Soul music encapsulates the very feelings we go through and none more so than those of love and the pain of heartbreak 😔 Some of my favourite music is ballads, beat ballads and mid tempo soul music. Here are 40 beat ballads/ballads that showcase mainly heartache and heartbreak 💔 If you are in a bad place, hopefully, after a good cry this music will bring you through it I hope you enjoy the mix.

I thought two hours was plenty for our attention spans at our age 😂 good choice though.

Great mix chalky thanks

I'd swap 37 for Hal Miller "Cry Like The Rain".

Or Doug Banks "Since You Went Away"
