Without MeHalsey

Halsey is a singer-songwriter from New Jersey who debuted in Billboard in 2015.

“Without Me” is a breakup song released on October 4, 2018.

Halsey broke up with rapper and model G-Eazy, whom she had been dating, in early July 2018, and it’s said that this song reflects her feelings from that time.

Her sweet vocals really touch the heart.

From the delay-soaked intro guitar, it’s already so cool! The lyrics and music video overflowing with hippie vibes are awesome! Was the filming location the West Coast? The vast, endless wilderness matches the song’s atmosphere perfectly.

Khalid is an alternative soul singer who delivers hits rooted in R&B.

His versatility, winning new fans across different styles, is drawing attention.

I Want You BackThe Jackson 5

The ultimate pop-funk number! It’s so happy, pop, and cute that it feels like nothing before or after has ever topped it.

It’s a signature song of the Jackson 5, the group Michael Jackson was part of, and a track where his vocals truly shine.

Feeling GoodNina Simone

The legendary American artist Nina Simone spent her later years based in France while performing around the world.

She’s even been called “the greatest singer America let slip away.” It’s often said that the American music scene is inferior to Europe’s; from the perspective of a genius like Nina Simone, perhaps the American scene felt immature.

Her song “Feeling Good” is one of her classics, and it’s been covered by artists such as Michael Bublé and Lauryn Hill.

It’s a work that blends coolness with a mature, smoky depth.

Girl Like YouJason Aldean

This is a song released by country singer Jason Aldean in 2018.

With guitar phrases that capture the essence of country, the track really grabs your ear, and the chorus is incredibly cool.

The drum parts give it an electronic music flavor, resulting in a more modern sound.

Lately, more and more country music has been incorporating these kinds of electronic elements.

Midnight SkyMiley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus, who rose to fame on the popular Disney Channel series Hannah Montana, now thrives as an artist with highly sensual performances—quite different from her once wholesome image.

Among her works, one of the coolest is Midnight Sky.

It’s a distinctive piece that blends a nostalgic track evoking 1980s synth-pop—very much in line with current trends—with a modern vocal to create something unique.

If you’re looking for a cool hip-hop track, I recommend “Runnin.” It’s a classic by 21 Savage—one of Atlanta’s leading rappers—and Metro Boomin, a producer hugely respected by rappers.

The song stands out for its distinctive sampling and unique flow.

Unlike run-of-the-mill trap, the flow has a playful touch, so even fans of old-school hip-hop should enjoy it.
