Classic Western songs to listen to in July: Summer classics and popular tracks (21–30)
Let Me Blow Ya MindEve ft. Gwen Stefani
“Let Me Blow Ya Mind” is a song by American rapper Eve featuring American singer Gwen Stefani.
It won a Grammy Award in 2002.
The music video, which features producer Dr.
Dre at the end, showcases fashion that is both sexy and cool.
Boo’d UpElla Mai
A breakthrough track for UK-born R&B singer Ella Mai.
With a 90s-flavored retro feel and a subtly smoky, world-weary vocal style despite her youth, it became a hot topic on radio and across social media—marking the rise of a new R&B star.
Her laid-back vocals are perfect for creating a cool, moody vibe on summer nights.
Break My HeartDua Lipa
Dua Lipa is a singer-songwriter who enjoys worldwide popularity for her husky low voice and catchy musical style.
She’s a UK-born artist and one of the biggest hit-makers right now.
Her song “Break My Heart” is one of her hits and gained popularity for its distinctive sound.
Although it was released in March 2020, it has a funky vibe that’s perfect for summer.
It’s a relatively calm yet groovy track, making it a great recommendation for driving music and more!
Summer Girl (Bonus Track)Haim
HAIM, an American pop rock band.
While EDM is largely mainstream in the United States, this band is not to be overlooked.
The vocals riding over a steady, almost mechanical beat, and the string phrases that appear—this is an ensemble unlike anything I’ve heard before.
The vocals, which carry a certain refined elegance, are especially wonderful, and the allure lies in a worldview that feels insufficient—and hard to fully grasp—after just one listen.
It’s a perfectly balanced, distinctive aesthetic that makes you wonder where it came from.
I hope you enjoy it too.
Never Really OverKaty Perry
This is a single released in 2019 by Katy Perry, a female singer-songwriter who represents contemporary America.
The dynamic synth tones make for a pleasing sound that may ring a bell for some listeners—unsurprising, as the track was produced by the hit-making producer Zedd.
It’s a fresh electropop tune perfectly suited as background music for the arrival of the hot summer.
However, one of the song’s charms is that, in contrast to its sound, the lyrics tackle a serious theme.
