    I can't believe I forgot about Urban Symphony! They're an Estonian classical/pop crossover band who once represented them in Eurovision in 2009. Sadly, they only have 3 songs.

    I love this Spanish indie band called Zoe unplugged. Also like Japanese and Chinese music, including some of the more traditional songs.

    This is a very sad song that hits me right in the feels only because its in my mother's native tongue (Tuvaluan). But it is a very beautiful tribute.

    in my italian class, we listen to a lot of music and it's so much better than america's mainstream landfill. aside from that, one of my favorite songs is "99 Luftballons" by Nena which is believe is in german, and if this counts, "Girl Loves Me" by David Bowie is sung in mainly english, but there are words and phrases derived from "nadsat," which is a fictional language used in the book "a clockwork orange." most of those words are extracted from slavic languages, mainly serbian and russian.

    As an Anime fan I tend to listen to a lot of Japanese music. I own a couple soundtracks from Cowboy Bebop and one from the Japanese-American singer Angela Aki (hers is an album of American songs covered in Japanese). I'll also occasionally check out music in other languages and save something if I like the sound of it. Je ne sais pas choisir by Emily Loizeau is a quirky little song about the inability to choose ranging from the mundane to the darkly amusing.

    Japanese metal is good, like the stuff they have in anime. There is this really nice French song I like called Aline - Christophe, but it's really different to my normal music taste. There's also a cool German band called Ramstein (I think)

    These two were more or less my introduction to music with different language lyrics.

    You don't need to understand lyrics to like a song. I listen to Japanese and Korean songs.
    My utmost favorite to listen to is Korean. It's a beautiful language.
    Mamamoo is an amazing group. IU is pretty good too. Another Oh Hae Young has a pretty good ost.
