Cool and highly acclaimed Western music classics and popular songs (141–150)
I Don’t Think SoDinosaur Jr.
While another song might better represent Dinosaur Jr, I deliberately chose this one.
The music video features quirky characters, but the cool guitar sound and the mumbling vocals make this band uniquely compelling.
There are many cool rock acts from the ’90s, and Dinosaur Jr is one American band I’d love more young people to discover.
Boo’d UpElla Mai
If you’re looking for high-quality R&B, I highly recommend ‘Boo’d Up.
‘ It’s sung by Ella Mai, an artist from the UK.
She’s known for her distinctive musical style that doesn’t follow trends.
In ‘Boo’d Up’ as well, she draws heavily on the classic sounds of old-school R&B.
It truly embodies what great R&B should be.
This song was a massive hit between 2017 and 2018 and went on to win the Grammy Award for Best R&B Song.
Close To MeEllie Goulding, Diplo, Swae Lee
A powerhouse collaboration by singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding, DJ/producer Diplo, and rapper Swae Lee.
Its refreshingly crisp sound captivates the listener’s ears and heart.
The music video is stylish and eye-catching as well.
The lyrics express pure love, asking a partner to stay by their side—if you’re curious, be sure to check out the Japanese translation too.
AndromedaElodie
Elodie, a singer-songwriter from Italy.
Wouldn’t you say her appeal lies in that smoky low register and her refined musical sensibility? She blends acoustic sounds and classic genres with modern electronic music in just the right balance.
Her track Andromeda is a mix of R&B and house elements.
It’s insanely cool—highly recommended.
If you like reggaeton, you’ll probably enjoy it too.
Your SongElton John
When she’s feeling sad, even if you can’t play any instruments, sing Elton John’s Your Song for her a cappella.
This song has the power to make your eyes well up and wrap you in warm compassion, bringing comfort and peace.
To the comforted her, you will always be a cool hero.
Chase RiceEyes On You
Eyes On You, released in November 2017 by American singer-songwriter Chase Rice.
This love song tells the story of a protagonist from Carolina in the United States who nostalgically recalls the days spent with his lover in his hometown, gazing back toward home from where he is now in Paris.
It’s a slightly bittersweet song that conveys a strong, heartfelt emotion.
His smooth, sweet vocals are another highlight!
Worth ItFifth Harmony
Fifth Harmony is a five-member American girl group from the audition show The X Factor, and in this song they collaborate with the rapper Kid Ink.
Marking a shift from their previously cute teen-pop style to a more mature and sexy direction, the song also carries a message to young women to believe in their own worth.
