Stylish Western music: Those catchy tunes you hear on the street (101–110)

I WishCarl Thomas

The striking melody of the piano solo in the intro adds a nice accent throughout the entire piece.

Carl Thomas’s gentle, soothing vocals would be perfect to listen to in a dimly lit room before bedtime, and I think it would put you in the best mood.

L’AmoureuseCarla Bruni

Carla Bruni is an Italian fashion model and singer-songwriter.

Though she is a celebrity—her husband is former French President Nicolas Sarkozy—her talent as a singer is genuine.

The music woven from her gentle voice and simple melodies captivates listeners without end.

Sophisticated LadyCHICAGO

When it comes to Chicago, it’s really frustrating that “Hard to Say I’m Sorry” is so famous that their other songs get buried.

I’m sure I’m not the only Chicago fan who wishes more of their stylish tracks would get the spotlight.

Game OverCool Uncle

The intro’s sound design is a bit lacking in thickness, but it fits the world of this track perfectly.

And it sounds like something you’ve heard somewhere before… Once the second chorus starts, it’ll make sense.

This is exactly the sound of a Bobby Caldwell piece, who’s part of this unit Cool Uncle.

For longtime fans, it’s a little moving.

Deja VuDionne Warwick

I think this is quite an unusual image for a Dionne track.

The sound design is pretty modern, but her signature Dionne style is still very much present.

As the title “Déjà Vu” suggests, it’s a slightly fantastical, floating kind of song.

A Night in New YorkElbow Bones & The Racketeers

Elbow Bones & The Racketeers – A Night in New York (1983) [Restored]
A Night in New YorkElbow Bones & The Racketeers

Just like the title suggests, it conjures up a stylish New York night scene.

It feels like big band jazz with a pop vibe—an incredibly versatile track.

It’s sure to be a perfect fit for a nighttime drive in the city.
