Kelly Clarkson, whose powerful messages resonate across generations.

Released in April 2019, this track is early dance music with a strong tropical house influence.

It’s a grand ballad that fully showcases her signature vocal prowess.

While firmly grounded in her strengths, it’s also a pop ballad that fits perfectly with the current era!

Hanging By A MomentLifehouse

An early big hit by Lifehouse.

It delivers a grand, quintessentially American rock sound.

This song was played constantly on the radio and MTV, and it really stuck in my head.

The slightly raspy vocals are so cool, aren’t they?

What Makes You CountryLuke Bryan

This is a song released in 2017 by Luke Bryan, who is famous as a country singer.

It has a very cool sound, with a country-style guitar phrase ringing out from the intro.

The open, uplifting chorus makes you feel good just by listening, so give it a spin when you’re tired or feeling down.

If you play guitar, it might be fun to try covering it.

Mariah Carey’s stylish song “Without You,” overflowing with sadness and poignancy, is such a wonderful piece of music that once you hear it, it will never leave your heart.

The original “Without You” was released on record and sung by the British rock group Badfinger about 50 years ago, in November 1970.

Nothing Breaks Like a Heart (Dimitri From Paris Remix)Mark Ronson, Miley Cyrus

Nothing Breaks Like a Heart is a collaboration between music producer Mark Ronson—who skyrocketed to fame after his work with Bruno Mars—and singer Miley Cyrus.

This version is a remix of that track by DJ Dimitri From Paris.

Compared to the original, it leans even more into a disco vibe, and the retro use of reverb and other effects really catches the ear.
