He’s so in-demand in pop music through his collaborations with top artists that many music fans may no longer even file him strictly under house or EDM.
In March 2015, he released a collaborative track with Nicki Minaj, Bebe Rexha, and Afrojack— the fourth single from his album “Listen,” and a hit that peaked at No.
8 on the Billboard Hot 100.

OutKast is a hip-hop duo consisting of André 3000 and Big Boi.
They’re from Atlanta and primarily represent Southern rap.
Within that, their style is known as Dirty South, which evokes a pastoral, down-home vibe.
One of OutKast’s classic tracks is Hey Ya! While the song incorporates pop elements, the lyrics reflect the distinct speech patterns and values characteristic of the South Side.

Have you ever listened to Brendon Urie’s vocals, often described as “wonderful” and “amazing”? This track, included on Panic! At The Disco’s sixth studio album Pray for the Wicked, was released in June 2018.
Singing about success in the entertainment industry and the price that comes with it, the song reached No.

Hey AngelOne Direction
One Direction, the boy group that became hugely popular in Japan in the 2010s.
Known for their sweet looks and cohesive musical style, they’ve produced many hit songs, but the one I especially recommend is Hey Angel.
While this track features an incredibly refreshing melody, its strong beat also gives it a grand, expansive feel.
It’s perfect for leisure activities or a morning workout.
Be sure to check it out.
HeyPixies
The Pixies are a rock band that gained popularity with a style featuring dry guitar and a hard, often-described-as-screaming vocal.
If you’re into rock, you’ve probably heard of them.
They’ve produced many classics, but the one I particularly recommend is “Hey.” It’s an alternative rock track with a strikingly rundown atmosphere.
The bittersweet yet cool guitar riff evokes an indescribable sense of melancholy.
It’s perfect for late-night drives or when you want to lose yourself in a drink.
Hey JealousyGin Blossoms
When it comes to the Gin Blossoms’ signature songs that colored the rock scene of the 1990s, this is the one whose poignant feelings and striking melody really hit home.
Formed in Tempe, Arizona, their sound shows a strong influence from the Byrds and Tom Petty.
Released in January 1992 and later included on the album New Miserable Experience, the song explores lost love and regret, deftly portraying the protagonist’s complex emotions.
The lyrics, which contain autobiographical elements from Doug Hopkins, are sure to evoke deep empathy.
Even as it carries the pain of heartbreak, its forward-looking stance resonates with many listeners.
Hey YouPink Floyd
Pink Floyd, the England-born rock band affectionately known as “Floyd.” As a leading force in arena rock and art rock, their uniquely creative and artistic sound continues to be loved by rock fans today.
Among Pink Floyd’s works, the one I especially recommend is “Hey You.” Its greatest appeal lies in the dramatic expression that shines precisely because of their classical foundations.
