Bruno Mars – 24K Magic (Official Music Video)

The sparkling, glamorous vibe is truly captivating! This is the lead single from Bruno Mars’s third album, 24K Magic, released in November 2016.

Skillfully blending ’80s synth-funk with ’90s swingbeat grooves, the track bursts with a party-ready energy that evokes the dance floor.

Apparently, the groove came together after a fun session in the studio.

It’s a song that fully showcases Bruno’s playful spirit and musicality, making it perfect for karaoke or event BGM.

It’s sure to add extra sparkle to lively gatherings of teens and people in their twenties.

Olivia Rodrigo – drivers license (Official Video)

Olivia Rodrigo is a female singer-songwriter who has gained popularity for her wide-ranging musicality.

Even those who aren’t very familiar with Western music have probably heard her songs or her voice at least once.

Her renowned track “drivers license,” released in 2021, became popular for its emotional vocals.

While it features a lot of falsetto and requires delicate pitch control, it doesn’t incorporate much of the advanced technique known as ‘fakes’ (improvisational runs).

So as long as you can accurately follow the pitch, it’s not an especially difficult song to perform.
