The Weeknd, a Canadian singer-songwriter who brought the 1980s trend of synth-pop back into the modern spotlight.
Thanks to the massive hit of his 2019 release “Blinding Lights,” even middle school students may know him.
One of his standout tracks released in 2022 is “Take My Breath.” It’s incredibly compelling, blending the feel of 1980s synth-pop with a contemporary R&B sound.

Shameless (TikTok Remix)Camila Cabello
Singer-songwriter Camila Cabello, who combines a cute look with genuine musicality, has won widespread popularity.
Her Latin music–based style is widely supported even outside the English-speaking world.
Among her songs, one I especially recommend is “Shameless (TikTok Remix).” It’s a track that’s trending on TikTok and exudes a very stylish vibe.
It also seems perfect for dance music use.
Wouldn’t it make ideal background music for a fashion department runway, for example?
