Sweetest NovemberSarah Blasko

Sarah Blasko is a singer from Australia.

She also works as a record producer, and her compositions are highly acclaimed worldwide.

Among her works, the one I recommend for November is Sweetest November.

While she excels in indie rock and indie pop, this piece carries a vibe closer to 2000s US country.

The melody is dreamy, but the performance and vocals are catchy, so I think many listeners will enjoy it.

A collaboration between the young prodigy Illenium, whom The Chainsmokers have fallen for, and Canada’s songstress Lennon Stella, whose future success is eagerly anticipated.

It’s a track with that classic Chainsmokers sound driven by sidechain compression, perfect for those who love a tightly wound, held-back groove.

The video is thoughtfully crafted as well, featuring aerial shots and special effects.

Its glittering sound feels like it could clear away the gloomy November clouds and lift your spirits.

breathinAriana Grande

This is “breathin,” which was released as a single by songstress Ariana Grande in 2018.

It’s said to express the feelings she experienced after the 2017 terrorist attack at her Manchester concert.

The song conveys: “When life is hard and you feel powerless, breathe—just breathe slowly.

If you do, you’ll find, almost miraculously, that you can regain control of yourself.”

Bruno Mars is unusually rapping here! That distinctive flow is uniquely his.

You can feel his focus on the melodic line in the rap.

Your eyes are drawn to him, but this song is actually Gucci Mane’s.

The lyrics are marked by a gleaming, uninhibited party spirit.

The sparkling tones, with a hint of the warm, chic feel of FM synths, color the month of November.
