Singer-songwriter Michael Jackson, affectionately known as the King of Pop.

His dance technique is highly acclaimed, and his skills are admired by dancers around the world.

There are many works where you can experience his dancing, but the one I’d like to recommend today is You Rock My World.

While many of his songs are pop and catchy, this track is crafted in a very stylish way.

Of course, the music video also perfectly matches the song’s vibe and looks incredibly cool, so be sure to check it out.

Yo Quisiera Ser Muy LibreMiguel Poveda

Miguel Poveda – Yo Quisiera Ser Muy Libre (Lyric Video)
Yo Quisiera Ser Muy LibreMiguel Poveda

Miguel Poveda is a powerhouse cantaor leading contemporary flamenco.

He doesn’t have the weathered voice of someone like Diego El Cigala, but he more than makes up for it with his vocal skill and emotional expressiveness.

In Spain, people often say “a cantaor’s face matters,” and Miguel Poveda’s expressions are breathtaking.

As he sings, his face seems to merge with the protagonist of the song, and his cante moves you deeply.

He’s a true artist whose vocal ability stands shoulder to shoulder with, and in no way inferior to, Buika—the genius female singer born in Spain.

Younger NowMiley Cyrus

This is the title track from Miley Cyrus’s 2017 album Younger Now.

Known for breaking away from her Disney Channel idol image and pushing her career forward by boldly showcasing a more mature, distinctive persona, Miley seemed to soften in 2017—perhaps thanks to happy times with her partner—and this song reflects that.

It’s an upbeat track that embraces her intense past while looking ahead to a fresh rebirth, overflowing with a happy mood.

YMCAMinions

This film is a spin-off of the Minions, who gained popularity in Illumination Entertainment’s Despicable Me series.

Titled “Minions,” it depicts the story from the Minions’ origins to their encounter with Gru.

The song “Y.M.C.A.” is used in the film as a tribute to Hideki Saijo.

Remarkably, as an animated movie, it became the second highest-grossing animated film worldwide, following “Frozen.”

You ProofMorgan Wallen

Morgan Wallen is a country musician who represents America.

After collaborating with rapper Lil Durk in 2019, he once again began attracting attention from younger audiences.

Among his songs, the one I especially recommend for being easy to sing is You Proof.

While he’s known for his punchy vocals, he holds back on this track, creating a relaxed atmosphere throughout.

As long as you learn the English lyrics well, it’s easy to sing even if you’re not a strong singer—so give it a try!
