Leaving by Illenium

Mentioning the song that holds a special place in my heart currently, ‘Leaving’ by Illenium, is something that I can’t avoid. This touchy track, lying somewhere between dubstep, future bass, and progressive house, has a melody and lyrics that can easily make listeners cry. The song is so moving that I would give it a perfect score of 10/10 for any teenager to enjoy. Here’s a brief album information for Illenium.

All the Time by Bahamas

Another track that holds a special place in my heart is ‘All the Time’ by Bahamas. This song, which can be classified as a soulful, chill piece of music, resonates deeply with a more spiritual side. The song's message of life, time, and soul connection resonates with me and might also touch other people in different ways. I would definitely recommend it a 10/10. Spread the love and enjoy this amazing song.

Anna Rose by J Minus

Shifting gears, ‘Anna Rose’ by J Minus is more of a rock ballad, leaning towards emotional and heartfelt content. This song deals with the pain of losing someone special. It’s a powerful piece of music, and while I would recommend it at 9/10, its intense and heartwarming melody might resonate with a different set of listeners than the previously mentioned songs.

Why Don’t You Do Right by Peggy Lee

Another notable track in the jazz scene is ‘Why Don’t You Do Right’ by Peggy Lee. This 1930s jazz standard, known as “woman’s blues,” resonates differently for different people. For me, it falls more on the younger audience’s lap, and I would only give it a 2 out of 10 in terms of recommendations to teenagers. This song, however, holds a special place for those interested in the classic era of jazz, and for me, it’s a part of my eclectic music journey. Listen to the song here.

Back to Sleep Remix with Usher and Zayn

And, if we move into the contemporary scene, the track ‘Back to Sleep’ with Usher and Zayn, can be classified as Grown Folk music. It brings a different energy to listeners who remember the original release. For younger audiences, I would give it a 2 out of 10 recommendation. However, the remix adds a layer of richness that might interest a different crowd.
