[For Women] When in Doubt, Sing These! Easy-to-Sing Western Songs (41–50)

Take Me Home, Country RoadsOlivia Newton-John

Everyone must have sung “Take Me Home, Country Roads” at some point.

Sounds familiar, right? That’s right—it’s the original song of “Country Road,” which we even learn at school.

The “easy-to-sing genre” I mentioned at the beginning refers to country music, and as you can tell from the title, this song is a classic example of country.

It’s a genre you can sing even without a powerful voice.

It doesn’t require vocal runs either, so it’s great for beginners.

However, because there aren’t many lyrics, there are lots of long notes, so it’s a good idea to master vibrato.

You can still pull it off without it, but take this opportunity to learn vibrato!

Ariana Grande is a female singer-songwriter who’s always at the forefront of the scene.

Early on, she set herself apart with her high tones, including her whistle register, but lately her downbeat, realistic lyrics have been especially striking.

Among her songs, the one I particularly recommend is “we can’t be friends.” While it’s on the slightly higher side, it doesn’t have an extremely wide vocal range, so you should be able to sing it smoothly if you adjust the key.

It’s a synthwave-style track that doesn’t place heavy emphasis on advanced vocal techniques like runs or hiccups, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

You Belong With MeTaylor Swift

Teenagers love Taylor Swift.

These days, she keeps releasing songs that seem destined to be hits, but “You Belong With Me” is from her country phase.

Country music is surprisingly easy to sing.

As I mentioned at the beginning, it’s a genre that’s easy for women to sing, too.

Country is simple.

It doesn’t require that much vocal prowess.

Even if you’re not good at vibrato, this song still works pretty well—so definitely give it a try!

ComplicatedAvril Lavigne

Avril Lavigne’s hit song “Complicated.” Her music is often seen as punk, but this track feels rather pop.

The melody is quite simple, so I think it’s easy to sing.

However, the chorus does require a fairly powerful delivery, so you might need to practice that part.

That said, it’s more about conveying strength than sheer volume, so even those who aren’t confident in their vocal power should be fine.

The English isn’t too difficult either, so it’s recommended for beginners.

Give it a try!

A Thousand MilesVanessa Carlton

The hit song “A Thousand Miles” by popular singer-songwriter Vanessa Carlton.

Even if you don’t know it in detail, many of you probably recognize the intro, right? This song is a classic pop tune.

To be frank, it’s incredibly easy to sing.

In Western music, there are melodies that feel unfamiliar to Japanese listeners, right? That’s what makes them hard.

But this song is different.

It’s packed with phrases you’d hear in Japanese pop.

In other words, it’s easy to sing even with a Japanese sense of rhythm and melody.

You don’t even need vibrato.

As long as you pay attention to pronunciation and how you start each phrase, anyone can sing it!

Close To YouCarpenters

Among the Carpenters’ catalog, the classic “(They Long to Be) Close to You” stands out as one of their most beloved hits.

This song is a love ballad depicting a woman pining for someone, and it was released in the 1970s.

Musically, it’s quintessential pop—crafted with a light, gentle melody.

The English lyrics flow smoothly, and the vocal range isn’t very wide, making it an easy song to sing.

You can perform it in the style of the original, of course, but a more downbeat, soft-spoken delivery—like Billie Eilish’s—also sounds compelling.

Feel free to use that as a reference.

Addison Rae, the internet celebrity who was the world’s second most-followed TikToker in 2021, is now active as a female singer-songwriter and has dropped several hit tunes.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is Diet Pepsi.

The high notes in the chorus might seem a bit challenging, but because she sings with quite restrained volume, it’s well within reach for women with an average vocal range.

There are no advanced techniques like runs, shouts, or hiccups, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
