One of my top five female singers of all time, Daria Stravrovich, is Russian - here she is in the Russian band, The Slot (has done many other vocal projects other than this band, however). The band did one album in English more than a decade ago, but her voice is so much more natural in her native language, even though I don't understand a word of it.
Brother Jeff Higgins once said she sounds like a chainsaw with a cracked expansion chamber, so be warned! :D <iframe width="652" height="367" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eQ1HQyj7_Wc" title="СЛОТ — Альфа Ромео + Бета Джульетта (Ин да хаос.

Here's another example Vinman...... Perhaps the best voice/performance I have ever heard:

Most of the world does that... They listen to english language music and most people don't speak a lick of it. Also in other countries there is more exposure to foreign music due to proximity - for instance it's not uncommon for an italian or spanish hit to be #1 in France or whatever.. All I can say is in the USA, people sure missed out on a lot of good music over the decades, simply because it's in other languages and not quite "accepted" for prime time on radios etc... The reverse is not true.. That is changing with streaming.
Over the years many non-english hits were redone in english and nobody is the wiser... A non fashionable but maybe one of the most recoognized songs out there would be Sinatra's "my way". Not a Sinatra song - it's french, LOL. If you don't know of him, try Zucchero (italian), one of my fav foreign language singers. Mana (band) also has had some really good rock hits (in spanish)... Telephone (in french) also.. A song caught my ear on FLying wild alaska (TV show), I thin it 's in icelandic or something... sounds like the guy it cleaning his thoat at times, and yet it's lovely (Sinnattut by Peand L) - I guess it's a matter of exposure. |

Turns out everyone speaks a little Russian. Who knew.

as a French kid i had no idea what the English songs on the radio were about. Did not bother me at all. now i listen to a lot of Russian music. it started with Russian rap as it is great party/ drinking music, and it evolved in mellower folk/ indie stuff. i understand maybe 5% of the lyrics.

Rap/Reggae? This is currently trending on IG (and others likely)
