[2026 Edition] Western Songs That Are Cool to Sing! From the Newest Hits to Timeless Classics (171–180)

Shakira, a singer-songwriter from Colombia who is beloved worldwide as an icon of Latin music, has been active at the forefront for many years and continued to produce various hit songs in 2021.

Of her works, the one I especially recommend is “Don’t Wait Up,” released in June 2021.

It’s dance music rooted in deep house, combining a danceable sound with a highly stylish vibe.

Gimme LoveSia

Sia – Gimme Love (Official Lyric Video)

Australian singer-songwriter Sia released “Gimme Love” as the lead single from her album Reasonable Woman.

It’s a ballad with an operatic feel that showcases her high-register vocals.

The song portrays the pull of attraction toward someone and the struggle to hold those feelings back.

If you’re comfortable with higher keys, you’ll be able to show off your abilities to the fullest.

JadedSpiritbox

Spiritbox is a Canadian heavy metal band.

Their lead single from the EP “The Fear of Fear” is “Jaded.” The song stands out for a structure that intensifies as it heads into the chorus.

There are parts where the vocals are delivered in a shout-like style, which is a key feature.

It’s fairly difficult to sing, but if you can pull it off, it’s really cool.

By the way, there are two shouting sections, and the one in the latter half is quite long.

It’d be cool if you could belt out a sweet love song, right? That’s why I want to introduce “Until I Found You.” It’s by next-generation artist Stephen Sanchez.

His gentle vocals and slightly retro-sounding melody create a romantic atmosphere.

When singing this song, putting emotion into it might be more important than technique.

Also, I recommend trying a duet like in the music video.

Bad HabitSteve Lacy

Steve Lacy is an artist whose sophisticated musicality has earned high praise from hardcore soul aficionados around the world.

His distinctive sound—authentic neo-soul reminiscent of D’Angelo, reimagined with a modern twist—has become especially popular.

“Bad Habit” is one of his signature tracks.

It’s a unique take on neo-soul with shades of 1970s new wave, so rather than aiming for a sleek, polished delivery, try singing it freely in your own style.

UH OH! feat. BENEESub Urban

Sub Urban – UH OH! (feat. BENEE) [Official Music Video]
UH OH! feat. BENEESub Urban

Sub Urban is an artist who achieved an explosive breakthrough thanks to TikTok.

If you use TikTok, you’ve probably heard his songs at least once.

His musical style is known as dark pop, and as the name suggests, he excels at blending dark, gothic melodies into pop music.

“UH OH! feat.

BENEE” also falls into the dark pop category, but since the tempo isn’t fast, I think it’s relatively easy to sing.

It’s recommended for those who want to project a cool vibe with a dark atmosphere.

LandminesSUM41

Sum 41 – Landmines (Official Music Video)
LandminesSUM41

Wouldn’t it be cool to be able to sing intense punk rock? That’s why I want to introduce “Landmines.” It’s a track released by the Canadian rock band Sum 41.

Set to a fast-paced, guitar-driven sound, the song’s lyrics deal with regret and inner conflict.

It also features choruses, so it’s the kind of song you can enjoy having others join in on.

Plus, it sits in a lower register overall, making it a good choice for those who struggle with high-key songs.
