'Wind Down', which is available in Endel's range of apps, joins the company's growing range of sleep and relaxation experiences, which combine Endel's "stylish signature sights and sounds with evidence-based insights into which sets us up for a better night's rest.

"In approximately two hours, Wind Down traces an arc from wakefulness to sleep, based on scientific input from SleepScore Labs, which partnered with Endel on this project," adds a press release.

"Wind Down allows me to explore the more ambient side of my music and create a project to support people in a new way," Blake said in a statement about 'Wind Down', which you can listen to above.

"It's mesmerizing to hear how my music mixes with the science-based sounds of Endel's AI and I think we've invented something that's not just beautiful or even meaningful, but truly practical."
