Description
Folk pop is a genre of music that combines elements of traditional folk music with contemporary pop music. The sound is often characterized by acoustic instruments, such as guitar, mandolin, banjo, and ukulele, combined with catchy melodies and lyrics that tell stories of everyday life, love, and relationships. The music often features intricate vocal harmonies and is often performed with a stripped-down, intimate feel. Folk pop emerged in the 1960s and has continued to evolve with the influence of various artists and sub-genres. Some popular folk pop artists include Simon and Garfunkel, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, and Mumford & Sons.
