Some songs sound… super sweet. It could be audio that pans from ear to ear, or maybe even layers of instruments with a touch of reverb. Sometimes you might even find a surprising sound effect or two.

This Coffee Break might sound even better while wearing a pair of headphones because we’re going to focus on songs that sound like candy to your ears. Let’s create a playlist of songs where you could get lost in the listen.

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs that could be considered ear candy would you like to hear?
