EchoNEW!Olivia Dean
When you’re carrying an indescribable frustration deep in your chest, Echo is there to gently stay by your side.
Released in October 2020 by UK singer-songwriter Olivia Dean, this track elevates fraying relationships and the frustration of not being heard into an elegant pop song.
The vintage-tinged horn arrangements layer with her soulful, steadfast vocals, creating not just sadness but a sense of empowered self-assertion.
The song was also included on the EP What Am I Gonna Do On Sundays? released later that year, marking it early on as a piece that showcased her expressive range.
On nights when you just want someone to listen and stand by you, give it a spin.
Not Even the KingAlicia Keys
A heartwarming ballad by Alicia Keys, where the piano melody gently resonates.
The song sings about priceless values—trust and love—that even a “king” with wealth and power cannot buy.
More precious than any expensive jewel, it cherishes the happiness of simply being by someone’s side, delivering a lovely message.
Featured on her 2012 album Girl on Fire, the piece is also known for being co-written with Emeli Sandé.
In September of the same year, she performed it solo on piano for a charity program, and her unadorned presence and vocals moved many.
No flashy production needed—why not listen on a quiet White Day evening, nestled close to the one you love?
PLAY THIS SONG (FEAT.ANDERSON .PAAK)Mariah Carey
Should we try to rekindle a finished romance, or let it go completely? Captured as a dialogue between two voices, this track was released in September 2025 as the third single from the album “Here for It All.” It’s a duet with Anderson .Paak, marked by a groovy sound steeped in the spirit of ’70s soul and Motown.
The vivid drums, warm keys, and shimmering chimes weave a vintage texture that evokes the feel of Silk Sonic.
The conversational lyrics convey a realistic, mature relationship.
Eschewing excessive ornamentation, its design draws you in through the interplay of harmony and rhythm, the sense of space, and the underlying chord movements—perfect for deep, attentive listening.
Shake it offTaylor Swift
The music video for this song is super cute and funny.
I love how she changes into all kinds of outfits, shows so many expressions, and it’s guaranteed to get you hyped.
Taylor is just too cute! The part where she slips between people’s legs is especially adorable.
I like her signature song “We Are~” too, but I recommend this one.
My placeNelly
I’m singing with Jaheim.
This song is also one of my top ten—it’s really good.
I thought the title could be taken as “Come back to me,” which sounded cool.
It’s a pop R&B love song.
I like the overall vibe, of course, but I especially love Jaheim’s cute-sounding voice.
Perfect To MeAnne-Marie
A heartwarming self-love anthem that gives you a chance to reexamine your true self.
Sung by British artist Anne-Marie, this song carries a gentle message for anyone struggling with insecurities about their appearance or the pressures of societal expectations.
Included on the deluxe edition of her 2018 album “Speak Your Mind,” it later became a beloved single as well.
Centered on themes of self-esteem and body positivity, it powerfully celebrates the importance of embracing yourself just as you are.
It’s a track you’ll want to listen to when you feel your confidence waver in front of the mirror or find yourself discouraged by comparisons with others.
The RoseBette Midler
The Rose is calm and soothing, and it’s a song that really shines when performed, so it should feel great to sing! When you sing it, breath control is key—you’ll want to let it flow as if you’re speaking throughout.
Try not to break it up too much; aim to sing one phrase at a time so it doesn’t sound choppy and keeps a soft, gentle vibe.
Take a deep breath and try connecting the lines smoothly, as if you’re drawing a large circle forward in front of you.
By the way, The Rose is often chosen for karaoke scoring as well.
The melody is easy to remember, so definitely give it a try!
