Famous Piano Classics in Western Music: Recommended Popular Songs (21–30)
Million ReasonsLady Gaga
When people think of Lady Gaga, many might picture a singer who performs electronic pop in flamboyant outfits.
This song, however, seems to sweep away that image entirely.
With a focus on live instruments and vocals that truly carry the track, it’s a very simple and soulful piece compared to her previous works.
Included on the album Joanne.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
I See YouMIKA
Included on the second album, The Boy Who Knew Too Much.
MIKA’s distinctive falsetto and an orchestral sound led by piano roll in waves.
While it’s grounded in what you might call a classic pop ballad, it’s a curious track that, if you keep it on repeat, makes you feel as if you’ve been thrown into the surging swells of a rough sea.
