Night Before ChristmasSam Smith

Sam Smith – Night Before Christmas (Lyric Video)
Night Before ChristmasSam Smith

Singer-songwriter Sam Smith, known for his distinctive high-tone voice, originally focused mainly on ballads, but his musical style has evolved since around “Unholy,” and he’s now exploring a variety of genres.

His Christmas number “Night Before Christmas” is a piece imbued with a soulful vibe.

Because it’s in 3/4 time, the rhythm can be hard for Japanese listeners to feel, but the tempo is very slow and the melodic leaps aren’t extreme, so if you’re comfortable with Black music, definitely give it a try.

If we hold on togetherDiana Ross

It’s Diana Ross’s smash hit released in 1991 that moved countless people.

The lyrics are in English, but if you give it a try, you might find they’re not as difficult as you’d expect.

Savor the words, and sing your heart out as if you were at a dinner show.

It’s also a highly recommended choice for those who want to sing with a gentle, heartfelt touch.
