So this time, we’ve picked out some classic ballad masterpieces.
Unlike in Japan, Western ballads feature a wide variety of melodies, so be sure to check them out.

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.

It’s the kind of song that gently stays by your side during tough times, so be sure to give it a listen.

Don’t Wanna Lose YouGloria Estefan
Gloria Estefan is a singer-songwriter born in Cuba and raised in the United States.
She’s also a popular artist in Japan.

“Don’t Wanna Lose You” is a ballad that showcases her charms.
Desde la AzoteaNiña Pastori
Niña Pastori, a popular artist from Spain.
While she thrives as a flamenco singer—a cantaora—she also enjoys success as a major artist.
