November songYerin Baek
If you like Western pop with a laid-back vibe, we recommend November Song.
The singer is Baek Yerin, who used to be active in the K-pop duo 15&.
Since going solo, she has pursued her craft as a full-fledged artist and has earned high praise worldwide.
This song of hers is perfect for November, when the chill really sets in, and listening to it gives you the same cozy feeling as sipping a hot cup of coffee.
November AirZach Bryan
If you want to spend some time alone at dusk, I recommend “Zach Bryan – November Air.” It’s a track included on singer-songwriter Zach Bryan’s album All My Homies Hate Ticketmaster (Live from Red Rocks).
With a country music vibe, it portrays a contemplative cowboy.
The Western elements are both poignant and cool, and listening to it really brings vivid scenes to mind.
Ruin My LifeZara Larsson
This 2018 release by Swedish singer Zara Larsson, hailing from the EDM powerhouse Sweden, is a scorching love song that borders on madness, despite its beautiful track.
Once you read the lyrics, the song’s powerful impact becomes immediately clear.
It’s a track that will warm you up even in winter.
Also, be sure to check out her fashion in the music video.
November Prayerkitchen
A perfect song for the autumn atmosphere, steeped in deep sentiment and loneliness.
James Keegan of kitchen spins a delicate vocal performance, and the gentle tone of the acoustic guitar sinks into the heart.
Included on the album “town,” released in January 2017, this track uses images of cold and snow to depict unrequited love and solitude.
Its lo-fi sound quality and minimal arrangement further enhance the lyrical world.
Recommended for those who want to sink into an introspective mood and quietly listen during an autumn dusk.
Holy WarAlicia Keys
A song that celebrates free love.
It was created by Alicia Keys together with Billy Walsh and Alejandro Sanz.
To commemorate the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s iconic “I Have a Dream” speech at the March on Washington, it was performed at the MTV Video Music Awards on August 28, 2016.
Sweet but PsychoAva Max
A glamorous EDM number by American singer Ava Max, with crisp handclap highs that feel incredibly satisfying.
The strikingly crazy title “Sweet but Psycho” leaves a strong impression.
The drama-style music video is intense and tells the story of the song’s identity.
Yet the track itself is extremely pleasant—so much so that, in a way, that contrast feels almost ‘psycho’ in itself.
The WeekendBrantley Gilbert
A song that sings about having a good time on the weekend.
It was released as a digital download in 2016.
The music video, directed by Shane Drake, features Brantley Gilbert’s band members as well as his wife, Amber.
