The Police – Every Breath You Take (Official Music Video)

Released in 1983, this song is known as one of The Police’s signature masterpieces.

It may sound like a love song at first, but it actually hides an eerie theme of surveillance and control.

Sting’s striking vocals and Andy Summers’s guitar riff intertwine with a sophisticated sound that hasn’t faded with time.

Die With A SmileLady Gaga, Bruno Mars53rank/position

Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars – Die With A Smile (Official Music Video)

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.

We Are YoungFun54rank/position

Fun.: We Are Young ft. Janelle Monáe [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

The fan favorite “We Are Young,” which won Song of the Year at the 55th Grammy Awards in 2013.

It’s a piece with a modern melody characteristic of indie pop, and actually, it’s quite easy to sing.

Thinking, “Huh? But isn’t this song high?” Yes, there are high parts.

But you know what? If the high notes are tough, just lower the key.

The only high section is the long tone in the chorus.

If you can get through that, the rest has a calm melody, so it ends up sounding pretty good.

Lower the key to suit your voice and give it a try.

CreepRediohead55rank/position

Radiohead – Creep

This is a song included on Radiohead’s 1993 album Pablo Honey, the album that propelled them to become one of the UK’s leading rock bands.

It was the track that helped the band break through, and even today I believe many fans still hold the deepest respect for this song.

Blinding LightsThe Weeknd56rank/position

The Weeknd – Blinding Lights (Official Video)

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.
