Ballads are known for having many melodies and lyrics that really hit you in the heart.

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.
The first half features famous classics, but the second half includes lesser-known yet incredibly tasteful tracks.

Healing From the Heart: Recommended Western Ballads Sung by Female Vocalists (111–120)
Only TimeEnya
If we’re going to talk about Western ballads, Enya is someone we simply can’t leave out.
And when it comes to her signature songs, “Only Time” is the one.
It’s such a famous track that even people who aren’t familiar with Western music have probably heard the chorus.
Its ethereal sound, which evokes a sense of vast space, and its soothing melody truly resonate with the heart.
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.
The First Time Ever I Saw Your FaceRoberta Flack
Alongside Donny Hathaway, Roberta Flack was a female vocalist who helped define 1970s neo-soul.
She’s an artist who has left us with many classics, such as “Killing Me Softly” and “Feel Like Makin’ Love.” As a veteran artist, she has released a variety of ballads, and my recommendation this time is “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.” Its vibe is similar to Diana Krall’s, so it’s also a great pick for jazz fans.
Fall In Line (Official Video) ft. Demi LovatoChristina Aguilera
In “Fall In Line,” powerhouse vocalists Christina Aguilera and Demi Lovato team up for a striking collaboration.
The song addresses the pressures women face and exudes a strength that supports those who refuse to conform or yield to coercion.
The combination of their overwhelmingly powerful voices and the lyrics creates a track that gives you the courage to live true to yourself.
Seeing the two of them perform, they embody what it means to be strong, cool women.
2 Become 1Spice Girls
Released in 1996, it became popular as the Spice Girls’ first ballad.
The world was captivated by the five beautiful and stylish women at the time of their debut.
With the release of this ballad as the third single from their debut album, many fans were enchanted by their beautiful harmonies, and it debuted at No.
1 in the UK.
It’s a profound love ballad that sings about the powerful force created when a man and a woman become one.
