The Weeknd is a Canadian singer-songwriter known for his musical style that adapts the synth-pop genre, which sparked a boom in the 1980s, into R&B.

Many of you may know him for “Blinding Lights,” released in 2019, which became a massive hit worldwide.

Among his works, a track I especially recommend is “Is There Someone Else?” Its cool, synthesizer-driven R&B sound is incredibly stylish—definitely give it a listen.

R&B, which was a trend in the 2000s, has evolved into a genre called slow jam and has been gaining popularity again.

One of the representative artists of slow jam is H.E.R.

All of her works exude a stylish vibe and are full of taste.

Among them, Damage is particularly sophisticated, featuring a cool track with sounds reminiscent of 1980s synth-pop.

One of the most talked-about rappers in today’s hip-hop scene, Lil Durk, commands immense props and previously made headlines for his intense beef with YoungBoy Never Broke Again.

Among Lil Durk’s works, a particularly cool track I highly recommend is “Broadway Girls” featuring Morgan Wallen.

Teaming up with country singer Morgan Wallen, the song brilliantly fuses the intensity of country with the sleek style of trap.

A trio from Las Vegas.

Their debut album sold over 1.7 million copies in the U.S.

and earned a platinum certification.

However, after various struggles, the project is now a solo endeavor.

In Japan, they became known through the hit “LA Devotee,” and their 2018 performance at Shin-Kiba Coast captivated many fans with a stunning vocal display.

This song is included on their sixth album, “Pray for the Wicked,” and it sings of strong resolve and ambition.

Once famous—both for better and worse—as an emo band, they have recently transformed into a more energetic, rhythm-driven act, and this track is guaranteed to lift your spirits.

It’s a must-hear showcase of the soaring vocals of Brendon, who’s now carrying the torch alone.
