Billie Eilish’s new song “BIRDS OF A FEATHER.” Although Billie Eilish tends to favor darker tones, this track is wrapped in a refreshing melody.

That said, true to her style, the vocals keep the volume restrained throughout, so even singers who aren’t confident in their projection should have no trouble performing it.

There are basically no vocal embellishments, but a three-step melodic variation appears at the end of the chorus.

If that part is difficult, skip the embellishment and fade out following the original vocal line.

Haven’t been getting much sleep lately? If that’s you, why not try learning “Counting Stars,” a stylish, rock-tinged track by OneRepublic.

With its bit of a shouty edge, this song demands solid vocal skills, but it’s a great pick for those who love a challenge.

RoarKaty Perry64rank/position

This is an uplifting anthem by Katy Perry, where catchy, melodic tracks create a high level of polish that matches her distinctive character and musicality.

It’s a song you’ll want to sing at karaoke—glamorous yet approachable for women in their 30s, and perfect for powering up the crowd.

As expected, Ed Sheeran’s vocals are really cool.

Since the song starts straight off with the vocals, make sure you don’t stumble at the very beginning.

It’s a track that progresses with simple accompaniment, so if the vocals are weak, it might not really shine.

On the other hand, if you can sing with expressive dynamics like Ed Sheeran and bring out the flavor, I think it can become an outstanding song.
