Description
Ballad music is a type of song that typically tells a story, often with a narrative that revolves around love, heartbreak, or loss. Ballads often feature slow or mid-tempo music and have been a popular genre throughout history, with roots in traditional folk music. They are often accompanied by a simple acoustic guitar or piano, and the lyrics are typically emotive and poetic, using metaphors and symbolism to convey the emotions of the singer. Ballads have been adapted and reinvented over the years, and have been popularized by many artists across genres, including rock, pop, country, and R&B.
