[2026 Edition] Cool Western Songs to Sing! From the Newest Hits to Timeless Classics (141–150)
DaylightDavid Kushner
David Kushner is a singer-songwriter known for his dark vibe.
His track Daylight is his latest release and is currently a massive hit, especially on TikTok.
The song carries strong religious overtones and features complex, enigmatic lyrics.
The melody matches those lyrics with a heavy, weighty feel.
Because of that, it tends to sound cooler when sung by someone with a rich, low voice rather than a thin, light one.
DFMUElla Mai
Ella Mai is a UK-born R&B singer who has garnered attention from R&B enthusiasts around the world.
If you keep up with R&B in Japan, you’re probably familiar with her.
She has produced a number of classic tracks, but the one I especially recommend is DFMU.
It’s a piece centered on the slow-jam R&B she excels at, and because the slow-jam genre is, as the name suggests, very slow, I think the English pronunciation is also easier.
Hold Me CloserElton John, Britney Spears
Hold Me Closer, a collaboration between big names Elton John and Britney Spears, is a great pick when a man and woman go to karaoke together.
Its catchy melody and lack of difficult parts make it easy to sing.
It also works well to follow it up with solo songs by Elton John or Britney Spears.
If you’re going to karaoke with people who grew up listening to Western pop around the ’90s, you can’t go wrong with songs from these two!
[2026 Edition] Western songs that are cool if you can sing them! From the latest hits to timeless classics (151–160)
Control FreakFLO
FLO is a British girl group.
Let me introduce their song “Control Freak.” The title “control freak” is a psychological term referring to someone who tries to control everything.
In the song, from a woman’s perspective, they portray a man who attempts to dominate her life.
One of its biggest appeals is how it conveys the importance of freedom and independence.
It’s also a great recommendation when you want to encourage someone close to you.
As a bona fide R&B track, there’s no doubt you’ll sound cool singing it.
Coast ft. Anderson .PaakHailee Steinfeld
American singer Hailee Steinfeld’s “Coast” featuring fellow American artist Anderson .Paak is a great song to try singing with someone who’s good at rap.
Hailee Steinfeld’s vocal part is simple and easy to sing, and Anderson .Paak’s rap isn’t very fast, so even people who aren’t used to singing Western pop can give it a try!
First ClassJack Harlow
Jack Harlow is a rapper who, despite being white, earns respect from Black heads.
Because his sound is catchier than typical hip-hop, some might assume he’s a fake, but his rap skills are extremely high, and while his music is catchy, it’s also refined.
Among his tracks, First Class pairs skillful rapping with a simple beat, delivering a calm vibe while packing exceptional punch.
Rapping in English can be challenging due to the language barrier, but if you can pull it off, it’s incredibly cool—so definitely give it a try.
Maybe Next TimeJamie Miller
Jamie Miller is a pop singer from the UK.
He might not be very well-known in Japan, but he’s hugely popular in Britain, and his distinctive tone and unique singing style create a world all his own.
Among his works, the one I especially recommend is “Maybe Next Time.” It’s an emotional ballad, and if someone with a similarly husky voice sings it, I think it can sound incredibly cool.
