Classic Western songs to listen to in July: Summer classics and popular tracks (21–30)
Po’ FolksNappy Roots w/Anthony Hamilton
A track by the Kentucky rap group Nappy Roots featuring R&B singer-songwriter Anthony Hamilton.
It was released as a single in 2002.
The song earned them their third Grammy nomination.
Here We Go AgainOliver Tree & David Guetta
Oliver Tree is an artist whose originality-packed musical style has earned him a large fan base.
If you use TikTok regularly, there may hardly be a day when you don’t hear one of his tracks.
His new song “Here We Go Again” continues his trademark, hard-hitting drops, but compared to his previous work, this one emphasizes house music elements more strongly.
It also features many phrases reminiscent of Eurobeat, which tends to appeal to Japanese listeners, making it a great recommendation for a summer party song.
Harvest MoonPoolside
A track with an impressive bassline and synth tones that conjure shimmering West Coast sunlight—purely pleasant listening.
As some of you may have guessed from the title, it’s a cover of that classic released by Neil Young in 1992.
Given a Balearic house interpretation, it has the perfect vibe to accompany those blissful summer moments.
The lyrics are simple yet deeply affecting, so be sure to check them out as well.
It’s also fun to compare it with the original acoustic guitar–based version and enjoy the differences between the two!
Only GirlStephen Sanchez
Singer-songwriter Stephen Sanchez, who commands respect from many listeners and fellow artists for his nostalgic musicality.
His presence and sound—reminiscent of Elvis Presley descending into the modern era—are consistently superb in their polish.
His new track, Only Girl, continues that tradition.
Let yourself be swept away by its nostalgic melody—hazy yet passionate—which evokes the feeling of a summer evening in Showa-era Japan.
MoonlightXXXTentacion
A track by XXXTENTACION with a title that perfectly fits—Moonlight—featuring a pleasantly mysterious sound, released three months before he was shot.
The lyrics sing of a woman’s beauty in harmony with the moonlight, and, true to Tentacion’s style, it’s a short song.
Yet it feels as if we glimpse his loneliness and vulnerable side, making it a fleeting, sorrowful piece.
