Cry BabyG-k.i.d
After the popular hip-hop crew BAD HOP disbanded, G-k.
i.
d embarked on a new path as a solo artist.
He’s an artist known for his melodic flow and the authentic perspective born from experiences shaped on the streets.
This track he released in September 2025 is included on the album “Hood Melody DELUXE.” Over a smooth, chill beat, his vocals resonate with a touch of sensuality.
At first listen it feels relaxed, but the lyrics reveal loneliness and inner conflict hidden behind a smile.
Transforming a heart’s cries—brave on the outside, yet in tears within—into music, this piece might be perfect for solitary moments spent gazing at the night view.
It’s a song that not only plays in the background but also stays close during introspective times.
CloserMyles Lloyd
Myles Lloyd, an artist based in Montreal, Canada.
Rooted in R&B while blending in pop and trap influences, his style is undeniably easy on the ears.
The project he released in August 2025 is a slow jam perfectly suited for a chilled-out night.
Over a soundscape woven from delicate keyboard melodies and a rich 808 bass, his emotional vocals—laced with falsetto—resonate beautifully.
The work portrays the bittersweet feeling of sensing emotional distance even when a loved one is by your side, along with the yearning to draw closer.
The dreamlike music video, filmed in nature, amplifies the song’s mood, and this gem—selected as Uber UK’s “Tune Of The Week”—will fit seamlessly into your weekend relaxation time.
whistlingMr.Children
Among Mr.
Children’s songs, Whistle boasts one of the widest vocal ranges.
Its highest note is hi A, and astonishingly, the lowest is low G! While that top note is a common peak in other Mr.
Children tracks, the contrast with the lowest note makes this piece quite challenging.
Fortunately, the tempo itself is very relaxed, so the pitch movement isn’t too abrupt.
However, since you can’t really lower the key much, depending on your vocal range you may need to tackle the high parts on your own.
Gloomy SundayNoriko Awaya
This is a chanson born in Hungary, known worldwide as a frightening song.
In Japan, it’s known through performances by artists such as Noriko Awaya, who was called the “Queen of Blues.” That bleak melody inevitably sends chills down your spine, doesn’t it? This Japanese version was recorded once around 1936, but there’s an anecdote that its release was banned because the overly pessimistic atmosphere was deemed problematic.
With a noble yet weighty vocal tone that highlights quiet madness and sorrow, this chilling piece seems perfect for a ghostly Halloween gathering.
walnutMr.Children
The classic song “Kurumi,” which gained popularity for its heartrending lyrics, is composed as a slow ballad—one of the patterns Mr.
Children excels at.
Because the tempo is that of a slow ballad, it tends to be easy to sing.
The vocal range is fairly wide at mid1E to hiF, with the hiF appearing after the key change.
Due to the nature of a slow ballad, it doesn’t require a great deal of vocal power, but since the arrangement is relatively sparse, it’s harder to mask imperfections, so practice is a must.
QUEEN’s SanctuaryHypnosis Mic -D.R.B
As a music-origin character rap project, Hypnosis Mic -D.
R.
B- captivates fans through a wide-ranging media mix.
Released in September 2025, this track was newly written as the theme song for the stage production “Hypnosis Mic -Division Rap Battle-.” Its aggressive sound—where rock and rap collide intensely—cranks up the energy.
The lyrics, infused with defiance against an unreasonable world and a strong will to uphold one’s ideals, may resonate with anyone fighting their own battles day to day.
Featuring powerful choral parts by the female cast, it’s a dramatic work that leaves a strong impact.
