[For Women] When in Doubt, Choose This! Easy-to-Sing Western Songs

The GiverChappell Roan

Chappell Roan – The Giver (Official Lyric Video)

Chappell Roan, known as a transgender singer.

Her song The Giver, released in March 2025, is one of her signature tracks.

While she mainly excels in genres like synth-pop and dark pop, this work features a gentler melody with a somewhat country-like feel.

The vocal range spans from mid1 F# to high E, which is fairly wide, but since there are almost no ad-libs aside from some embellishments in the final arrangement, it’s relatively approachable to sing.

The SubwayChappell Roan

Chappell Roan – The Subway (Official Music Video)

It’s a song that really builds up toward the second half.

In the first half, the chorus goes up to D5, but it’s not a section where you should belt, so aim for an airy, gentle delivery.

The tempo isn’t fast, so it’s easier if you learn it melody by melody.

If you’re not used to using falsetto, practice humming so you can switch smoothly between chest voice and falsetto.

In the first half, try projecting your voice upward, resonating in the area between the eyebrows or the head to create a light, open sound.

In the second half, the resonance gets a bit stronger, so direct the sound downward and resonate in the chest to bring out more power.

Try speaking or singing with a hand on your chest—you’ll feel strong vibrations there—then sing while focusing on that resonance!

Leave Me AloneReneé Rapp

Reneé Rapp – Leave Me Alone (Official Music Video)

After making a name for herself as a Broadway actress, singer-songwriter Lenny Rapp has also flourished as a solo artist.

Unlike her Broadway days, her music now is notably languid, driven by fairly rugged lyrics—quite striking, isn’t it? “Leave Me Alone” is one such work.

While rap takes the lead, the vocal sections are shaped into a slightly loud pop style.

The range is somewhat wide, but since it doesn’t require delicate falsetto pitch control, the overall difficulty is surprisingly low.

For the hook, focus less on sustained, soaring vocals and more on a shouted, elongated delivery.

Love StoryTaylor Swift

Taylor Swift – Love Story

Taylor Swift is a female singer-songwriter who has been active at the forefront of the global music scene for many years.

While she now incorporates a variety of genres, including synth-pop, back when she released Love Story, her music was primarily rooted in mainstream country.

True to country music, this song features a very singable vocal line.

There are hardly any advanced techniques like falls or vocal runs, and the range is relatively narrow for a female song (mid2A to hiB), so as long as you handle English linking properly, it should be easy to aim for a high score at karaoke.

Hail Holy QueenDeloris Van Cartier

Sister Act – Hail Holy Queen (Deloris and The Sisters)

Sister Act, a classic film that continues to be loved by many viewers, is a heartwarming music-centered movie in which a struggling singer transforms a convent choir so dramatically that she gradually gains recognition from the townspeople and the convent community.

The film features numerous iconic songs, and among them, the most memorable is surely Hail Holy Queen, the first piece performed by the newly evolved choir.

Although it’s a traditional Christian hymn, this rendition is arranged with a decidedly groovy and lively vibe.

As a choral piece, some parts feature frequent improvisational embellishments, but the basic main melody is fairly easy to sing—so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Don’t Know WhyNorah Jones

Norah Jones – Don’t Know Why

Norah Jones is a jazz singer who enjoys great popularity in Japan as well.

When you hear “jazz,” it might feel a bit intimidating, but her work is different.

She’s known for jazz that incorporates mainstream pop elements, making all of her songs notably easy to sing.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is Don’t Know Why.

It has a laid-back, pastoral vibe, and its vocal range is narrow—mid2 B♭ to high B♭—with very gentle rises and falls in the melody.

The latter half of the chorus tends to slip into falsetto, so if you’re not comfortable with head voice, consider adjusting the key with that section in mind.

All I Want for Christmas Is YouMerry Christmas

Mariah Carey – All I Want For Christmas Is You (Official Video)

Mariah Carey’s signature song, “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Although this piece is often cited as a difficult song, it’s not without singable elements.

The tricky part is mainly the slow-tempo opening; once the beat kicks in and the tempo picks up, the kind of wide-interval vocal runs heard in the intro appear less frequently.

Even so, the overall difficulty remains on the higher side, but given its top-tier recognition and popularity, it’s well worth the challenge.
