Latch (feat. Sam Smith)Disclosure

Disclosure – Latch ft. Sam Smith

This is a work by the English brother music duo Disclosure and the ballad-familiar Sam Smith.

It’s a track that always gets the crowd going at live shows with its cool vibe and danceability.

They made a striking debut at the young ages of 15 and 18, but went on hiatus in 2017.

Love The Way You LieEminem

Eminem – Love The Way You Lie ft. Rihanna

This song is by American rapper Eminem and features Barbadian singer Rihanna.

It’s a mid-tempo hip-hop ballad that sings about a man and woman in a dangerous relationship—sometimes in love, sometimes at odds—who still can’t let go of each other.

GoGrimes feat. Blood Diamonds

Grimes – Go ft. Blood Diamonds

Grimes is a Canadian singer-songwriter known for her distinctive mastery of genres like experimental, dream pop, and synth-pop.

Among her works, this track is one I especially recommend.

It’s a collaboration with Blood Diamonds, themed around reflections on dreams and reality, and the passage of time.

The song makes a strong impression by fusing electronic musicality with deep emotional expression.

Released in 2014, it later appeared in a remixed version on the Japan edition of the album Art Angels.

The music video alternates between desert landscapes and club scenes, making it visually captivating as well.

Sweet Child O’ MineGuns N’ Roses

Guns N’ Roses – Sweet Child O’ Mine (Official Music Video)

It’s a Guns N’ Roses song that starts with a cool guitar solo.

It’s rooted in hard rock, but the melody is really good, and above all, the high-pitched vocals are awesome.

The guitar solo has a slightly bluesy feel, too, which makes it sound really great!

Heaven Can Wait (Official Lyric Video) ft. Sia, Diplo, LabrinthLSD

LSD – Heaven Can Wait (Official Lyric Video) ft. Sia, Diplo, Labrinth

This is a track released in May 2019 by LSD, the charismatic group produced by Diplo.

The MV is a lyric video, and it’s fun because the lyrics appear at the bottom like karaoke! The song’s deep, heavily compressed brass sound creates a powerful riff that’s getting rave reviews.

Sia’s strong vocals and Diplo’s track-making blend perfectly.

This one feels like another anthem in the making!

JuiceLizzo

Lizzo – Juice (Official Video)

The humor-filled music video is super cool.

Lizzo is a popular female rapper in the United States.

In the MV, the homage to TV shopping and variety shows has become a hot topic.

Maybe it’s the vibe of the song, but getting this kind of atmosphere in a rapper’s MV feels uniquely her.

The backing track is pop with a funk flavor that evokes disco, and it fits her character perfectly.

Le bien qui fait malMozart Opera Rock

Mozart Opera Rock – Le bien qui fait mal (Clip officiel)

The famous French musical Rock Opera Mozart features the song Le bien qui fait mal, a piece wrapped in a gothic atmosphere.

How should I put it—there’s a kind of vampiric coolness hidden within it.

The melody is crafted to appeal to both fans of classical music and rock.

In particular, I think it will really hit the spot for those who love gothic metal or symphonic metal!
