Upbeat Western music to get you pumped: Recommended uptempo tracks (51–60)
BLOW (with Chris Stapleton & Bruno Mars)Ed Sheeran
Straight-down-the-middle, no-frills rock! “I never thought we’d hear this kind of sound from this lineup!”—that’s the sort of reaction you can imagine hearing from all sides with this track.
Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars have both been focused on dance music in recent years, so this feels refreshingly new.
And we can’t forget country heavyweight Chris Stapleton.
With him in the mix, the sound reaches a fully mature finish.
The music video, which doesn’t feature any of them, also leaves a good impression with its unpretentious vibe.
A perfect track for a drive.
Noche Sin DíaIl Volo, Gente de Zona
Conceived as a new-generation Three Tenors, Il Volo have been active since they were young.
In Japan, they’re strongly associated with opera, but they’ve actually released some upbeat party tunes as well.
One I particularly recommend is Noche Sin Día.
It’s a collaboration with the Cuban reggaeton group Gente de Zona, resulting in a hard-hitting reggaeton track with a summery vibe.
It performed well on Latin charts around the world, so many of you might already find it familiar!
Beauty and a Beat (feat. Nicki Minaj)Justin Bieber
This track, a collaboration with Nicki Minaj, had a groundbreaking release.
The concept was that his personal data was hacked and private videos were uploaded to social media without his consent.
It seems many of Justin’s followers initially believed it.
When they realized it was actually the promotional video for the new song, fans were thrilled.
Only HumanJonas Brothers
A laid-back groove with elements of relaxed reggae sound makes this a mellow, feel-good number.
It’s a track included on Happiness Begins, released by the popular trio the Jonas Brothers after their 2019 reunion.
Be sure to check out the music video too—it’s a fun, retro piece brimming with an ’80s vibe!
StrongerKanye West
Kanye West, the universally acknowledged genius rapper/producer.
His words and actions often stir controversy, but his music is undeniably original.
This track, one of Kanye’s most popular, really makes you feel like you want to get stronger—just like the title says.
It’s perfect for a gym workout!
