Lovely Western music

Hidden gems of Western music. Lesser-known songs.

This time, I’m introducing hidden gems from Western music!

When you see an article like this, some of you might think, “Come on, it’s just a bunch of famous hits by big-name artists, right?”

Honestly, I feel disappointed too when I come across pieces like that.

But don’t worry!

This time, I’ve put together genuinely high-class, tasteful tracks.

The first half features standout songs by artists with a certain level of recognition and serious talent, while the second half dives into ultra-obscure, super-stylish gems.

Even those who know Western music inside out will find several tracks they’ve never heard of—so be sure to check them out!
