Famous piano masterpieces in Western music: Recommended popular tracks (31–40)

I See YouMIKA

MIKA – I See You (CD Version)
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.

Best Thing I Never HadBeyoncé

A single released in 2011.

It achieved very high sales, earning numerous Platinum and Gold certifications in major countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia.

With its bright, refreshing piano melody, it’s a song that lifts your spirits and fills you with positivity.

Highly recommended.

ListenBeyoncé

Beyonce – Listen [Official Video]
ListenBeyoncé

This is a song used in the movie Dreamgirls, passionately performed by Beyoncé herself in the film.

The piece begins with both piano accompaniment and vocals, showcasing Beyoncé’s powerful voice to the fullest.

I think it could also serve as good practice for boosting vocal projection.

Wait For YouElliott Yamin

Western music Japanese translation: Elliott Yamin – Wait for You
Wait For YouElliott Yamin

A song included on Elliott Yamin’s self-titled album, Elliott Yamin.

Released on March 13, 2007.

It tells the feelings of a man who says to the one who has left, “All I can do is wait,” and while it’s heartrending, you can also feel powerful vocals within it.

Guardati Dal Mese Vicino All’Aprile!, released in 1978 by AREA, Italy’s astonishing avant-garde jazz-rock band, is a marvel.

The dazzling, jazz-inflected piano playing showcases virtuoso technique, and the vocals by Demetrio Stratos—often called a “human world heritage”—are tremendous.

If you love rock, this is a band you absolutely must listen to, regardless of genre.
