4. Ben Howard
Ben is definitely more of a sad tune kind of guy. Most of his songs are written in minor keys, but that makes them all the more alluring. The use of minor chords seems to be perfect for those days when you need to be understood. Everyone has those days when they feel unsure. Ben’s music might help you reflect on the answers and the questions with peace.
5. Ray LaMontagne
Ray LaMontagne is known for his whisper-like voice that seems like it could lull anyone to sleep. Even when he’s singing a song that’s uplifting or just positive, in a major key, it sounds like you’re learning something. His music, whether major or minor, always pulls you in to listen. It’s rather intimate how the notes create a space around what’s being said. Or maybe that’s just his voice hypnotizing you that you really are ready for some sleep.
