasion, but it’s a great start. And I am always looking for new music so this varies each week.

Nonetheless, I recommend giving these songs a listen when you want to relax after a big test or when the rain just won’t stop pouring. Hopefully you will discover some forgotten songs and some new gems.
