Cool and highly acclaimed Western music masterpieces and popular songs (131–140)
No Giving UpCrossfade
Crossfade is an American hard rock band, and this song is about never giving up no matter how tough and painful the times may be.
The vocals, which sound like a cry from deep within the heart, are awesome, and if you listen to it when you’re feeling down, it will surely give you courage.
Get LuckyDaft Punk ft. Pharrell Williams, Nile Rodgers
Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky,” which leads the cutting edge of dance music, has a chic, disco-inflected, upbeat rhythm.
I Don’t Think SoDinosaur Jr.
While another song might better represent Dinosaur Jr, I deliberately chose this one.
The music video features quirky characters, but the cool guitar sound and the mumbling vocals make this band uniquely compelling.
There are many cool rock acts from the ’90s, and Dinosaur Jr is one American band I’d love more young people to discover.
Boo’d UpElla Mai
If you’re looking for high-quality R&B, I highly recommend ‘Boo’d Up.’ It’s sung by Ella Mai, an artist from the UK.
She’s known for her distinctive musical style that doesn’t follow trends.
In ‘Boo’d Up’ as well, she draws heavily on the classic sounds of old-school R&B.
It truly embodies what great R&B should be.
This song was a massive hit between 2017 and 2018 and went on to win the Grammy Award for Best R&B Song.
Close To MeEllie Goulding, Diplo, Swae Lee
A powerhouse collaboration by singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding, DJ/producer Diplo, and rapper Swae Lee.
Its refreshingly crisp sound captivates the listener’s ears and heart.
The music video is stylish and eye-catching as well.
The lyrics express pure love, asking a partner to stay by their side—if you’re curious, be sure to check out the Japanese translation too.
AndromedaElodie
Elodie, a singer-songwriter from Italy.
Wouldn’t you say her appeal lies in that smoky low register and her refined musical sensibility? She blends acoustic sounds and classic genres with modern electronic music in just the right balance.
Her track Andromeda is a mix of R&B and house elements.
It’s insanely cool—highly recommended.
If you like reggaeton, you’ll probably enjoy it too.
Your SongElton John
When she’s feeling sad, even if you can’t play any instruments, sing Elton John’s Your Song for her a cappella.
This song has the power to make your eyes well up and wrap you in warm compassion, bringing comfort and peace.
To the comforted her, you will always be a cool hero.
