"Puts you in a bright mood" Refresh! Cheerful Western Music (31–40)
PowerEllie Goulding
A 2020 track by songstress Ellie Goulding.
Brightest Blue, which includes Power, is her first album in four years.
The synth-based, flowing melodies feel so comfortable—somehow it makes you want to listen at dusk or dawn.
The music video, reportedly filmed at Ellie Goulding’s home, strikes a stylish balance between the intimacy unique to a home setting and artistic visuals.
While the lyrics themselves sing about the complexities of modern relationships, when you don’t want to be swept along, you’ll surely draw “power” from its driving rhythm!
RitualTiësto, Jonas Blue, Rita Ora
It’s an EDM track by Dutch DJ Tiësto, British songwriter Jonas Blue, and singer-actress Rita Ora.
It was released digitally in 2019.
With a tempo that’s neither too fast nor too slow and a catchy four-on-the-floor beat, it delivers a pleasing, pulsating groove.
The lyrics express an overflowing love for someone special.
Solar PowerLorde
It’s the lead track from Lorde’s third album, Solar Power, which transforms a pleasant sense of liberation and the sun’s energy into sound.
Released in June 2021.
Marking a departure from her previously electro-centric style, it features a breezy indie-folk sound with organic instrumentation like acoustic guitar, trumpet, and saxophone.
The lyrics, set on a beach, depict the joy of freeing oneself under the sun—away from everyday stress and the digital world—making it perfect for a clear, sunny day.
The cool harmonies featuring Phoebe Bridgers and Clairo are lovely, too.
The music video, nominated for Best Cinematography at the MTV VMAs, pairs white sandy beaches with blue skies for an expansive feel that makes you want to head to the seaside just by listening.
Shut Up And DanceWalk the Moon
Walk The Moon is an American pop rock band, and this catchy song became a massive hit around the world.
It’s said that the song was inspired by vocalist Nicholas being invited to dance by his girlfriend at a nightclub in Los Angeles, and it sings about letting go of anxiety and frustration and simply enjoying the moment.
HeavenAvicii
The upbeat sound and lively rhythm so characteristic of Avicii really get you hyped, don’t they? This track is a collaboration between him—the world-renowned music producer who passed away in 2018—and Chris Martin, the lead vocalist of the global band Coldplay.
Production on the song originally began around 2014, and it’s said that a final version was completed by 2016, but it was left untouched after that.
