Chase RiceEyes On You
Eyes On You, released in November 2017 by American singer-songwriter Chase Rice.
This love song tells the story of a protagonist from Carolina in the United States who nostalgically recalls the days spent with his lover in his hometown, gazing back toward home from where he is now in Paris.
It’s a slightly bittersweet song that conveys a strong, heartfelt emotion.
His smooth, sweet vocals are another highlight!
Worth ItFifth Harmony
Fifth Harmony is a five-member American girl group from the audition show The X Factor, and in this song they collaborate with the rapper Kid Ink.
Marking a shift from their previously cute teen-pop style to a more mature and sexy direction, the song also carries a message to young women to believe in their own worth.
MykonosFleet Foxes
Here’s a track from the American four-piece band Fleet Foxes.
Its grand, beautiful, soaring sound sinks deeper into your heart the more you listen.
Their distinctive music, weaving in elements of folk and country—the very essence of their appeal—has a unique and striking coolness all its own.
Crave You (feat. Giselle)Flight Facilities
This is “Crave You,” a breakout smash hit from the Australian electro duo Flight Facilities.
Their music, which incorporates elements of hip-hop, techno, house, and more, shows impeccable taste.
Talk You Out Of ItFlorida Georgia Line
A song released in 2018 by the popular country duo Florida Georgia Line.
Its country-style lyrics about pure love became popular and have been embraced by music fans.
You can also feel influences from electronic music here and there, clearly showing their stance of evolving while carrying on the spirit of traditional country.
Above all, the melody is straightforward, so I think it’s easy on Japanese listeners’ ears.
The PretenderFoo Fighters
This is a song where former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl handles guitar and vocals and also composed it.
It’s powerful and hard, yet the melody is catchy and cool.
I think it’s a track that offers a glimpse of his remarkable talent.
Ugly HeartG.R.L.
G.R.L.
was originally a five-member girl group.
This song is a pop track characterized by its guitar sound, sung from the perspective of a girl who realizes that her boyfriend—who initially seemed attractive and charming—actually has an ugly personality.
She sings, “You may have a handsome face, but you have an ugly heart.” With the group’s reformation in August 2016 and the addition of a new member, their future activities are something to watch.
