First ClassJack Harlow

Jack Harlow – First Class [Official Music Video]

Jack Harlow is a rapper who, despite being white, earns respect from Black heads.

Because his sound is catchier than typical hip-hop, some might assume he’s a fake, but his rap skills are extremely high, and while his music is catchy, it’s also refined.

Among his tracks, First Class pairs skillful rapping with a simple beat, delivering a calm vibe while packing exceptional punch.

Rapping in English can be challenging due to the language barrier, but if you can pull it off, it’s incredibly cool—so definitely give it a try.

Maybe Next TimeJamie Miller

Jamie Miller – Maybe Next Time (Official Video)

Jamie Miller is a pop singer from the UK.

He might not be very well-known in Japan, but he’s hugely popular in Britain, and his distinctive tone and unique singing style create a world all his own.

Among his works, the one I especially recommend is “Maybe Next Time.” It’s an emotional ballad, and if someone with a similarly husky voice sings it, I think it can sound incredibly cool.

Be sure to check it out.

Jaymes Young – Infinity [Visualizer]

James Young is an American singer-songwriter who has gained popularity for his stylish musicality.

His song “Infinity” is one of his biggest hits.

Genre-wise, it has the feel of sleek electropop mixed with hip-hop elements.

Since the track features a lot of falsetto, it’s a great choice if you’re confident in the power of your lower-range falsetto.

When singing it at karaoke, lightly applying autotune is recommended.

Joji – Die For You

Joji, a Japanese R&B singer signed to 88rising, a platform showcasing Asian culture, included Die For You on his album SMITHEREENS, the same record that features the 2022 smash hit Glimpse of Us.

The song poignantly conveys the heartbreak of a man after a breakup.

Even with regret, he simply wishes happiness for his ex.

Joji’s airy vocals and the calm, cool atmosphere are captivating, making you want to sing it smoothly yourself.

Jorja Smith – GO GO GO

Go Go Go by Jorja Smith is charged with anger at a betrayal of trust.

Released as a single in 2023, it also appears on her second album, Falling or Flying, which came out the same year.

The music video, shot in Marseille, France, features Jorja portraying a woman betrayed by her lover.

To capture the distinctly English groove created by heavy use of syncopation, it’s recommended to practice moving your mouth clearly and deliberately.
