romantic ballads
Slow emotional songs
Romantic ballads are sentimental songs about love, typically slow-tempo and emotionally expressive.
The term spans genres—from medieval narrative poems sung to simple melodies to contemporary power ballads: The band closed with a romantic ballad that had couples swaying.
The phrase often carries a slightly dismissive connotation, suggesting something formulaic or saccharine.
