Shakedown – At night [Original HQ]

Known as a brother duo from Switzerland, Shakedown specialize in a sound that fuses disco and house.

What truly put their name on the global map, however, is the groove-house anthem introduced here.

The real allure of this track lies in its irresistibly smooth groove that makes your body move almost on its own.

A driving bassline, filtered synths, and soulful vocals vividly evoke the liberating spirit of the night.

You can feel the unfiltered rush of breaking free from the everyday and losing yourself in the music.

Following their 2001 album “You Think You Know,” this track topped the UK Dance Chart in May 2002 and led to an appearance on the BBC program “Top of the Pops.” If you’re tired of cookie-cutter dance music, surrender yourself to this groove.

Let me introduce a grand pop-rock ballad that paints an unforgettable love like a full-length film.

Its sheer length topping the Billboard singles chart became a major talking point.

The lyrics, which weave together vividly resurrected scenes of love and the piercing subtleties of raw emotion, are nothing short of breathtaking.

Taylor herself also directed a short film, allowing you to delve even deeper into the song’s world.

Taylor Swift – Anti-Hero (Official Music Video)

Taylor Swift, who has seamlessly crossed genres from country to pop and folk while remaining at the forefront of the music scene, sparked major buzz with the lead single from her acclaimed October 2022 release, Midnights, thanks to its introspective lyrics.

As she herself has said, the song explores “the parts of myself I dislike,” voicing feelings like self-loathing and anxiety—emotions anyone might harbor—in strikingly direct terms.

Yet the sound is catchy synth-pop, and the contrast with its propulsive melody is simply brilliant.

This candid confession captured listeners’ hearts worldwide, keeping the song at No.

1 on the U.S.

charts for eight consecutive weeks.

On nights when you’re feeling unsure of yourself, listening to it can bring a gentle warmth that feels like a reassuring push forward.

Taylor Swift – august (Official Lyric Video)

Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift continues to captivate fans with her diverse musicality.

Her masterpiece Folklore, released in July 2020, drew major attention as a work that weaves stories of fictional characters.

Among its tracks, this one, which seems to bottle the atmosphere of late summer, overflows with bittersweet allure.

Told from the perspective of a woman who gave everything to a fleeting summer romance with a boy, only to end up unrewarded, it conveys her pure feelings—knowing she wasn’t the one he truly wanted, yet betting everything on the moment—set against a dreamy, reverb-drenched soundscape.

Her brilliant performance of the song at the Grammys in March 2021 is also a must-see.

It’s the perfect song for when you want to sink into a slightly sentimental mood at summer’s end.

Thrice – “Albatross”

Slice is a band that has continually pursued a unique musical identity rooted in post-hardcore.

Active with an unchanging lineup since their formation in 1998, their sound enjoys enduring popularity here in Japan.

The piece they’ve released ahead of their October 2025 album, “Horizons/West,” is this work.

Centered on the theme of human karma—destroying one’s own symbol of good fortune and thus becoming burdened with a curse—and the subsequent process of rebirth, it presents a bleak yet beautiful worldview.

Its cinematic post-rock textures dramatize both the weight of fateful bonds and the hope that persists despite it all.

Highly recommended for those who want to sink deeply into a contemplative listening experience.
