Among his tracks, one with a particularly cool intro is Crow Killer Blues.
Pay attention to its hard-hitting sound that evokes the White Zombie era!

Buika, a highly skilled singer from Spain, is known as a leading artist in Nuevo Flamenco, a genre that blends flamenco with jazz, R&B, and other musical styles.

Roxanne is a song released during his time with The Police, and it has been remade in various arrangements over the years.
The version I’d like to recommend this time is the symphonic rendition.
From its stylish, mature intro to the gently beginning vocals, it’s a highly captivating piece.
TyphoonsRoyal Blood
Royal Blood is a rock duo formed in Brighton, England, in 2013.
Compared to the legends, their career can still be considered relatively young, but they’ve already earned recognition from many artists, even serving as the opening act for Foo Fighters in 2015, just two years after their formation.
The work I’d recommend from them is Typhoons.
Be sure to check out its cool intro that evokes the vibe of glam rock.
