Music of a wonderful world

Recommended Russian artists: Popular international singers and singer-songwriters

Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
With the motto “Learn the basics and enjoy putting them into practice,” I worked as a vocal coach specializing in Western music. As a teen, I questioned the idea that “Western music equals English,” and started listening to songs from around the world. Today, I devour music from over 80 countries and run a personal blog introducing tracks. I often listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. I’ll keep updating articles daily to find the one perfect song you’re looking for!

A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

Russia is a country that enjoys overwhelming support in classical and metal music.

In Japan, there isn’t much of a culture of listening to foreign music other than English and Korean, so many people may not be familiar with it, but the Russian music scene actually boasts world-class quality.

This time, I’ve picked out some artists and bands that are active in Russia.

I’ve selected songs from a wide range of genres, so please try finding a favorite artist.

Also, the war between Russia and Ukraine is ongoing.

Though the members are multinational, they’re primarily based in Russia, where rock music is thriving and they enjoy overwhelming popularity.

While many modern rock bands are known for blending various genres, their sound remains uncompromisingly straight deathcore with no wavering.

U CAN TAKE feat. LITTLE BIGTATARKA

TATARKA – U CAN TAKE (feat. LITTLE BIG)

U CAN TAKE feat. LITTLE BIGTATARKA

Tataruka is a female artist who has gained popularity in the genre of cloud rap, which mixes Southern rap and trap music.

While she belongs to the hip-hop genre, she has a strong singer-oriented style, making her approachable even for those who aren’t into hard-hitting hip-hop.

If you imagine a style similar to American pop star Kesha, it’s easier to understand her vibe.

Be sure to check her out.

НЕ ГРОЗИ СЕВЕРНОМУ КАВКАЗУАдлер Коцба

Adler Kotsba, who gives off the vibe of an earnest, wholesome young man, is a musician born in 1991 from the Karachay-Cherkess Republic.

He reportedly started rapping during his student days under the influence of the legendary rapper 50 Cent, and was already creating tracks at the time.

After serving in the military and returning to his studies to earn a degree, Adler began his full-fledged music career in 2013.

In 2018, he released his debut album, and its title track has racked up over 78 million views on YouTube.

His style—rapping sweet, romantic lyrics over catchy tracks—has made him especially popular among young women.

If you like the kind of classic, stylish hip-hop represented in Japan by AKLO, I recommend the Russian rapper Igor Krid.

Many people associate rappers with a rough image, but he’s different: he studied music seriously at a conservatory.

He didn’t graduate because he became successful as a rapper while still in school, but thanks to that background his compositions are highly sophisticated, and every release boasts an exceptional level of polish.

If you’re looking to listen to classic Russian pop music, Maxim is highly recommended.

Many people associate Russian pop with darker melodies.

While her music does incorporate some of those elements, it’s fundamentally rooted in bright, country-style sounds, making it very easy to listen to.

If you’re not a fan of the darker tones common in Russian pop, be sure to give her a try.
