Is there a music genre called passive?
If not, is there an existing genre that refers to songs with vocals that seem passive? Some of these songs have their music louder than their vocals. Others have a balance with loudness, but the vocals are soft to the hearing. Personally, I call some of these as "almost" instrumental because I can listen to them without being distracted by the message of the lyrics.
There are a lot of examples scattered around, but perhaps the best ones I can probably give isare "May It Be" and "Orinoco Flow" by Enya, and... well, basically almost (if not all) songs by Enya.
In what genre do these songs actually fall, aside from relaxing or inspirational (I'm not sure, either, if these two are actually genre)?
