Easy to sing: Cool songs by female artists that sound great when sung by men

“Songs by female artists are hard to sing…” You hear that a lot, but that’s not necessarily true!

The reason female songs can feel difficult is the difference in vocal range between men and women.

In other words, as long as you adjust the key, you can sing songs by female artists just fine.

That said, women often have a wider range than men, so in that sense, male singers may find female artists’ songs a bit harder to sing.

So this time, we’ve picked out female-artist tracks that are especially cool in style and easy for men to sing.

We also touch on some professional vocal knowledge and techniques, so be sure to check it out!

The lyrics delicately depict emotions lurking deep within the heart—such as the fragility of relationships formed through social media and the discomfort of constantly putting on a persona—resonating with many listeners.

Released digitally in April 2020, the song was included as a bonus track on the album “the meaning of life.” It steadily gained support, peaking at No.

A rock ballad whose melody expresses gratitude to a loved one and whose lyrics reflect on the cherished presence that taught the meaning and joy of life, resonating deeply with the heart.

JUJU’s powerful yet delicate vocals weave an emotional story.

Released in February 2009, the song was used as the commercial theme for a collaboration project between MTV Japan and Nissan Cube, with the artist herself appearing in the ad.

It has since been covered by numerous artists, and in 2016 it gained attention again when Flower covered it as the theme song for the film “Evergreen Love (Shokubutsu Zukan).” While the vocal range is fairly wide, if you adjust the key and sing carefully, male vocalists can fully convey the song’s world as well.

MPurinsesu Purinsesu

A classic by Princess Princess that tenderly sings of a woman’s delicate feelings after heartbreak.

It begins with a quiet piano and builds into a grand ballad as instruments layer in, as if releasing pent-up emotions.

The words, penned by Kyoko Tomita based on her own experiences, express both the pain of a breakup and the courage to move forward.

Included on the album “LET’S GET CRAZY,” released in November 1988, the song was reintroduced the following year as the B-side to “Diamonds.” Thanks to its timeless appeal, it has been covered by many artists, including Hideaki Tokunaga and Masayoshi Yamazaki.

When tackling songs originally sung by female vocalists, checking whether male artists have covered them could be a useful tip for choosing pieces that are easier to sing.

It was also used as the theme song for the drama “Seija no Koshin” (March of the Saints).

Needless to say, it’s a female vocal song, but it’s one of those that can still look good when sung by a male singer.

The vocal melody doesn’t span a very wide range, so even men who struggle with high notes should be able to sing it comfortably.

When men sing songs originally for female vocals, they often drop the key by an octave; conversely, if the low notes feel too tough, try adjusting the key up by about +2 to +3.
