TeamKrewella
Krewella is an overseas artist who is well received in Japan.
While many other EDM artists are more like DJs, this act feels more like a typical artist in the Japanese sense—similar to a J-pop artist—but their talent is anything but ordinary.
The members of Krewella are also quite young, so expectations are high for their future music.
HeroMariah Carey
A song released by Mariah Carey in 1993.
It sings about the importance of looking to your inner strength and finding answers there when life isn’t going well and you feel discouraged.
It reached No.
1 on the Billboard charts and became a hit around the world, including in Canada and Europe.
All About That BassMeghan Trainor
A must-see for girls who aren’t confident about their bodies! The media keeps showing only super-skinny girls, but these positive lyrics that make you think “Who cares about body type!” are hugely popular.
The pastel-colored music video is fun to watch, too.
Another DayModestep
This one is also a dubstep artist—Modestep.
This track has a pretty powerful chorus.
The overall balance of the song is strong from the start, but when the chorus hits, it feels like a huge wave suddenly crashes in.
It might be good for relieving stress.
