Adele, a British singer-songwriter whose emotional vocals have earned her worldwide popularity.

When you think of Adele, you think of her powerful, highly expressive melodies.

Her new song, Easy On Me, showcases those strengths beautifully.

It’s not a song for a lively, party-style sing-along, but if you can deliver it with style, it’s sure to turn heads—so why not give it a try?

For women who are confident singers, Adele—renowned for her soulful voice—has songs you’ll want to try at karaoke at least once.

That said, the long sustained notes in signature tracks like Hello can be tough to master.

In those cases, I recommend I Drink Wine.

Among Adele’s songs, its key isn’t that high and there are fewer long notes, making it easier to sing at karaoke.

Why not make your Adele debut with this track?

American pop star Ariana Grande released her new single “Yes, And?” on January 12, 2024, as the lead single from her seventh album.

The track brings a fresh breeze roughly three years after her previous work, Positions.

“Yes, And?” nods to Beyoncé’s Renaissance and Madonna’s Vogue, blending genres from disco to house music, and is marked by incisive lyrics that serve as a response to personal challenges and criticism.

In particular, the line “my tongue is sacred and I speak whatever I please” reflects her commitment to authenticity and carries a message that encourages listeners to embrace themselves.

“Yes, And?” can be seen as a rallying cry not only for younger generations but also for anyone troubled by everyday criticism or negative opinions around them.

Radiating a new era’s confidence and positivity from the ever-vocally-gifted Ariana, this song deserves a spot in your karaoke repertoire—belt it out powerfully with friends!

If you want to try singing Western songs at karaoke but don’t have the courage yet, I recommend “Don’t Look Back in Anger.” It was released in 1996 by Oasis, a rock band from Manchester, England, and its moving sound and rock performance have been loved across generations.

Many Japanese musicians have been influenced by them in their songwriting, so among Western songs, it has an easy-to-listen-to melody.

It’s mid-tempo and has lots of rhymes in the lyrics, so with a bit of practice you’ll get good at it! If you can sing it at karaoke, you’ll have everyone’s eyes on you.
