Classic Western songs to listen to in July: summer anthems and popular tracks (41–50)
StarEarth, Wind & Fire
Earth, Wind & Fire is an American funk band that enjoyed great popularity in Japan during the disco boom.
Their 1979 single “Star” is a mid-tempo, mellow soul number.
The lyrics about a bright, shining star and the band’s signature falsetto vocals create a somewhat mystical and sacred atmosphere.
That mystical image is a perfect match for Tanabata, so it’s a song I really recommend listening to in July.
WATATIKAROL G
Karol G, a singer-songwriter from Colombia, is attracting a lot of attention.
Her song “WATATI” is sung in Spanish, Colombia’s official language, and its sound meshes perfectly with the Latin-flavored track, making it a supreme, high-energy tune.
It’s a perfect summer track that will heat you up just by listening.
Notably, it features Panamanian singer and rapper Aldo Ranks, whose cheerful rap sprinkled with laughter is guaranteed to lift your spirits!

“Feels This Good ft.
Stefflon Don,” by UK DJ and music producer Sigala, UK singer-songwriter Mae Muller, and singer Katie Baser.
The song’s breezy dance-pop rhythm makes it perfect for summer.
It also features UK rapper Stefflon Don, whose Jamaican roots bring an irresistible, exotic rap part to the track.
With plenty of EDM-style synths, it’s an ideal pick for a summer party playlist!
La BebeYng Lvcas & Peso Pluma
La Bebe by Yng Lvcas from Mexico and Peso Pluma.
This track is a perfect summer pick, with the cheerful feel of Spanish—the official language of Mexico—lifting your mood.
It uses an effect called autotune, which slightly adjusts the pitch of the vocals, giving it a cool, stylish sound that really amps you up.
For hot summer events like barbecues or beach trips, turn this song on and get the party going!
