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

Lose You To Love MeSelena Gomez

Selena Gomez – Lose You To Love Me (Official Music Video)

Selena Gomez’s hit song “Lose You To Love Me.” It starts off with a calm mood, but as it goes on, it shifts into a grand, gospel-like atmosphere.

Gospel typically requires powerful vocals, but this song only has a gospel-like style, so there’s no need to worry about vocal power.

Selena Gomez herself isn’t a powerhouse vocalist, after all.

The opening, vocal-centered phrase doesn’t allow much room to hide, so get through it using a whisper voice style.

If you combine a whisper voice with clear pronunciation, anyone can make it sound convincingly like Western pop.

Give it a try!

Don’T Cry For Me ArgentinaMadonna

Don’t Cry For Me Argentina – Madonna

It’s a song that Madonna sang in the 1996 film Evita, in which she starred.

Looking at the sheet music, it doesn’t seem particularly difficult, but when you listen to the performance, Madonna’s masterful expression turns it into a piece that sounds quite challenging.

You Belong With MeTaylor Swift

Taylor Swift – You Belong With Me

Teenagers love Taylor Swift.

These days, she keeps releasing songs that seem destined to be hits, but “You Belong With Me” is from her country phase.

Country music is surprisingly easy to sing.

As I mentioned at the beginning, it’s a genre that’s easy for women to sing, too.

Country is simple.

It doesn’t require that much vocal prowess.

Even if you’re not good at vibrato, this song still works pretty well—so definitely give it a try!

Back To YouSelena Gomez

Selena Gomez – Back To You (Lyric Video)

Selena Gomez is active both as an actress and an artist.

Her voice, for better or worse, doesn’t have much power.

In “Back To You,” she also sings without putting force into her voice.

It feels like a downer-style dance track.

You might think, “Wait, but in dance music don’t you use runs and vibrato?” Actually, in this song… there are no runs at all.

In other words, even if your voice lacks power and you can’t do runs, you can still sing it.

Try singing it in a whispery way.

You should be able to deliver a fairly cohesive performance!

Diet PepsiAddison Rae

Addison Rae – Diet Pepsi (Official Video)

Addison Rae, the internet celebrity who was the world’s second most-followed TikToker in 2021, is now active as a female singer-songwriter and has dropped several hit tunes.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is Diet Pepsi.

The high notes in the chorus might seem a bit challenging, but because she sings with quite restrained volume, it’s well within reach for women with an average vocal range.

There are no advanced techniques like runs, shouts, or hiccups, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

I Love You, I’m SorryGracie Abrams

Gracie Abrams – I Love You, I’m Sorry (Official Music Video)

Singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams has been steadily gaining momentum with her catchy pop music.

Many of you may know her already, as her songs have recently gone viral on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.

One of those viral hits is “I Love You, I’m Sorry.” It has a gentle, subdued feel, with a restrained vocal line.

The range is narrow and there aren’t many long notes, so even without advanced vocal technique, it’s easy to make it sound convincing through basic tone production and pronunciation.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

LIFETIMESKaty Perry

Katy Perry – LIFETIMES (Official Video)

Katy Perry is a female singer-songwriter who has gained popularity for her powerful vocals and musicality.

If you have even a slight interest in Western pop music, you’ve probably encountered her songs.

Among her tracks, the one I especially recommend is “LIFETIMES.” It blends Italo house with pop dance, creating a very refreshing feel, while the vocal line is surprisingly restrained.

Since the vocal range is narrow, if you pay attention to the initial phrasing, you can make it sound pretty convincing.
