Cool and famous Western songs that are popular on the streets (61–70)
Without MeHalsey
Halsey is a singer-songwriter from New Jersey who debuted in Billboard in 2015.
“Without Me” is a breakup song released on October 4, 2018.
Halsey broke up with rapper and model G-Eazy, whom she had been dating, in early July 2018, and it’s said that this song reflects her feelings from that time.
Her sweet vocals really touch the heart.
Feeling GoodNina Simone
The legendary American artist Nina Simone spent her later years based in France while performing around the world.
She’s even been called “the greatest singer America let slip away.” It’s often said that the American music scene is inferior to Europe’s; from the perspective of a genius like Nina Simone, perhaps the American scene felt immature.
Her song “Feeling Good” is one of her classics, and it’s been covered by artists such as Michael Bublé and Lauryn Hill.
It’s a work that blends coolness with a mature, smoky depth.
My SacrificeCreed
Creed’s My Sacrifice, which begins with quiet guitar arpeggios, delivers grand American rock.
Its dramatic, movie-like music video is another highlight.
Though not very well known in Japan, their albums have sold tens of millions of copies worldwide.
My Friends Over YouNew Found Glory
This is a track by New Found Glory that treats you to poppy, feel-good punk rock.
From the intro, it’s such an upbeat, high-energy song that you can’t help but want to jump, and the explosive chorus is irresistibly exhilarating and cool.
What I Like About You ft. Theresa RexJonas Blue
American singer Jonas Blue’s spring 2019 track “What I Like About You.” Centered around piano, it’s an emotional song that, together with its passionate love lyrics, delivers peak drama.
And her distinctly different vocal tone truly speaks to us.
CloserThe Chainsmokers
This song is by the American DJ duo The Chainsmokers and features the singer Halsey.
Many people have probably heard it in connection with the blockbuster film Suicide Squad.
It’s sung from the perspective of a man who reunites with his ex-girlfriend and says, “We haven’t changed at all.”
Virtual InsanityJamiroquai
I think many people know “Virtual Insanity.” In Japan, it became instantly famous after being used in a cup ramen commercial.
The song falls under the acid jazz genre, and if you like Tokyo Jihen or EGO-WRAPPIN’, it’ll be right up your alley.
Although it’s a track from the 1990s, it still sounds fresh today, with a cool melody that doesn’t feel dated at all.
By the way, the music video is also highly acclaimed and even won MTV’s Video of the Year award.
