Song 2Blur
Led by the dry tone of twin drums from Dave Rowntree and Graham Coxon, with Coxon’s simple guitar and Damon Albarn’s slanted “Woo-hoo” alone silencing America, this is a classic Blur track.
In 1997, as the Britpop boom was coming to an end, this song became the catalyst for Blur—who had struggled to sell in the U.
S.
—to finally break through.
At the time, it drew criticism as grunge- or alt-rock-imitating, but now it’s long been cherished as one of their signature songs.

Unleash the Archers is a metal band from Canada.
As a female-fronted metal band, they rank among the best in the world; not only is their musicianship outstanding, but vocalist Brittney’s singing ability is among the highest even compared to metal singers worldwide.
Their hit song Tonight We Ride is an energetic track that cranks the intensity to the max right from the intro.
UntitledD’Angelo

Neo-soul is a new genre that blends soul music with hip-hop, jazz, and funk, and his presence in the 1990s influenced many artists.
One of his classic songs is Untitled.
It’s one of his signature works, opening with a passionate guitar intro.
Built in triple meter, even the intro alone is packed with the allure of neo-soul.
Te Amo CorazónPrince
With his unique musicality that incorporated numerous genres, he earned extremely high acclaim from devoted listeners around the world.
Although he passed away in 2016, he continues to influence many artists—a true “artist’s artist” and a bona fide genius.
His classic “Te Amo Corazón” was released as the lead single from the 2006 album 3121.
The intro exudes a stylish, mature vibe, marked by a distinctive Latin flavor.

His new track is “WITHOUT YOU.” This piece has a strong rock influence, blending digital sounds with classic rock structures to create a distinctive atmosphere.
Be sure to pay attention to the distorted guitar in the intro!
GOSSIP (ft. Tom Morello)Måneskin
Opening with a bold and seductive guitar riff, “GOSSIP” is a masterpiece born from the collaboration between Måneskin and Tom Morello.
The powerful sound of the acclaimed Italian rock band is amplified by the presence of the legendary Rage Against the Machine guitarist, resulting in a track with immense weight and impact.
The twisted, cleverly crafted riff phrases and dynamic shifts deliver a striking impact that immediately pulls the listener in.
The song centers on a scathing critique of contemporary society steeped in pretense.
Through metaphors like a “city of lies” and a “circus,” it satirizes superficial values that obscure the truth, while urging listeners not to lose sight of their authentic selves deep within.
Released as a single from the album “RUSH!,” it’s an ambitious work that showcases the band’s evolution.
It’s highly recommended not only for rock fans, but for anyone seeking exhilarating, provocative music.
JadedSpiritbox
Hailing from Canada, Spiritbox has won popularity with a sound that pairs beautiful, mysterious melodies with progressive, weighty heaviness.
Their 2023 track “Jaded,” which drew major attention, overflows with an overwhelming sound that grips the listener and never lets go.
You can tell how great the song is from the dramatic, riff-driven intro alone: the unique groove created by the dense distortion and the exquisite harmony woven with vocalist Courtney LaPlante’s soaring voice are key elements of its appeal.
The lyrics are laced with themes of loneliness, self-doubt, and the struggle to find one’s true self, conveying the kind of depthful message that is quintessentially Spiritbox.
Keep an eye on their music as they continue to lead the modern metal scene from the very front.
