Jennifer Lopez – Ain’t Your Mama (Official Video)

When you think of Jennifer Lopez, you might picture someone from a little while back.

But I think this song has a tempo that younger listeners can easily get into.

As the title suggests, the lyrics are about “don’t think of me as a mama,” and there are quite a few surprising moments in the music video.

Jessie J – Price Tag ft. B.o.B

A track with hip-hop elements and a laid-back groove.

This slow-tempo song can’t be sung on momentum, so it’s actually challenging in some ways.

However, since the rhythm is basically steady, once you can sing the first verse, you should be able to make it to the end with ease.

This song is one I came to know because Filipino sisters sang it on a TV show.

It’s performed by three people, and it’s super exciting and they’re great singers! It’s the kind of song that’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped when you play it.
