This is a collaborative track by popular DJ and music producer Zedd and Alessia Cara, a newcomer who debuted in 2014.

Zedd’s production overturns the flashy EDM stereotype, pairing perfectly with Alessia Cara’s warm vocals.

Its calm, richly layered sound is captivating, with a hint of exotic, ethnic atmosphere.

In many Japanese songs, the sound swells when the chorus hits, but in this track the instrumentation thins out in the chorus—and that’s what makes it so cool.

It’s a golden rule of dance music.

“I’ll Be There,” a song by Canadian indie band Walk Off the Earth.

With its comfortable beat and vocals, it’s a powerful track whose appeal comes through clearly after just one listen.

And of course, that’s not the only charm of the song—the lyrics, which genuinely support those who are down or anxious, are also compelling.

It’s an empowering number made with you in mind.

Here’s a track that showcases Selena Gomez at her best.

It carries a very cool, stylish vibe, and from the music video alone, there’s almost a mechanical atmosphere to it.

That said, the lyrics—written from the perspective of a third party pursuing “her”—are innovative, and that “her” might just be you.

As you listen, you might even discover a new version of yourself.

It’s a remarkably deep and layered song.

An easygoing track that lifts your spirits right up to the surface, “I Don’t Care.” Despite being a big-name collaboration, the ridiculously slapdash CG and quirky vibe are absolutely perfect.

The laid-back feel of the song is so pleasant that taking a walk or commuting while listening to it will surely feel better than usual!
