Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
With the motto “Learn the basics and enjoy putting them into practice,” I worked as a vocal coach specializing in Western music. As a teen, I questioned the idea that “Western music equals English,” and started listening to songs from around the world. Today, I devour music from over 80 countries and run a personal blog introducing tracks. I often listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. I’ll keep updating articles daily to find the one perfect song you’re looking for!

“I just can’t get pumped up…” If you’re a music lover, you probably have a stash of songs that lift your spirits when you feel like that.

In this article, we’re focusing on Western music and carefully selecting upbeat tracks that are popular with many people.

We’ll try to include as many newer songs as possible.

In the latter half, we’ll also feature timeless classics—nostalgic hits that never fade.

Hopefully you’ll discover a favorite artist or a new track.

New LookRita Ora

This is a bangin’ track Rita Ora released in July 2019.

The music video is intricately produced with a world that feels like it could appear in Fast & Furious.

It’s a very 2019 song, featuring a bouncy phrase at the drop.

The intro, verse, and pre-chorus have a relatively calm, mid-tempo mood.

The MV includes scenes of street car racing, but it’s dangerous—so make sure to close off the road before doing anything like that.
