Close To YouCarpenters85rank/position

[They Long To Be] Close To You

Among the Carpenters’ catalog, the classic “(They Long to Be) Close to You” stands out as one of their most beloved hits.

This song is a love ballad depicting a woman pining for someone, and it was released in the 1970s.

Musically, it’s quintessential pop—crafted with a light, gentle melody.

The English lyrics flow smoothly, and the vocal range isn’t very wide, making it an easy song to sing.

You can perform it in the style of the original, of course, but a more downbeat, soft-spoken delivery—like Billie Eilish’s—also sounds compelling.

Feel free to use that as a reference.

The track is an ode to female strength and became a hit in countries around the world.

LIFETIMESKaty Perry87rank/position

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.

The SubwayChappell Roan88rank/position

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!

If We Hold On TogetherDiana Ross89rank/position

If We Hold On Together

If you can manage vibrato, I highly recommend “If We Hold On Together.” This song is sung by the globally popular artist Diana Ross, and because her singing style sticks to the basics, it’s surprisingly easy to sing.

The lyrics are on the shorter side, so there are quite a few long notes.

However, there aren’t any shouty phrases, so you shouldn’t run out of breath very often.

If you’re at least a little confident in your singing, definitely give it a try!

The GiverChappell Roan90rank/position

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.
