Upbeat Western music to get you pumped: Recommended uptempo tracks (51–60)
Uptown FunkMark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars
Many of you might remember it because the song was recently used in a TV commercial for the Honda Fit.
The melody is very catchy and easy to remember.
I think it’s wonderful how the somewhat nostalgic tone actually feels fresh.
Como No ft. Becky GAkon
Akon, an R&B singer from Senegal, is known for approachable R&B with strong pop elements and has released many emotional tracks.
In a good way, Como No ft.
Becky G upends that image.
As you can tell from his collaboration with Becky G, who is also famous as a Latin artist, the track is a full-on reggaeton banger.
If you want to experience a different side of Akon, be sure to check it out!
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.
Everybody TalksNeon Trees
This rock-flavored song of theirs isn’t just cool—the playful choreography they show off in the video is also part of its appeal.
The music video, set at an old outdoor cinema, has a bit of a storyline that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
I definitely want to learn the choreography and try it myself.
StayZedd, Alessia Cara
Zedd and Alessia Cara, who also won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
I’m sure many people have already heard their song “Stay,” but all of their tracks are poppy and easy to remember, and above all, they’re danceable and fun to listen to.
These are songs I recommend for a wide range of situations—whether you want to get everyone hyped or boost your energy on your own.
Good FeelingFlo Rida
He’s a rapper in high demand from all directions—you’ve probably heard him at least once, right? He’s also had deep ties with Japan, collaborating with EXILE and promoting his favorite Yoshinoya beef bowls.
