Cool and highly acclaimed Western music masterpieces and popular songs (131–140)
365Zedd, Katy Perry
Zedd’s “365” featuring Katy Perry was released and the music video dropped on Valentine’s Day in 2019.
In the MV, Katy Perry is a robot.
It’s a love song about thinking of the other person day and night, and the video is beautifully made.
You can’t take your eyes off robot Katy, and the story’s development is amazing too.
ВодопадомГригорий Лепс
Grigory Leps is an artist from Russia.
While he’s not very well-known in Japan, he enjoys great popularity not only in Russia but also across Europe, especially in the Nordic countries.
His appeal, above all, lies in his “cool, rugged musical style,” don’t you think? He’s just incredibly rugged.
It’s so rugged you might think he’s stepped right out of The Godfather (lol).
His song “Водопадом” is a rock number that really highlights that rugged coolness.
What Do You Mean?Justin Bieber
It’s Justin Bieber’s 2015 smash hit produced by Skrillex.
The song brings back a hint of the younger, early-days Justin Bieber, yet it has a very cool, distinctive vibe.
We Don’t Talk AnymoreCharlie Puth
With an urbane, polished, and gentle melody that seems to flow with the regret of a breakup, “We Don’t Talk Anymore” sung by Charlie Puth and Selena Gomez captures the bittersweetness of youth.
If a couple currently in love is facing a crisis of breaking up, try listening to this song together.
It will surely soften your hearts and help you return to the good relationship you once had.
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.
