Positive & Uplifting

That beat that comes on and just puts you in the best mood, spirit, and vibrations for the day.

It has an upbeat tempo and uses sounds and/or instruments that uplift the mood and spirit and leaves a positive impression on the listener.

Different sounds create different emotion for different people so interested to see what sounds, instruments, and arrangements are used in creating beats that are positive & uplifting.
