Ó gente da minha terraMariza
Mariza, the queen of fado.
She’s a genius artist who represents Portugal.
Above all, her standout trait is her extraordinary expressiveness.
Fado is a genre that places great importance on conveying emotion.
As its queen, her skill is, frankly, on a whole other level.
The piece “Ó gente da minha terra” features piano accompaniment.
The piano doesn’t dominate, but the composition is superb, resulting in a melody that brings out the best of both the vocals and the instrumentation.
ClocksColdplay
It’s a rock track where you can savor a striking piano phrase and vocals, featuring Chris Martin’s cool voice.
The grand-piano-style sound source, rich with harmonics, is given a luxurious finish using a unique piece of gear called shimmer reverb, which modulates pitch to forcibly create harmonies.
The PianoMichael Nyman
The main theme from the film The Piano (Japanese title).
The score is by British composer Michael Nyman.
The film itself won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival and the Academy Award for Best Actress, and the soundtrack featuring this piece became a huge hit, selling 3 million copies worldwide.
BeautifulChristina Aguilera
Released in 2002, Christina Aguilera won the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance with this song.
Her voice truly has a commanding presence, and it always carries strong conviction whenever you listen.
It’s a massive hit ballad that lets you fully savor her vocal prowess.
These Days feat. Jess Glynne, Macklemore & Dan CaplenRudimental
In terms of genre, it falls under EDM.
However, the sounds used are from legendary instruments that have paved the way in music history—like the Hammond organ, Fender Rhodes, and horns.
No wonder it sounds so good, right?
Let It BeThe Beatles
Released in March 1970 as their 22nd and final single, it is one of the most popular songs in the Beatles’ catalog.
It came out when the band was on the verge of breaking up.
Paul McCartney composed it during a period of deep reflection.
The phrase “let it be” resonates in the heart.
How Long BluesPinetop Perkins
A veteran blues pianist who joined as Otis Spann’s successor in the Muddy Waters band.
He debuted in the 1930s and spent many years at the forefront as both a session man and a solo artist, astonishingly releasing a new work in 2009 at the age of 95.
He passed away at 97.
