Pathaan, a 2023 blockbuster Indian film also known as a Bollywood hit, has drawn attention not only in India but around the world.
The song Jhoome Jo, which plays during the movie’s ending, is a duet by Indian artists Arijit Singh and Sukriti Kakar.
Its sound—an impassioned fusion of Indian traditional music and Latin music—is incredibly cool.
It’s a track you’ll want to enjoy alongside the grand, quintessential dance sequences that are indispensable to Indian cinema.

The cool R&B track “Blood, Sweat & Tears” is a must-listen.
It’s a collaboration by rappers Larruso Sheriff and Bas, featuring singer-songwriter Kel-P.
It serves as the theme song for the film “Creed III.” In the song, they portray the unwavering effort toward their dreams, while also expressing how even then, the things they truly want remain out of reach.
The lyrics evoke that sense of emptiness, aligning closely with the film’s themes.
Heart Of GlassBlondie
House of Gucci is a suspense film depicting the inner workings of Gucci, a high-end brand beloved around the world.
Featured on its soundtrack is Heart of Glass, a song by Blondie, the American new wave band active in the late 1970s.
You can enjoy Debbie Harry’s beautiful vocals along with a pop sound that also incorporates disco elements.
The band reunited in 1997, and in 2003 they even performed at the midsummer open-air festival Summer Sonic, where Debbie Harry’s ageless beauty astonished Japanese rock fans!
I Don’t Want to Miss a ThingAerosmith
A heart-stirring masterpiece of a rock ballad by Aerosmith.
This song, which expresses a powerful desire not to miss a single moment with a loved one, conveys deep affection and passion.
Released in July 1998 as the theme song for the film Armageddon, it became Aerosmith’s first No.
1 in the United States, achieving the remarkable feat of holding the top spot for four consecutive weeks.
Played during the film’s climax, the song also portrays the bond between father and daughter and the spirit of self-sacrifice, giving it meaning beyond a simple love song.
It’s a highly recommended track not only for couples, but for anyone who wants to feel the bonds with someone important.
What’s Up?4 Non Blondes
Since the first game in the series debuted in 1996, the wildly popular Resident Evil franchise has expanded across many forms of media.
Its latest film as of now, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, was released in 2021 and, as a back-to-basics reboot, hit theaters in Japan a little later in January 2022.
Some of you may have been curious about the song used in the trailer—the one with that distinctly ’90s alt-rock vibe, contrasting slightly loose, gritty acoustic guitar with distorted electric guitar and soaring female vocals.
That song, What’s Up?, was released in 1993 by the American alternative rock band 4 Non Blondes, who were active in the early ’90s.
It’s not only the band’s signature track, but also a global hit and a beloved classic frequently covered by later generations of female artists.
The band’s primary songwriter, Linda Perry, has also had a successful solo career, so if you’re interested, be sure to check out her work!
Can I Kick It?A Tribe Called Quest
Known for their distinctive style that incorporates elements of jazz, A Tribe Called Quest’s track explores the power of self-expression and the importance of individuality.
Released as a single from their debut album, People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm, in October 1990, it features a catchy rhythm and fluid rapping.
Its influence endures, having been included in NME’s “100 Best Songs of the 1990s.” The song also references New York City’s first African American mayor, touching on the political context of the time it was recorded.
It’s a recommended listen not only for hip-hop fans but also for those interested in society and culture.
Dream OnAerosmith
The epic sci-fi action blockbuster The Creator, which also made headlines for featuring Ken Watanabe, one of Japan’s most internationally renowned actors, uses Aerosmith’s “Dream On” in its early teaser trailer.
The song, included on their 1973 debut album Aerosmith, became their first hit.
It’s a memorable ballad with lyrics reflecting on life from the perspective of an older protagonist.
Steven Tyler’s youthful, vibrant vocals are also a highlight.
