Unwrapped (album)

Unwrapped refers to an album, typically a jazz or smooth jazz release, that reimagines popular contemporary songs, often pop, R&B, or hip-hop, with instrumental arrangements and a sophisticated jazz sensibility. The core concept involves stripping down the original arrangements and presenting the melodies with new harmonic structures, instrumentation, and improvisation. These albums are frequently characterized by a polished production quality and are aimed at a broad audience seeking a familiar yet refined listening experience. The term "Unwrapped" can sometimes be used generically to describe similar albums even if the specific title isn't "Unwrapped".
