I am not a musical person. I know nothing about it. What would you call this style of music?

These two used to be a couple and I think they're both vocal geniuses. He wrote this and is playing piano on it. I've
always wanted to hear HIM sing this, but I've never found a recording of that. It's my favorite lullaby.
