Need some suggestions/pointers from you guys again....
I'm a fairly regular visitor to coffee shops...
I like listening to music sometimes when I’m working at home...
I’ve been listening to what I call “coffee shop music”... Now that’s not one genre, rather, it includes pretty much any music that is played at coffee shops...
To give you some examples: Caffe Nero, one of the U.K.’s most popular coffee shop chains, have published their playlist/library on their website. It includes 926 songs in total.
I’d say maybe around 80% of the stuff on their list is to my taste.
Another (much shorter) list of songs is the stuff on the compilation album “From the Heart: Coffee House Edition”. There's 20 songs there.
Probably my two favourite songs on that list were "Cranberry Lake" by Ari Hest featuring Amy Kuney and "Lucky" by Jason Mraz featuring Colbie Caillat.
Of course, there’s several different genres of music represented there, but I’s say most of the stuff there – something like 75-80% of the stuff on there is to my taste.
I’d be grateful if you guys could suggest more music/musicians/singers whose work is similar.
I have been buying other songs by the same artists, that’s perhaps the obvious thing to do... but I'd like your suggestions too!
(Just by the way, if you're a regular visitor to coffee shops, like I am, you may wish to check out this web page, which offers a reproduction of the ambient "hum" of activity in a coffee shop, including sounds of conversations, laughter, "clinking" of cutlery, etc. Apparently there has been some research which suggests that low-moderate background noise can improve creativity.)
I’ve also been taking suggestions from Amazon.co.uk, from their “Customers who bought this also bought these...” feature, but I can’t help the suspicion that that list is probably “manipulated” by the record companies? Or maybe it is indeed a true reflection of what people have been buying...
Either way, I’d be deeply grateful for your suggestions, folks...
