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!

A Cruel Angel's ThesisTakahashi Yoko

A signature song by Yoko Takahashi, noted for its heartfelt lyrics and sweeping melody.

Released in October 1995 as the opening theme for the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, it remains hugely popular more than 25 years later.

Centered on themes of youth, growth, and potential, the lyrics inspire courage and hope in listeners.

Beloved by many—topping JOYSOUND’s ranking of most-sung songs of the Heisei era—it also pairs perfectly with a powerful male vocal.

When singing it at karaoke, don’t get too caught up in technique; focus on delivering it with feeling.

Known as one of Chihiro Onitsuka’s signature songs, this track has garnered support as a work that resonates with people who carry loneliness and despair.

Released in March 2001, it was also used as the theme song for the TV drama TRICK, and its mysterious atmosphere combined with Onitsuka’s overwhelming vocal performance made it a major hit.

The vocal range is not particularly wide and the slow tempo makes it easy to sing, but for male singers, it’s recommended to adjust the key to a comfortable range.

LOVE PSYCHEDELICO is a rock duo that represents Japan, and they’re extremely popular in the rock scene.

They’ve produced many classic songs, but the one I especially recommend as easy for men to sing is Last Smile.

It features a musical style that blends folk rock and alternative rock, and it maintains a downbeat mood throughout.

Naturally, the vocal range stays on the lower side to match that atmosphere, making it very approachable for men who find high notes difficult.

If you’re concerned about English pronunciation, try focusing on liaison—linking the consonant at the end of one word to the vowel at the beginning of the next.

With its beautiful melody and profound lyrics, this song resonates deeply.

Exploring love, fragility, and the complexities of human relationships, the lyrics are sure to strike a chord with many.

Released in April 2024 and written as the theme song for TBS’s Sunday drama “Anti Hero,” this piece blends milet’s powerful vocals with delicate melodies to create an emotionally rich and dramatic track.

It conveys a wish to tear down the walls built for self-protection and to live as one’s true self.

The overall range is relatively narrow and doesn’t stay in the high register for long, making it easier for male singers as well.

Try singing it when you’re at a crossroads in life or when you want to reaffirm your feelings for someone important.

A powerhouse unit, EGO-WRAPPIN’.

They have a strong following among hardcore music fans and have produced numerous classics.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend to men is Neon Sign Stomp.

It features a dark, jazzy melody reminiscent of early Showa-era Japan, with a deeply cool, melancholic vibe throughout.

In the original, the chorus comes in with falsetto, but for male singers, singing it in chest voice works perfectly well.

She gained nationwide popularity after performing the theme song for the film Suzume.

If you only know her work from that time, you might think of her as a singer who delivers beautiful melodies with a clear, pretty voice—but the real her is different.

She has many exceptionally cool tracks, and among them, Discord-disco is one I especially recommend to male singers.

Wrapped in a neo-jazz flavor with a gothic atmosphere, this piece is particularly suited to men with a robust low register.

Incorporate whisper vocals effectively and try singing it with a dark, brooding tone.

GLIM SPANKY is a rock duo known for blues rock, psychedelic rock, and garage rock.

Many men may admire vocalist Remi Matsuo’s husky, weathered singing style.

Among their songs, Glitter Illusion is particularly easy to sing.

By using an edge voice—tightening the throat moderately—you can achieve that signature raspy tone like the original.

Since it’s a song that doesn’t require a clean, pristine delivery, it’s relatively easy for male singers to perform.
