soothing tune

Gentle, relaxing music

A soothing tune is a melody that calms or relaxes the listener—gentle in tempo, soft in tone.

Lullabies are classic soothing tunes, but the term applies to any music that eases tension: She put on a soothing tune to help the baby sleep.

The phrase emphasizes the emotional effect rather than any particular musical style.
