Somethin’ ElseCannonball Adderley
Somethin’ Else, the masterful album released in 1958 by saxophonist Cannonball Adderley, is known as a quintessential modern jazz record and continues to be loved by fans around the world.
The album famously features the great Miles Davis and is also notable as Adderley’s only Blue Note release.
Its greatest strength lies in the way it balances cool, restrained beauty with the vibrant energy characteristic of hard bop.
It works wonderfully as relaxed background music, but I also recommend giving it your full attention to savor the tension-filled performances delivered by the stellar lineup.
SymbolicDEATH
Death is an American band led by Chuck Schuldiner, often called the “father of death metal.” Their sixth album, Symbolic, was released in 1995.
This work perfectly fuses their technical style with more refined melodies, creating a landmark record that had a profound influence on the scene that followed.
The combination of intense performances and philosophical lyrics adds a distinctive touch, and the synergy is outstanding.
Why not take the time to savor this artistic sound that transcends the boundaries of death metal?
Square HammerGHOST
This is a signature song by the Swedish band Ghost, released in 2016.
Its overwhelming impact is clear from its stellar achievements, including reaching No.
1 on the Billboard charts and being named the “Metal Song of the Decade.” Their unique flair for pairing a mysterious concept—swearing allegiance to the devil—with an instantly singable, catchy melody is truly one of a kind.
From the majestic organ intro that pulls you in at once, you’ll be captivated by its theatrical sound.
This track opens the door to the grand narrative Ghost weaves—why not experience it for yourself?
StrandedGOJIRA
This is a song by Gojira, the world-renowned metal band that France is proud of, featuring a powerful guitar riff that sticks in your head after a single listen.
The riff, which makes extensive use of the DigiTech Whammy pedal, is also striking; fans have called it “an iconic riff of the 2010s,” and it has drawn a lot of attention.
The lyrics convey an inescapable sense of isolation and inner conflict, and when you hear the soul-baring cry that feels like shouting “I can’t take it anymore,” it shakes you and reminds you not to look away from your own struggles.
Be sure to check out not only their sound but also the message in the lyrics through a bilingual translation or liner notes.
SelfishJustin Timberlake
A solo comeback by American superstar Justin Timberlake—his first in about six years! “If the person reflected in your eyes isn’t me, I feel like I’ll go crazy with jealousy.” This song candidly lays bare an intense possessiveness and the frustration of being self-centered.
You’ll find yourself drawn in by the vocals, which reveal vulnerable, usually hidden feelings, carried by a sound where R&B and pop blend seamlessly.
These are the all-too-human, selfish emotions that arise precisely because you’re in love.
With lyrics this honest, you’ll surely find yourself relating, too!

Suffocate (Ft. Poppy)Knocked Loose
Currently, the most talked-about American band is the beatdown hardcore/metalcore outfit Knocked Loose from Kentucky.
While maintaining an extreme and intensely brutal sound, they’re carving out a new frontier in hardcore and metal.
The track that shocked the scene in 2024 was Suffocate, featuring Poppy.
It drew so much attention it earned a Grammy nomination, and it’s a relentless blast of aggressive riffs, a ferocious back-and-forth of screamed vocals from both sides, and—most strikingly—a breakdown in the latter half that rides a reggaeton-style beat.
Brutal yet strangely catchy, this is a song you should definitely check out.
Shout At The DevilMötley Crüe
Motley Crue, who led the American glam metal scene, released Shout at the Devil in 1983, the album that catapulted them to stardom.
Its demonic artwork stirred controversy, but the sound—heavier and more aggressive yet still unmistakably glamorous—strikes a captivating balance.
The barrage of piercing guitar riffs and catchy choruses makes for an addictive listen that will hook you from the first spin.
It’s a must-hear for anyone who wants to experience both the dangerous aura of ’80s metal and the dazzling fun of rock ’n’ roll at the same time.
