    Anything Jam Hsiao works, but I really like his song A Love Song For You. I also found out about a group called 製燥者StoryMaker and I absolutely love their song Sin of Sloth. I have so many different songs, mostly vocaloid and other related software, songs that I like that are in Chinese, Japanese, some in Korean, and even a song in Ukrainian that I like, but I ain’t doing a super list of songs.

    September by Mariya Takeuchi.

    I like a good amount of Japanese music but that makes my top five songs.

    Well I do speak some Spanish but Del Castillo Rios Misticos is such a banger whether you can understand it or not.

    The song Inta Omri is gorgeous, look for a Um Kathoum version.

    I’m a Eurovision Song Contest fan, though I only came to it in the last few years, so I have a ton of good songs for this question!

    ESC 2021

    • SHUM by GO_A (Ukraine) was my winner for that year.
    • Zitti E Buoni by Maneskin (Italy) was the actual winner and launched them to international success. They are on the US radio now too.
    • Voy a Quedarme by Blas Canto (Spain) is very pretty. I DO speak Spanish, but y’all might dig it.

    ESC 2022

    • Brividi by Mahmood & Blanco (Italy)
    • Trenulețul by Zdob şi Zdub & Frații Advahov (Moldova) is some of the most fun music I’ve ever heard.
    • Saudade Saudade by MARO (Portugal) is partly in English but entirely beautiful.
    • In Corpore Sano by Konstrakta (Serbia) was one of my top songs this year. Her odd stage/video performance really makes it.
    • Stefania by Kalush Orchestra (Ukraine) was the winner this year, only partly because of the invasion. It was probably in most people’s top 3 anyway, and it got such a huge percentage of the votes that it really skewed the rest of the results. (Fun fact, the flautist/lead in this song is the same flautist from SHUM in 2021)

    ESC 2023

    • Cha Cha Cha by Käärijä (Finland) is a TREMENDOUS bop. It’s so catchy. As he was touring around before the actual semi-finals he lost his trademark lime green jacket, and fans made and brought replacements to shows for him until it was found.
    • Mama ŠČ! by Let 3 (Croatia) is beyond weird but really catchy. They’re the most charismatic artists ever to fake pooping themselves during an interview.
    • Ai Coração by Mimicat (Portugal) is fun and has a kind of old school vibe.

    ESC 2024 is in National Finals season now, where each country chooses their entry, usually with a reality show contest. The semi-finals are 7 and 9 May and the Finals will be on 11 May. You can stream on Peacock, or hop on a VPN and watch the live feed from Sweden or Denmark or somewhere.

      Not a huge ESC fan usually, but I did love the 2021 edition for the proprtion of native language songs, both in total and among the top spots

        It makes me happy to see songs in their natives languages, but since the rules changed to allow more English songs, we see countries sending them with the assumption that they’ll get more attention from countries other than their own.

        The most important rules change to me would be to revert the 2020(?) loosening of recorded vocals restrictions. In the last two or three years we’ve noticed lots of countries where the recorded “background vocals” include the lead part to cover up bad live performances. Heck, I’d even support live instruments too.

    Anything by kælan mikla out of Iceland is good. Definitely Draumaudis/dream dance

    Aural Vampire from Japan is a lot of fun too. Hard to pick just one. But kerguelen vortex is a good starting point.
