Western songs to listen to in the evening: a collection of moody tracks perfect for sunset time

Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
With the motto “Learn the basics and enjoy putting them into practice,” I worked as a vocal coach specializing in Western music. As a teen, I questioned the idea that “Western music equals English,” and started listening to songs from around the world. Today, I devour music from over 80 countries and run a personal blog introducing tracks. I often listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. I’ll keep updating articles daily to find the one perfect song you’re looking for!

There’s something about that time when the sun slowly sets that often sends us drifting into deep thought.

This time, I’d like to introduce some international tracks that set a comfortable mood for that mellow sunset hour.

The selection leans toward chic, calm tunes, so listening while you’re busy preparing dinner might help you relax and ease your shoulders a bit.

Enjoy these superb tracks—perfectly emotional in moderation, with an elegant atmosphere.
