[For Men] Easy-to-sing Western songs: Tips for singing them at karaoke (21–30)

Everything is BeautifulRay Stevens

Ray Stevens is an indispensable figure when talking about country music.

His signature song is “Everything is Beautiful.” As the title suggests, it’s a song that celebrates the wonders of the world.

Because of that, it fits all kinds of occasions—celebrations, dates, and more.

The melody and vocals follow classic country music style, so it’s a great pick for those who aren’t comfortable with fast tempos or high notes.

It’s perfect to sing solo, and it also works wonderfully when you want to sing with a group.

Die For YouJoji

George, an artist from Japan who shares his music with the world, works on Western-style songs but is still Japanese, so many people feel a sense of familiarity with him.

One of his tracks, released in 2022, is “Die For You.” It’s a ballad that depicts the sorrow of heartbreak, featuring very heavy and sad lyrics.

The standout feature is the chorus with high notes and vibrato.

Try focusing your practice on that part.

Using a slightly raspy tone when you sing is also a helpful tip.

Ed Sheeran, the British singer-songwriter.

This song, which evokes folk-inspired music you might feel you’ve heard somewhere from the very intro, was crafted by Ed himself.

Amid its gentle sound, it conveys a straightforward love for a single woman.

It’s slow-tempo, so I think it’s easy to sing!

Musician Alex Warren, who enjoys overwhelming support from Gen Z, is one of the most successful artists on social media and continues to drop many hit tunes.

Among his works, the one I especially recommend is Carry You Home.

It’s a fast-paced track, but the vocal range is narrow and it doesn’t require advanced techniques like “fake,” similar to the kobushi ornamentation in enka.

If you focus on adding vocal thickness in the chorus, it will sound even better—so definitely give it a listen.

Singer-songwriter Mark Amber is active mainly in New York.

He rose to popularity on TikTok during the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to be beloved by younger audiences to this day.

Among his songs, the one I especially recommend is Belong Together.

Although it was released in February 2024, it became a long-running hit that remained near the top of the charts even into the second half of 2024.

The track features a gentle, country-style arrangement and a vocal line with little fluctuation.

There are no particularly difficult vocal techniques involved, and it doesn’t require much in the way of fundamentals like sustained notes or vibrato, making it a very easy song to sing.
