Questo è un elenco di canzoni associate al formato radiofonico quiet storm, ampiamente ascoltato negli Stati Uniti a partire dal 1976[1] come forma di musica di easy listening in prima serata/a tarda notte, rivolta a un sofisticato pubblico afroamericano.[2] I programmi radiofonici quiet storm prosperarono negli anni '80, con molte stazioni negli Stati Uniti che trasmettevano un programma quiet storm di notte e alcune stazioni che trasmettevano in quel formato tutto il giorno.[3] Il campo si adattò negli anni '90, quando i nuovi ascoltatori abbracciarono la sperimentazione neo-soul, campioni e ritmi hip hop, oltre a temi più espliciti. Le jam lente con elementi del quiet storm hanno continuato a essere prodotte negli anni 2000 e 2010.[4]
Le canzoni quiet storm sono un mix di generi, tra cui pop, R&B contemporaneo, smooth soul, smooth jazz e jazz fusion: canzoni dal carattere fluido e romantico. Il formato apparve per la prima volta nel 1976, ma inizialmente si ispirava a brani registrati in precedenza. Dopo che il formato radiofonico divenne popolare, le canzoni furono scritte per adattarsi a quel formato, e in questo modo lo stile radiofonico divenne un ampio "super-genere" di musica.[5][6]
