Rihanna – Only Girl (In The World)

A song by Stargate, the hit-making producers who incorporate Euro-pop.

Set against magnificent natural scenery, Rihanna’s powerful vocals make it perfect not only for summer drives but also for getting pumped up in the morning.

It feels like Rihanna’s appearance in the music video is getting flashier and flashier, too.

Shakira – Chantaje (Official Video) ft. Maluma

She started music when she was only eight years old.

Her first release was “Tus gafas oscuras,” and the message contained in its lyrics skillfully unfolds the inner emotions surrounding a father grieving the death of his son in a traffic accident.

While a student, she joined a choir, and her talent was such that she was even told her voice was too powerful.

The Black Eyed Peas – Where Is The Love? (Official Music Video)

Fergie, the sole woman, joined the all-male BEP.

Unlike the usual Will style, it’s a softer song.

It’s a signature track that appeals to where love and peace exist in the world.

The expressions of people of various races and generations that appear in the music video are indescribable.

Whenever I see a question mark, it reminds me of this song.
