Cool and acclaimed Western music masterpieces and popular songs in the streets (211–220)
Cleanse The BloodlinesUNLEASH THE ARCHERS
If you’re looking for high-quality female-fronted metal, I highly recommend UNLEASH THE ARCHERS.
They’re often compared to various genres—heavy metal, power metal, even melodic death metal—but they themselves say they’re not interested in labels and are “simply playing metal.” Their track Cleanse The Bloodlines is one of their coolest songs.
The middle-register vocals will give you goosebumps!
Risk It AllUSHER, H.E.R.
Usher, an R&B singer from the United States, rose to great prominence from the 2000s through the 2010s and has released numerous classic tracks.
His latest work was written for the film The Color Purple.
It’s a soul-stirring piano ballad in duet with H.E.R., exploring what it means to risk everything for love.
The song is also slated to be included on the album COMING HOME, scheduled for release in February 2024.
It’s a track that fully showcases the prowess of Usher, an eight-time Grammy Award winner.
Buddy HollyWeezer
I’m not sure if it looks cool, but there’s no doubt it’s a masterpiece: Weezer’s “Buddy Holly.” It really feels like the origin of power pop and emo rock.
With a heavy guitar sound layered over a pop melody, it’s the perfect band for anyone who loves both hard rock and pop.
I Will Always Love youWhitney Houston
If I had to name the No.1 song that sounds coolest, it would be “I Will Always Love You.” It was sung with Whitney Houston’s beautiful voice and remarkable expressiveness.
Used as the theme song for the 1992 film “The Bodyguard,” it became an unprecedented worldwide hit.
It’s A WrapZara Larsson
Zara Larsson is a rapidly rising singer-songwriter from Sweden.
This upbeat song captures the feelings of a girl who’s determined to firmly say goodbye to an ex who keeps coming back, and you’ll find yourself drawn in by Zara’s powerful vocals that convey her strong will.
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.
