A roundup of Western songs with titles that start with 'Q'

QwertyMushroomhead

Mushroomhead – Qwerty

It’s a popular song by a heavy metal band known for their masks reminiscent of Slipknot and their intense metal sound.

The track is a metal classic that showcases their own unique strengths, featuring a harsh, chaotic atmosphere characteristic of the band and striking death growl vocals—offering a distinct appeal from Slipknot.

I also recommend “qué le pasa conmigo?”, which has a pleasant Latin-style sound.

It’s a collaboration between NICKI NICOLE, a new-generation rapper from Argentina, and RELS B, a rapper from Spain.

NICKI NICOLE raps from the perspective of a woman who knows she’s being deceived but can’t bring herself to break up, while RELS B raps from the man’s point of view.

A highlight is how their relationship shifts as the song progresses toward the second half.

I hope you enjoy it like watching a romantic movie.

A song incorporating elements of bossa nova and samba that became an international hit in 1962, with music by Tony Renis and original lyrics by Alberto Testa.

The performance is by an orchestra conducted by Malcolm Lockyer.

The track has been used in numerous films, including The Easy Life and The Blues Brothers.

Queen of the PackPatra

Patra – Queen Of The Pack

Patra, a deejay known as one of the leading female artists in reggae and hailed as the “Queen of the Dancehall,” defies the common belief that women have a disadvantage in deejaying due to vocal qualities.

She is renowned for her powerful ragamuffin style that shows no hint of such limitations.

One of her signature tracks, Queen of the Pack, released in 1993, became a hit not only in Jamaica but also in the United States.

RaeLynn is an American female singer-songwriter.

She gained recognition for her talent on the popular music audition show “The Voice,” and is popular for a musical style that blends country music and pop.

Her song “Queens Don’t” carries a noble message comparing herself to a queen, teaching the importance of having confidence in oneself.

QuiverSILK

SILK – Quiver (Official Video)

Have you listened to the TikTok-viral track “Quiver” yet? It’s a release by Silk, a next-generation music producer from the UK.

The track layers high-pitched vocals over bright, synth-driven tones.

Once you hear it, you’ll notice how that combination creates a world that feels both ethereal and surreal.

Besides streaming the track itself, I also recommend checking out the related videos on TikTok.

QuestShimon & Andy C

Andy C & Shimon – Quest

Andy C, the British artist who heads the prestigious and long-established drum and bass label RAM Records and serves as a leading figure in the scene.

The fact that he founded the label at just 16 speaks volumes about his precocious talent.

Still incredibly busy today as a top-tier DJ, Andy C remains deeply involved in the evolution of drum and bass—so much so that following his trajectory is almost like tracing the genre’s history itself.

Let me introduce “Quest,” a 12-inch single released in 1996 on his own label, produced in collaboration with fellow British DJ/producer Shimon during Andy C’s younger days.

Despite its overall simplicity, the track is strikingly cool, pairing airy electronic textures with tight breakbeats.

Considering its release year, it stands as an important testament to early drum and bass, showcasing the creative talents of both Andy C and Shimon.

I also recommend the B-side, “Night Flight,” which features a more primitive, jungle-inspired structure.
