A collection of Western songs with titles starting with “J”

When it comes to songs with titles that start with “J,” do any come to mind?

We don’t usually pay much attention to the first letter of a song title, so it might be hard to think of one right away.

That said, there are plenty of English words that start with “J,” like “Joy,” “Just,” “Jet,” and “Jesus.”

In this article, I’ll introduce many songs with titles that begin with “J,” regardless of era or genre.

By exploring music from a perspective you may not have tried before, you might discover some new tracks.

Juro QueRosalia

ROSALÍA – Juro Que (Official Video)
Juro QueRosalia

Rosalía is an artist who enjoys strong support from all over the world.

Her musical style is highly distinctive: she sings a unique form of nuevo flamenco that blends flamenco with electronic sounds.

Because her music is unlike anything else, many listeners are likely to be struck by it.

Her songs convey a deep respect for flamenco, and she sometimes performs as a cantaora as well.

Her voice is on the higher, lighter side, so she may not be the type of cantaora who captivates purely through vocal power, but she makes up for it with an emotionally expressive singing style.

June AfternoonRoxette

Roxette – June Afternoon (Official Video)

This is a song by the Swedish band Roxette about the month of June.

It has a bright vibe that really packs in the charm of Swedish pop.

It feels like it could blow away the damp, muggy air of the rainy season! The back-and-forth between vocalist Marie Fredriksson and guitarist-vocalist Per Gessle is a lot of fun, and the guitar melodies are absolutely fantastic.

It’s perfect for an afternoon outing in June! It’s included on their 1995 release, “Don’t Bore Us, Get to the Chorus!”

joy!!SMAP

This song, released in 2013, is SMAP’s memorable 50th single.

Despite being a bright dance tune, the choreography is easy to learn, so many people perform it as entertainment in various settings.

There are plenty of videos on YouTube showing this, so feel free to check them out for reference.

JingoSantana

Santana – Jingo (Audio)
JingoSantana

An early masterpiece by Santana, the artist who helped establish the Latin rock genre.

His performance at the legendary Woodstock festival, shredding on a Gibson SG, is truly unforgettable.

In the latter part of his career, he also became well known for collaborative numbers with many artists.

JackieScott Walker

Jacques Brel, a singer who represents Belgium.

One of the works in which he focused on the darker side of society is “Jackie.” Its sound is brisk and powerful, like a marching tune.

However, the lyrics are packed with words that would be banned from broadcast.

That contrast is part of its appeal.

Still, it’s not merely a string of shocking terms; it carries a message that speaks to the sorrow of conflict.

Be sure to consider the historical context of the era in which it was released.

Jack The RipperScreaming Lord Sutch

Screaming Lord Sutch – Jack The Ripper (live 1964)

Debuting in the UK in 1961, they are a singer who delivered garage rock sounds that continued to captivate audiences worldwide.

Their singing style is truly distinctive, and they remain popular today as a cult figure.

Perhaps because they were also active as a politician, their later music struck me as having a strong message.

JoyShakti

John McLaughlin & Shakti “Joy” (Live Montreux 1976)

For those who want to hear a more unique fusion, Shakti is also highly recommended.

The band consists of guitarist John McLaughlin, violinist L.

Shankar, and percussionists Zakir Hussain and T.H.

Vinayakram.

It’s made up of an international lineup, and their tracks have a distinctly exotic atmosphere.

The music strongly incorporates elements of both North and South Indian traditions.
