Donna Summer, long respected by many artists as the Queen of Funk.

Even after her passing, her passionate—truly hot—vocal style continues to entertain us through remixes and more.

When it comes to her signature songs, isn’t “Hot Stuff” the one that comes to mind? It’s funk, yet never overbearing—rather, it’s an upbeat, high-voltage, and refreshing take on the genre.

A heart-pounding track by Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding has been born.

Crafted by these two UK artists, the song is a moving piece that celebrates the transformative power of love.

With a sound reminiscent of 1990s trance layered with Goulding’s crystalline vocals, it captivates listeners.

Since its release in March 2023, it has been beloved by many, topping the UK charts.

It has even been nominated for a Grammy, with its appeal recognized worldwide.

This work, which conveys the importance of believing in the miracle of love, is perfect for times when you need hope or want to look ahead.

With lyrics that resonate and a soothing beat, it will bring happiness to your everyday life.

Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic gives you a joy that feels like magic.

It’s a standout pop number that shines on the otherwise serious album Ghost in the Machine.

Released in 1981 by The Police, a British rock band that established a unique musical identity while also achieving commercial success.

The song captures that heart‑pounding feeling of love, where everything your crush does seems magical.

The protagonist struggles to take action, making it easy to empathize with a love that can’t quite take the next step.

The music video shows a charming side of The Police, and the bright, softly sparkling sound—though a bit unusual for them—is delightful too.

It’s adorable how the song brims with affection for someone special.

A solo track by George Michael, the vocalist of Wham!, who also won a Grammy in 1988.

Known in Japan for hits like “Last Christmas,” he released this wonderful pop song after Wham! disbanded.

With a lively rhythm and handclaps, it retains the familiar groove from his band days, making it a very comfortable piece of dance music.

Selena Gomez – Feel Me (Lyric Video)

This work was first unveiled at a live performance in 2016.

After that, it remained unreleased until 2020, when it was included on the album Rare.

The lyrics are quite bittersweet, expressing feelings that the singer can’t forget about a lover, yet the song has a moderately upbeat, mid-tempo groove.

With a touch of tropical flair and a sparse arrangement, it’s a track that lets Selena Gomez’s clear vocals shine.

Rock And Roll All NiteKISS69rank/position

Kiss, the hard rock band that represents America.

Their bright, East Coast musical vibe really stands out, doesn’t it? When you think of Kiss, you think of a band with plenty of feel-good hard rock that gets everyone pumped.

Among their songs, one I especially recommend is Rock And Roll All Nite.

I think it’s a track everyone’s heard at least once.

It’s said to be inspired by Slade’s Crazy Mama, and the result is a refreshing, high-voltage hard rock tune.

Be sure to check it out.

Feeling GoodNina Simone70rank/position

The legendary American singer Nina Simone.

Known for her unique style that blends jazz and blues, this song is one of her signature works.

Released in June 1965, it celebrates the beginning of a new life through images of natural beauty, like birds soaring high and the sun shining bright.

With its rich vocals and philosophical lyrics, it captivated many listeners.

It regained attention when it was used in a UK commercial in 1994, and has since been covered by various artists—an enduring classic that never loses its luster.

It’s the perfect track for welcoming a new morning or giving yourself a boost.
