Debut songs by Western female artists from the 90s (11–20)
Back & ForthAaliyah
Aaliyah, an American R&B singer known for her cute visuals and cool vocals, is active not only as an artist but also as an actress.
She’s also famous for appearing in the film The Matrix Reloaded.
Her music is basically orthodox R&B, but compared to other R&B singers, it tends to be a bit more groovy.
Back & Forth is a laid-back track, yet it’s the kind of song that really makes you want to dance.
Tu Me CamelasNiña Pastori
Niña Pastori is one of Spain’s top cantaoras.
Even among active cantaoras, she is an artist with top-tier vocal ability.
Although she isn’t widely known in Japan, I chose to feature her because, among the female artists of the ’90s introduced here, her singing ability stands out by far.
Tu Me Camelas is a work she released in her teens, yet it already exudes the presence of a seasoned veteran.
It’s a song that really conveys the high caliber of Spain’s music scene.
You Give Good LoveWhitney Houston
Whitney Houston debuted in 1985, but wasn’t her most active and successful period the 1990s? Her debut song, You Give Good Love, carries a neo-soul vibe.
That track was a hit as well, but the album she released two years later topped the Billboard charts.
In 1994, I Will Always Love You became a massive hit that sparked a social phenomenon.
It’s such a shame that she passed away.
Where Does My Heart Beat NowCéline Dion
Céline Dion, the Canadian artist who gained worldwide fame with the Titanic theme song “My Heart Will Go On,” is also very popular in Japan.
“Where Does My Heart Beat Now” is her debut single, and even at that time her musical identity was already well established.
“Where Does My Heart Beat Now” reached No.
4 on the U.S.
Billboard charts.
All I Wanna DoChristina Aguilera
Christina Aguilera, an artist who still remains at the top of the US scene.
While she’s now fully immersed in R&B and dance music, back then she had a neo-soul vibe.
Her official debut was in 1999, but in fact, she released a single in 1997 with singer Keizo Nakanishi titled “All I Wanna Do.” “All I Wanna Do” was the first single she ever released.
