Unlike in Japan, Western ballads feature a wide variety of melodies, so be sure to check them out.

Healing From the Heart: Recommended Western Ballads Sung by Female Vocalists (91–100)
Glue Songbeabadoobee
A heartfelt ballad by Filipino-British singer-songwriter beabadoobee.
The brilliant lyrics liken the joy of falling in love to glue, and the arrangement, interwoven with strings, creates a soothing atmosphere.
Released in February 2023, this is her first happy love song born from personal experience.
The music video, shot in her homeland of the Philippines, is a must-see.
It’s a perfect pick not only for those starting a new romance but also for anyone wanting to bask in a romantic mood.
Keep an eye on her future endeavors as she’s also slated to join Taylor Swift’s tour.
ghostinAriana Grande
Included on the album Thank U, Next.
It portrays the feelings of a woman who can’t forget her ex, and it’s said to have been sung with Ariana’s ex, Mac Miller, in mind.
She has someone important in her life right now, but her emotions are complicated.
It may be hard to relate to unless you’ve been through it, but for those who have had a similar experience, it will surely become a quiet source of comfort.
In PiecesChlöe
Chloe, a versatile R&B singer-songwriter who also works as an actress.
She’s also well known for her work as part of the duo Chloe x Halle with her sister, Halle Bailey.
In Pieces is a ballad from her, and while the album of the same name features many introspective, fragile lyrics, this track stands out even among them for its focus on looking inward and examining one’s confidence.
It’s the kind of song that gently stays by your side during tough times, so be sure to give it a listen.
Give Me Your LovePebbles
Among Pebbles’ songs, this is a hidden gem known only to those in the know, but I believe this track truly captures the essence of Pebbles.
The harmonies from the second chorus are especially memorable, and above all, the whispered “Give me your love” at the very end is incredibly sexy.
Lost On YouLP
Singer-songwriter LP, who earns strong support from women with her boyish style.
She’s well known as a lesbian, but she’s also widely admired by both men and women for being incredibly cool.
It’s not just her looks—her music is highly acclaimed as well.
Her signature song, “Lost On You,” became such a hit that artists around the world have covered it.
Rather than a classic ballad, it feels more like a slick, cool kind of ballad.
FALLCHLOE X HALLE
This is “Fall,” a ballad released in 2018 by the American sister R&B duo Chloe x Halle.
They began their career by posting cover songs on YouTube and made their major debut in 2016.
Their ballad “Fall” is a track whose clear, beautiful vocals and harmonies create a refreshing and ethereal impression.
If You Need MeJulia Michaels
This song, with its pleasant acoustic guitar performance, is a track released in September 2019 by singer-songwriter Julia Michaels.
It features an upbeat rhythm and light acoustic guitar tones layered with her powerful message.
The lyrics she delivers through her singing are incredibly encouraging, making it a classic that can empower everyone striving through their daily lives.
