An American singer who shocked the world

In Japan, when people say “Western music,” I think they usually mean American music.

In fact, from a commercial standpoint, the American music scene is the largest in the world.

This time, I’ll be introducing American singers.

Rather than simply featuring artists who scored massive hits, I’ve selected those who had a major impact on the music scene.

As a result, you’ll also get to learn about the history of American music.

I’ve selected tracks from a variety of genres—soul, jazz, R&B, hip-hop, hard rock, and more—so please take your time and enjoy.
