Nobody KnowsP!nk
Singer-songwriter P!nk, who has been close to music since childhood under her father’s influence, captivates fans with her smoky singing voice.
“Nobody Knows,” a single cut from her fourth album, I’m Not Dead, is deeply moving with its soulful vocals that use edge voice and its powerful dynamics.
The lyrics portray a true self that no one understands—something many who struggle to show their vulnerability might strongly relate to.
It’s a bluesy, comfortable ballad you’ll want to keep listening to.
NÃO SOU OBRIGADAPOCAH
POCA is a female singer-songwriter who specializes in Brazilian music genres such as Funk Carioca and Funk Ostentação.
Because Funk Carioca and Funk Ostentação are relatively new genres, they pair well with dance music, and her track “NÃO SOU OBRIGADA” delivers an exceptionally upbeat, danceable sound.
If you enjoy dance music you can move to—like reggaeton or soca—be sure to check it out.

New Year’s EVEPale Waves
This is a highly recommended classic as BGM for couples who love alternative rock from the 2010s and beyond to play from New Year’s Eve into the New Year! It’s a 2017 track by the UK band Pale Waves, fronted by the charismatic singer-guitarist Heather Baron-Gracie, and since it wasn’t included on their debut album My Mind Makes Noises released the following year, you could call it a hidden gem.
It’s quintessentially them: a poppy fusion of ’80s-style new wave and post-2010 indie-rock sensibilities, and even listeners who don’t usually listen to Western pop should find it easy and pleasant to enjoy.
As for the lyrics, they read like a recollection of events on New Year’s Eve, with the protagonist openly expressing feelings for the special person who stays by their side despite their mistakes.
If this song comes on during a drive to catch the first sunrise of the year, it’s bound to set the perfect mood!
NovemberPatrickReza
An indie trap track by PatrickReza whose sweet melodies and wistful lyrics seep into the heart.
Released in November 2019, this gem paints the story of meeting a lover on a cold, rainy day.
Delicate piano tones intertwine exquisitely with guitar riffs, creating an emotional atmosphere.
Notable for its bold bass drop, the track was released on the CloudKid label.
It’s a song to savor quietly as autumn fades into winter—perfect for those who want to bask in memories of love.
New AttitudePatti LaBelle
Patti LaBelle is a truly exceptional figure in the history of soul music, which has produced so many greats.
By the early 1960s, while still a teenager, she made her professional debut with a group called the Bluebelles, and their 1962 release “I Sold My Heart to the Junkman” broke into the U.S.
Top 40.
In the 1970s, she led a vocal group bearing her own name, Labelle, delivering funky soul; their 1975 hit “Lady Marmalade” reached No.
1 on the U.S.
charts.
Even that alone would make for a remarkable career, but her true brilliance emerged after overcoming a lull, from the 1980s onward.
In 1984, at the age of 41, she scored a dramatic comeback with “New Attitude,” a quintessentially ’80s track that fused R&B and rock, and it was also the moment her distinctive high-register vocals and trademark spiky hairstyle were born.
She continued to win popularity with a free-spirited approach that refused to be bound by genre, and in her forties she earned the title “Queen of Rock & Soul.” Because she rejects labels, she may not be especially well-known in Japan, but she is precisely the sort of great artist that people who might harbor vague preconceptions about “Black soul” should get to know.
Nude Beach. Pin Hole CameraPele
Pele is an American instrumental band that brought a fresh breeze to the indie rock scene.
They drew attention in genres like math rock and post-rock, known for their distinctive structures and melodies.
Their 2000 album The Nudes is a defining work that embodies their musical identity.
The sound is simple yet infectious, and their performances—fusing improvisation with rock—are nothing short of stunning.
The tight interplay of members Chris Rosenau, Jon Mueller, and Matt Tennessen is a must-hear.

New Year’s DayPentatonix
Since their formation in 2011, the a cappella group Pentatonix has been hugely popular not only in their home country of the United States but also here in Japan, and this song is perfect for celebrating the New Year! In their early days, they drew attention by posting cover songs on YouTube, but this track—centered on their own original music—was included on their self-titled major-label debut released in 2015.
It’s a masterpiece with an uplifting message that resonates: say goodbye to the past and move forward on a new path.
As showcased in the opening of the song, the sacred resonance born from the a cappella technique—expressing music using only the human voice—feels especially fitting for ushering in the New Year.
It’s great to listen to on your own, but if possible, we hope you’ll experience the brilliance of this piece in the company of as many people as you can gather!
