Western music I want to listen to leisurely on the weekend. World classics and popular songs.

HelloAdele

Adele – Hello (Official Music Video)

This is a track that makes the most of ADELA’s powerful, soaring vocals.

With her deep, expansive singing, it’s guaranteed to smooth out the wrinkles in your body and heart.

If this song helps you appreciate what makes ADELA great, you should try exploring her other tracks as well.

RiversideAgnes Obel

Agnes Obel – Riverside (Official Video)

This song was often used in flashback scenes of Emily, the protagonist of the hit international drama “Revenge,” which is said to have been watched by 180 million people across the United States.

It matches the heroine well—sad, yet imbued with strength.

For fans of the show, it’s a deeply meaningful track.

Of course, I can confidently recommend it even to those who haven’t seen the series.

Let’s Stay TogetherAl Green

Al Green – Let’s Stay Together

In the 1970s, new soul and funk music were at the center of the scene.

Al Green is a soul singer, but his musical style is clearly unique, and he had already created the blueprint for what we now call neo-soul.

One of his masterpieces is “Let’s Stay Together.” The relaxed vocals and groovy drums are incredibly stylish.

If you like neo-soul, definitely give it a listen.
