Western songs to listen to in the evening: a collection of moody tracks perfect for sunset time

Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
Under the theme of “vocal skills that stand up on the world stage,” I have experience teaching as an online vocal coach specializing in Western music, and I usually listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. In my teens, I questioned the idea that “foreign music equals English,” and started exploring songs from around the world. My commentary is characterized by a unique perspective shaped by listening to music of every genre, in every language, from every country. I mainly cover world music, so be sure to check it out!

There’s something about that time when the sun slowly sets that often sends us drifting into deep thought.

This time, I’d like to introduce some international tracks that set a comfortable mood for that mellow sunset hour.

The selection leans toward chic, calm tunes, so listening while you’re busy preparing dinner might help you relax and ease your shoulders a bit.

Enjoy these superb tracks—perfectly emotional in moderation, with an elegant atmosphere.
