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!

mxmtoon, a Gen Z icon who took flight from her bedroom in Oakland to the world.

This song is featured on her April 2020 EP, Dawn.

It’s a bittersweet yet beautiful coming-of-age track that sings of nostalgia for days gone by.

It seems to portray the complex feelings that mix loneliness with optimism when you drift away from close relationships and familiar places.

The dreamy soundscape—like floating through a dream—and her gentle, intimate vocals tug at the heartstrings.

It’s the kind of song you’ll want to play on nights when you’re feeling a little sentimental.

As you settle into a new chapter of life, in those moments when you suddenly long for the past, it will surely be there to comfort you.
