From Travis Scott’s Astroworld—widely hailed as one of the best albums of 2018—here’s a track featuring Drake.

“Sicko” basically means “dope” or “crazy good.” It’s the kind of song you’ll want to shout along to with lines like “yeah” and “it’s lit”!

It’s an early song included on Cheap Trick’s third album.

They’re a band known for Robin’s husky singing voice—something you wouldn’t expect from his appearance—and Rick’s playful persona.

Their live album recorded at Budokan during their 1978 visit to Japan was highly acclaimed and is said to have spread the Budokan name around the world.

Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber are globally popular artists who are beloved by men and women across a wide range of ages.

Their dream collaboration is this track, “I Don’t Care.” It’s a fresh, fun dance tune with a stylish vibe that feels very chic.

When you want to switch your mood or you’re feeling down, I recommend watching the refreshing music video along with it.

DALLA DALLAITZY

ITZY “달라달라(DALLA DALLA)” M/V @ITZY
DALLA DALLAITZY

This is a song I’d recommend to anyone looking for dance music with a mysterious, cool vibe.

It’s “DALLA DALLA” by ITZY, an idol group from Korea that’s now known worldwide.

The track features a sound influenced by UK garage, with a bass phrase often heard in future house that sounds really cool.

While it has a mysterious feel, it’s built on a classic house-style rhythm, making it catchy and something I’d love even people who don’t usually listen to dance music to try.
