Rihanna – Work (Explicit) ft. Drake

Rihanna is an artist from Barbados who is primarily active in the United States.

She’s one of the pop world’s top hit-makers, and her somewhat delicate yet undeniably cool sound is hugely popular with women.

This song, too, has a mature, cool vibe and is finished in a sleek, stylish way.

Rihanna – Umbrella (Orange Version) (Official Music Video) ft. JAŸ-Z

A love song by the diva Rihanna.

It feels like a piece that reveals the true feelings of a top star, with the message, “Even if I become famous, my love for you won’t change.” There are no high notes, so it seems like a song you can sing stylishly over a light, upbeat melody.

MAGIC! – Rude (Official Video)

This is a track with a wonderfully laid-back reggae vibe.

Especially on your days off, listening to it might help remove everyday stress.

It also works great as background music—neither too dark nor too bright, just right.

Its relaxed feel is what makes it incredibly appealing.

Sam Smith – I’m Not The Only One (Official Music Video)

It’s a heartbreakingly sad song, through and through.

If you’re an adult woman, you’ve probably experienced something like this at least once.

Just watching the music video is enough to make you feel down, and Sam’s sweet, velvety vocals and melancholic lyrics bring even more tears.
