Christian soft rock, also referred to as Christian lite rock, Christian easy rock, and Christian mellow rock, is a style of music which uses the techniques of rock and roll to compose a softer, supposedly more ear-pleasing sound for listening, often at work. Like soft rock, Christian soft rock is usually sung with higher-pitched vocals. It replaces the somewhat outdated Christian contemporary music as when CCM first came out, it was less poppy, and more inclined to soft rock.
Christian soft rock differs from soft rock because lyrics focus on God, Jesus or encouraging topics. The genre tends to make use of pianos, synthesizers and sometimes saxophones.
Bands/singers which are considered Christian soft rock include: Bethany Dillon, ZOEgirl, Jennifer Knapp and Avalon.
