If "Pieces Of Me" is soft rock (and it is on adult contemporary, but this is not your mama's mama's adult contemporary) it's wailing soft rock. (I still don't know what your problem is with the song. It's sweet, but it's wailing, and it has its wail.)
I listen to the smooth jazz station once a month, when my friend Phil's boyfriend Jim gives the two of us a ride to the writer's group we're part of. A couple of month's ago the smooth jazz station was playing "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone." Shelton, the husband of Sue, a woman in the writer's group, leads a blues-r&b band, and they play "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone," too, though they don't signify as "smooth."

I'd expect cat mysteries to be too too precious. (Btw, I've now posted my brother's analysis of Lillian Jackson Braun.)
