[2026] A roundup of Western songs with titles starting with B

Burial (from Mother Mary)NEW!Anne Hathaway

Burial (from Mother Mary)

Anne Hathaway is one of Hollywood’s most acclaimed actors.

From classic comedies to thrillers, she always moves audiences.

Among her songs, the one I recommend is this track.

It portrays the inner collapse of a fictional pop star, rendered as majestic, chilly synth-pop.

Released as a single in March 2026, it serves as an original song for the film Mother Mary, which will premiere in April 2026.

It’s a meticulously crafted piece also included on the album Mother Mary: Greatest Hits, so if you love electro, be sure to check it out.

Birds & the BeesNEW!Baby Keem

Baby Keem – Birds & the Bees (Official Video)

This track has been drawing attention as a work that brings a light, breezy vibe to a weighty theme.

It’s characterized by a pop sensibility that’s refreshingly free of quirks—in the best way.

With its humorous take on the push-and-pull of romance and keeping up appearances, many listeners are likely already familiar with it.

Released on the album “Ca$ino” in February 2026, it plays an early role in shifting the album’s overall atmosphere.

Despite its short runtime, the song makes masterful use of vocal modulation and a looping melody, making it stick in your head after just one listen.

Featuring Baby Keem’s playful flow, it’s perfect for lifting the mood and getting the energy up when you want to unwind.

BreakawayNEW!Donna Summer

Donna Summer – Breakaway (Official HD Music Video)

When it comes to late-1980s dance-pop, Donna Summer naturally tops the list.

The song I’m introducing today was produced by Stock Aitken Waterman and released in the U.S.

as a single in October 1989, included on the album Another Place and Time.

Peaking at No.

49 on the UK Singles Chart in January 1991, this track is notable for its strong forward momentum that feels like breaking free from oppression.

Guided by a mechanical bass line and a crisp, hard-edged snare, it blends pop and soul elements with an expansive, liberating melody—simply superb.

And her overwhelming vocal prowess needs no explanation.

If you’re looking to lift your spirits, I highly recommend giving this track a listen.

Blue BanistersNEW!Lana Del Rey

Lana Del Rey – Blue Banisters (Official Video)

This is a gem of a ballad, its tender piano tones stripped of grandiose ornamentation and paired with a gentle vocal that strikes the heart.

It portrays scenes of quietly mending everyday life while bearing the pain of parting and leaning on the support of friends.

The track was first released in May 2021 and later included on the album of the same name, released in October of that year.

It’s a pivotal song that distills Lana Del Rey’s true-to-life charm, one to be listened to alone, in quiet, on a night when you’re slowly trying to recover from the loss of love.

Be sure to check out the music video as well, which tenderly keeps company with a wounded heart.

BleedNEW!The Amity Affliction

The Amity Affliction “Bleed” (Official Music Video)

The Amity Affliction are Australian post-hardcore legends with a massive following in their home country.

Since forming in 2003, the band has continued to explore introspective themes through a striking contrast of screams and melody.

Their new track is here.

This work portrays anger toward selfish interpretations and a declaration of self-definition.

While it attacks with the band’s signature raw impulse and a weighty sound, its dramatic song structure makes it relatively approachable within the realm of heavy music.

They’re set to release their album “House of Cards” in April 2026, and this song was unveiled ahead of it in March of the same year.

If you’re a metal fan who feels suffocated by others’ gazes, give it a listen.

Don’t miss the enigmatic music video, too!
