What does hygge music sound like? It all depends on the people, the atmosphere and their state of mind. It needs to invoke intimacy, warmth and that little extra something that will tickle your heartstrings. "My Way" by Frank Sinatra, "Unchained Melody" by The Righteous Brothers, "Hello" by Lionel Richie, "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen and "Hello" by Adele are just a few that could be added to a hygge songlist. The Sex Pistols, Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath can be left for another day.
Danish people love music and they enjoy a variety of different styles, from classical to pop and rock, from folk to jazz and rap. They even have two national anthems. Street festivals are favoured amongst the Danes and these can range from large outdoor concerts to soft background music coming from an outside cafe. Traditional Danish hygge music is relaxing, soft, smooth and slightly folksy. This includes "Riverside" and "Falling, Catching" by Agnes Obel from her 2010 debut album, "Philharmonics".
