【2026】Recommended for Summer! A Collection of Western Dance Music

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!

Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

If you’re looking to get hyped this summer with up-tempo dance tracks, or searching for the perfect BGM for midsummer drives and parties, this article is for you!

I liked this song from the very first time I heard it—it’s a really cool track.

It starts with a slightly heavy, laid-back groove, and the way it builds into the chorus is excellent.

You can also hear intricate, carefully crafted sounds throughout, showing real attention to detail.

A mid-tempo soul and neo-soul track said to be the biggest hit of 2014.

His falsetto voice has been compared by some critics to Curtis Mayfield.

It’s also famous for its visual presentation: the world’s first 24-hour music video.

The street-dance performances by many celebrities, including Kelly Osbourne and Jamie Foxx, also became a hot topic.

Here We Go AgainOliver Tree & David Guetta

Oliver Tree is an artist whose originality-packed musical style has earned him a large fan base.

If you use TikTok regularly, there may hardly be a day when you don’t hear one of his tracks.

His new song “Here We Go Again” continues his trademark, hard-hitting drops, but compared to his previous work, this one emphasizes house music elements more strongly.

It also features many phrases reminiscent of Eurobeat, which tends to appeal to Japanese listeners, making it a great recommendation for a summer party song.

Bad Bunny – WHERE SHE GOES (Video Oficial)

Where She GoesBad Bunny

Let me introduce a Latin-flavored hip-hop track, “Where She Goes.” It’s a release by Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, his first solo single of 2023.

The heavy bass beat feels great, making it perfect for times when you want to dance and get hyped.

On the other hand, the lyrics depict a man who, after a one-night romance, finds himself longing for the woman.

The contrast with these somewhat lonely lyrics is part of its charm.
