Released in 1988, this song became a big hit and was created entirely using the artist’s own voice, multi-tracked to produce the rhythm, bass, and everything else.

It’s a monotonous, continuous track with a laid-back vibe, but it builds lightly and gently with a brisk feel, making it easy to sing at any moment.

Now, onto the main topic.

I mentioned at the beginning that there’s a certain genre that’s super easy to sing, right? A perfect example of that genre is “September.” This song is what you’d call disco sound.

On top of the disco vibe, it also has elements of funk.

And this genre is really easy to sing.

That’s because funk and disco music often use a vocal style with a bouncy, staccato rhythm.

This “staccato” is something you can pull off even without advanced technique.

In other words, even if you’re not great at singing, you can cover it up quite well.

It’s a genuinely easy genre to sing, so definitely give it a try!

This track is sung to an ex, expressing the feeling of having completely moved on from a past relationship.

Clinging is off-putting, but being pushed away with absolutely no lingering attachment can still feel heartbreaking, right? With a sparse arrangement, the lyrics convey a bold, confident attitude.

It would be pretty cool to be able to sing this one.

This song is notable for the shouted chorus, but singing it as-is makes it quite challenging.

If you watch the artist’s live performances, you’ll notice they arrange it using falsetto.

Keep that in mind for karaoke so you can conserve your voice.
