There are probably many tracks you want to sing but find hard to take on.
So this time, we’ve picked out easy-to-sing Western songs that really liven up a karaoke session!
We’ve included the latest hits too, so be sure to check them out!
[Trending songs keep coming out!] Easy-to-sing Western songs that hype up karaoke (1–10)
Blinding LightsThe Weeknd
The globally popular hit “Blinding Lights.” This work is one of The Weeknd’s signature songs and is known as a forerunner of the synthwave and synth-pop boom.
Its flowing melody is striking, and while the high tone of the vocals continues throughout, the actual range isn’t all that wide, so if you set the key properly, it’s surprisingly singable.
There’s also hardly any use of techniques like “feints” (vocal riffs or embellishments), so consider adding it to your repertoire.
EspressoSabrina Carpenter
Sabrina Carpenter’s masterpiece “Espresso.” Sabrina Carpenter is known for having a lot of sexual innuendo, and this track also features many double entendres woven throughout.
Matching that content, the vocal line is quiet and sultry, yet it’s surprisingly simple.
First worth noting is its narrow range.
It’s kept within a range that anyone—regardless of gender—can sing, and there aren’t any complex vocal techniques centered on riffs or runs.
Without a doubt, for a trending song, it falls into the easy-to-sing category.
Die With A SmileLady Gaga, Bruno Mars
The collaborative piece “Die With A Smile” by Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga centers on the neo-soul genre, which was predominant in the 1970s, delivering vocals that are both delicate and passionate throughout.
The chorus features falsetto, and toward the end of the chorus there are higher chest-voice parts, making it moderately challenging.
However, the slow tempo and frequent rests allow for solid preparation before the difficult sections.
As for ad-libs, they appear very rarely, so anyone with basic skills should be able to sing it well.
APT.ROSÉ & Bruno Mars
The song “APT.” is currently gaining popularity worldwide.
It’s a track by Rosé from the popular K-pop group BLACKPINK and Bruno Mars, who is celebrated globally for his sophisticated musical style, and it’s based on a Korean playground song.
Because it’s rooted in a children’s play song, the vocal line is simple for Western pop.
The range isn’t particularly wide, and the kind of embellishments often heard in Western music—like ad-libbed runs—hardly appear.
It’s a big hit at karaoke, so be sure to add it to your repertoire.
BIRDS OF A FEATHERBillie Eilish
Billie Eilish’s new song “BIRDS OF A FEATHER.” Although Billie Eilish tends to favor darker tones, this track is wrapped in a refreshing melody.
That said, true to her style, the vocals keep the volume restrained throughout, so even singers who aren’t confident in their projection should have no trouble performing it.
There are basically no vocal embellishments, but a three-step melodic variation appears at the end of the chorus.
If that part is difficult, skip the embellishment and fade out following the original vocal line.
Don’t Start NowDua Lipa
Dua Lipa’s iconic hit “Don’t Start Now,” known for its groovy bassline.
For many, this song was their introduction to her.
With its strikingly groove-rich melodic structure, the vocal line is kept simple to highlight the strength of the instrumentation.
The vocal range is particularly narrow—so much so that even male singers should have no trouble with it.
There are also no difficult sustained high notes.
It’s undeniably a popular number that’s easy to sing.
Bye Bye Bye*NSYNC
The song “Bye Bye Bye,” used as the opening for the film Deadpool & Wolverine, is, as everyone knows, a classic hit by *NSYNC.
Perhaps because it was used almost in full within the movie, the association of Deadpool = Bye Bye Bye has really stuck.
Surprisingly, the song sits in a relatively low vocal range and doesn’t require the kind of intricate, R&B-style melodic runs.
As long as you keep the groove in mind, you should be able to sing it without any issues—so consider adding it to your repertoire.
