Raise Your GlassP!nk
P!NK’s appeal lies in her powerful vocals, and “Raise Your Glass” showcases that brilliantly while being irresistibly upbeat.
Its sound feels like it can blow away any worries, and it’s a song I’d love to sing with a big group at karaoke.

You’re hooked from the pop and cute intro.
If this isn’t what you call a feel-good, groovy track, then what is? Before you know it, your body starts swaying on its own as you listen.
It’s that kind of song.
Highly recommended if you want to dance without a care.
School DaysStanley Clarke
It’s the title track from bassist Stanley Clarke’s leader album.
I’ve listened to it tens of thousands of times, and the unbelievably groovy bass—almost beyond human—never gets old.
It’s an anything-goes showcase: chordal playing, slapping, harmonics, you name it.
It’s best enjoyed with a sense of “Wow, there are people like this in the world.” For aspiring bass players in particular, it may present an extraordinarily high bar.
Yeah 3xChris Brown
Chris Brown is a singer who’s almost universally known in R&B and pop.
With his distinctive high-tone voice, he has enjoyed immense popularity since he was just 16.
Recently, he even released a double album with 40 tracks, and his momentum keeps building—he’s someone you just can’t take your eyes off!
Super BassNicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj is captivating with her powerful rap and distinctive, edgy vocals.
This track preserves her unique flair while putting a girly, playful vibe front and center—it’s a super cute hip-hop tune.
Not just on the first listen, but the more you play it, the more upbeat and hyped you’ll feel, getting you into a fun, groovy mood.
Wrapped Up (feat. Travie McCoy)Olly Murs
It’s a collaboration between Olly Murs, who always puts out cool tracks, and Travie McCoy.
In the music video, they show off some impressive dance moves.
All of his songs are unabashedly suave, but it really suits him—and I can’t help but fall for it.
Hey, Soul SisterTrain
Train has been at the forefront of Western music for a long time, and one of their famous songs is Hey, Soul Sister.
While they’re generally categorized as alternative rock, this track has a strong country vibe—perfect for listening to on a sunny day’s drive!
