Most of the music I listen to is in a different language

I'm English.... most of my favourite singers are Japanese, Korean or Chinese

My favourite singer for example:



^^^ the advert/preview for her upcoming Best of + 8th Original album

Also... she was able to cover an English song and greatly improve it

of course i would. icelandic, polish, russian, german... even gibberish made-up languages.

sometimes i prefer it if i can't understand the lyrics - i can just appreciate the music as pure sound.

Depends. If the accent dectracts from the quality of the music, then no. Otherwise, as long as the musical aspect is good, of course.

The only music I listen to that are in a different languages are ones where I find the beat enjoyable. Either then that, no thank you.

Disgusting, but admittedly, it is a catchy tune. As all pop tunes nowadays are tailored so that basically anyone can remember them instantly.
But on topic: if you like foreign music I recommend googling/youtubing a dutch band called 'blof' (e.g. their albums 'Umoja', 'Oktober'). excellent easy rock. It's a pity if you can't understand them because their lyrics are brilliant too!

although I don't understand a word from portuguese, I find this language beautiful and like Brazilian songs and Br. jazz

Of course, there is some fantastic foreign music out there. Some of my favourites are Buena Vista social club, Tazenda ( a sardinian rock/folk band) and Serge Gainsbourg.

I sometimes enjoy the fact I dont understand the words and it helps add to the music and I find you listen to the music as a whole rather than seperating the two.

I definitely would! In fact, I already do listen to music from other countries. Right now, I'm really into Bollywood and Persian music. I first got into it from the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack, that soundtrack is great. I recommend checking it out!

Sure I would! I speak English, Danish and a lot of German, but while most of my music is in English, I also listen to stuff in French, Spanish, Urdu, Arabic and Icelandic..
