Stay (Don’t Go Away)David Guetta feat Raye
Highly recommended for those who love the vibe of modern dance music that traces back to the roots of house! “Stay (Don’t Go Away)” by David Guetta featuring RAYE blends classic house beats with EDM leads, a bouncy bassline, and RAYE’s beautiful vocals to perfection.
The bassline in particular feels light and snappy, making you want to move with the rhythm.
Break My HeartDua Lipa
Dua Lipa, a singer with a low, husky voice who enjoys international popularity.
She’s a major artist who frequently ranks high on the charts in Japan as well, so many of you probably know her.
Among her works, the one I especially recommend for school cultural festivals is “Break My Heart.” While its structure is simple and evokes classic house, each individual sound is crafted into a highly refined melody, making it a perfect match for shuffle dance!
IllusioDua Lipa
“Illusio” is the third single from Dua Lipa’s latest album, Radical Optimism.
While sharply pointing out the illusory nature of modern romantic expressions of love, the track radiates a steadfast strength that never loses sight of self.
Built on a sophisticated melody line that perfectly balances house and pop, it’s ideal for dance scenes at school festivals and cultural events.
With a catchy, unforgettable sound that’s sure to electrify the crowd, this April 2024 release is a standout you won’t want to miss.
DUN DUNEVERGLOW
Everglow’s hit song “DUN DUN.” It was released in 2020, but its melody evokes the U.S.
dance music scene from about six to seven years earlier.
The melody might feel a bit dated, but it’s straightforward and would be perfect for events like school festivals.
The structure—common in East Asia—features Verse A, Verse B, two choruses, then a big chorus, and finally one last chorus, which makes it approachable even for people who aren’t used to dancing.
What Do I Know?Ed Sheeran
A very catchy track with a positive vibe, released as a digital download in 2017 by British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran.
It became a hit worldwide and was certified Gold in the UK and Canada.
