The world’s greatest male vocalists! Exploring the appeal of American male singers (21–30)
7 YearsLukas Graham
It’s a masterpiece where the rap and vocals shine over a slow-tempo track.
Released in 2015, it conveys the sorrow of losing a father at the age of seven, moving listeners around the world.
Since its release, it has been covered by numerous artists and became a major hit in Japan as well.
Changes2Pac
This is one of 2Pac’s signature songs, a hardcore gangsta rap performed over a track that skillfully samples Bruce Hornsby’s classic “The Way It Is.” Among Japanese fans who love West Coast American music, he’s revered almost like a cult figure, and even after his death, his popularity has never waned.
Someone You LovedLewis Capaldi
That husky, powerful singing voice has a charm that grabs your heart and won’t let go once you hear it.
He’s Lewis Capaldi, a singer-songwriter from Scotland.
His music blends pop with blue-eyed soul, and he shot to prominence in 2017 with “Bruises.” His smash hit “Someone You Loved” topped both the US and UK charts in 2019, and the track—which also won the BRIT Award for Song of the Year—appears on his massively successful album “Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent.” The way he lays bare the pain of heartbreak draws you in before you know it.
He’s an artist I highly recommend for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in a soul-stirring, emotional voice.
ImagineJohn Lennon
He is one of the members who went solo after the breakup of The Beatles, and together with his wife, the Japanese artist Yoko Ono, he is among the most well-known foreign artists in Japan.
Here is one of his signature songs, widely recognized even by music fans who don’t usually listen to Western music.
(I Can’t Get No) SatisfactionThe Rolling Stones
Alongside the Beatles, they are a British rock ’n’ roll band that has enjoyed enduring popularity in Japan since the 1960s.
In recent years, they also delivered a hugely successful Japan performance at the Tokyo Dome, demonstrating their continued vitality.
This song is one of their signature tracks, notable for its guitar riff that uses the then-groundbreaking fuzz effect.
