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.

When it comes to birthdays in your twenties, isn’t it common that what sets them apart from your teenage years is having a driver’s license and living independently away from your parents? Jonas Blue, a DJ from London, has turned Tracy Chapman’s classic into a breezy EDM track.

How about going for a drive and soaking in a slightly nostalgic mood?
