theradicalchildI've also been often listening to other various vocal music, such as this album for the video game Mother, which was legally released in English for the first time the last decade as EarthBound Beginnings. I thought its music was pretty good, and really loved this vocal album that had been recorded around the time of the game's original Japanese release in 1989, with English singer Catherine Warwick singing most of the lyrics.
There was also another rerelease of the album a few years ago with some Japanese guy doing the English lyrics, but since the first song is called "Pollyanna" and the lyrics reference her as such, I think Warwick was a far better fit.
Also, this Broadway show tune I absolutely can't stop listening to over and over. Thanks, Temple of Doom.
It definitely screams "the 1930s", but I think much of it is still relevant today. I listened to the musical's other tunes on Apple Music, and they're...okay.
