Stylish Western music: Those catchy songs you hear on the street (11–20)

Showcasing a powerful, fierce, and sexy flow that makes those fat 808 kicks pop, Megan Thee Stallion is a female rapper whose popularity has skyrocketed in recent years.

She also has the unique background of being both a rapper and a student majoring in medicine—an intelligent B-girl.

She’s a standout female MC making waves in a still male-dominated hip-hop scene.

I picked this track because the minimal backtrack gives it a stylish vibe.

PartyNextDoor, a multi-talented singer-songwriter and producer from Ontario, Canada, is also known as the first artist signed to OVO SOUND, the label founded around Drake.

Released in March 2020, this track has been generating huge buzz for featuring Rihanna, who had been away from the music scene for a while.

Over a subdued track, the song explores trust between a man and a woman.

The hook where Rihanna sings “make me believe” is especially striking—many men might find it all too relatable.

I’m ReadySam Smith, Demi Lovato

This is a powerful, soulful track that offers a glimpse into a new frontier for Sam Smith.

With bass music at its core, the kick’s low-end has a pleasing resonance that many listeners will love.

Sam Smith identifies as non-binary, a gender identity between male and female, and this work—through which they express themselves more honestly—has earned global acclaim.

Featuring Demi Lovato, who enjoys immense popularity among American teens, the song also feels like it conveys the importance of diversity to the next generation.

The music video, recorded remotely while strictly observing social distancing, is striking.

I think more works with this kind of atmosphere will appear in the future.

As pioneers of the movement, it feels like their performance sparked the popularity of relay-style music.

Especially in times like these, it has a bright and positive vibe that encourages music fans! Twenty One Pilots is an American rock band consisting of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun.

In 2011, they shocked the United States by becoming the first local band to sell out a 1,700-capacity venue, drawing significant attention from the music industry.

Inspired by Justin Timberlake’s light-footed dance moves and smooth vocals, and discovered for his talent at Top Dawg Entertainment—home to artists like Kendrick Lamar, ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, and Isaiah Rashad—he set his sights on becoming an R&B artist.

His interplay with SZA is exquisite, too.

It’s funky, spacey, modern pop with a disco flair: an urbane, sophisticated sound that’s catchy, stylish, and perfect for a smooth groove.
