As Verbal+Visual’s resident copywriter, I’m often looking for music that allows me to listen whilst concentrating on the words at hand. In order to stay focused, I put aside my normal playlist of catchy pop songs in exchange for soothing instrumentals and ambient beats.
Here are a few of my favorites to get you started:
