Compilation of Western songs with titles starting with 'U' (1–10)
UltraviolenceNEW!Lana Del Rey
Lana Del Rey sings of a decadent, downer worldview with a wistful voice.
Many of her songs express sorrow, and even this track—despite its seemingly aggressive title—cultivates a heavy atmosphere through messages of ruinous love and her lyrical vocals.
Released in advance in June 2014, it became the title track of the classic album Ultraviolence, which was released the same month.
It’s the perfect song to quietly immerse yourself in the myth of dangerous love on a solitary night—ideally with a bilingual lyric sheet in hand, taking your time.

Up From Here (ft. Robert Glasper & D Smoke)NEW!MOON CHILD
Moonchild, a Los Angeles-based trio celebrated for their sophisticated blend of jazz and neo-soul, has garnered strong support for their sound.
This track, created with two major figures—modern jazz luminary Robert Glasper and deft rapper D Smoke—was released in January 2026.
Centered on the strength and hope to rise from life’s lowest points, it is also included on the album “WAVES,” released on February 20, 2026.
The soothing melodies quintessential to Moonchild and the guests’ outstanding performances harmonize beautifully.
It’s a masterpiece that gives you the power to affirm yourself and face forward when you’re feeling a bit worn down—like during the May blues.

Calum Scott’s emotional vocals fuse with Aitch’s rap for a moving, heart-stirring result.
