Harry Styles is lulling fans to sleep by bringing his honeyed voice to the Calm app with his latest partnership. But what musician’s vocals would help you catch some Z’s?
With a song like “R.E.M,” Ariana Grande might do just the trick and make sure you “don’t wanna wake up wake up, wake up, wake up.” But the punk poet laureate Patti Smith proves she’s a storytelling veteran with many award-winning titles to her name, while Kendrick Lamar is a Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper with vivid, thought-provoking narratives that bring his strife to life.
Halsey and Jhené Aiko published their own poetry collections, I Would Leave Me If I Could and 2Fish, respectively, so bringing their distinct, gentle way with words to the meditation and sleep app might be up their alley — especially if Aiko brings her sound bowls for healing purposes. But James Blake’s ethereal falsetto or Kid Cudi’s assuaging hums could have any fan out like a light.
So which musician would help you fall asleep? Vote below!
