This is a standout song by Natalie Imbruglia, noted for its excellent lyrics that portray the emotions of a woman facing heartbreak and a crossroads in life.

The poignant feeling of “being betrayed by the one you love and losing yourself” is woven into beautiful words.

Ariana Grande – we can’t be friends (wait for your love) (official music video)

Ariana Grande is a female singer-songwriter who’s always at the forefront of the scene.

Early on, she set herself apart with her high tones, including her whistle register, but lately her downbeat, realistic lyrics have been especially striking.

Among her songs, the one I particularly recommend is “we can’t be friends.” While it’s on the slightly higher side, it doesn’t have an extremely wide vocal range, so you should be able to sing it smoothly if you adjust the key.

It’s a synthwave-style track that doesn’t place heavy emphasis on advanced vocal techniques like runs or hiccups, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
