[2026] These Are the Western Songs to Listen to in February! Uplifting Classics (81–90)
Surface PressureJessica Darrow
Have you already seen the musical film “Encanto”? One of the songs featured in it is “Surface Pressure.” It’s sung in a scene where the protagonist’s sister, Luisa, feels immense pressure and is on the verge of being crushed by it.
A noteworthy point is that Jessica Darrow, who voices Luisa, fully inhabits the role and sings in a lower register than usual.
It’s also recommended as a motivational anthem for anyone who feels like they’re being overwhelmed by pressure.
February 3rdJorja Smith
As a song themed around the month of February, the track from Jorja Smith’s album Lost & Found really resonates with me.
Set to a sound that skillfully blends elements of R&B and soul, Smith’s emotive vocals evoke a wistfulness that feels like the end of winter.
Released in June 2018, the song was also featured in HBO’s comedy-drama Insecure, capturing the hearts of many listeners.
While it deals with the universal theme of lost and rediscovered love, the subtle shifts of feeling portrayed through the specific lens of February are particularly striking.
It’s a track I’d especially recommend to students preparing for advancement or graduation, and to anyone standing at a turning point in life.
YummyJustin Bieber
Justin Bieber is a globally popular idol.
He sings songs in various genres, but recently he’s been doing a lot more in styles close to hip-hop.
His track “Yummy” is also crafted as R&B that leans toward a hip-hop groove.
It features plenty of hi-hats, but it has relatively little trap feel.
Raising Hell (feat. Big Freedia)Ke$ha
Kesha is a singer known for her distinctive vocal tone and gritty singing style.
Compared to when she first debuted, her vocal ability has improved quite a bit.
Many of her songs are bright and poppy, and that brightness is alive and well in “Raising Hell (feat.
Big Freedia)” too.
It’s a song that seems like it would lift your spirits when you listen to it.
