Jamiroquai’s “Cosmic Girl” blends disco-funk revival with ’90s electronic flair, boasting syncopated rhythms and galactic-inspired lyrics, though its mechanical edge may feel rigid. Critics like Caroline Sullivan liken its harmonies to Earth, Wind & Fire, and David Morales’ remixes add sleekness, though they lose some of the track’s quirky charm. Green Day’s “Longview” stands out as a slacker anthem, its iconic bassline wrapping themes of boredom and inertia in sharp humor, with Billie Joe Armstrong’s delivery perfectly matching its restless energy.
Cher’s “Believe” marked a bold reinvention with its Auto-Tune effect, making it a defining pop track of the late ’90s, earning Grammys and dominating charts globally. Nirvana’s “Lithium” encapsulates Cobain’s balance of spiritual tension and raw vulnerability, becoming a mainstay of “Nevermind” and a radio favorite. 2Pac’s “All About U” pairs a laid-back funk beat with biting commentary on fame, while Boyz II Men’s tearful “It’s So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday” showcases a cappella brilliance, though it leans into emotional over-polish.

Prince’s sultry ballad “Do Me, Baby” oozes intimacy, while Earth, Wind & Fire’s “After the Love Has Gone” balances glossy production with rich harmonics. Janet Jackson’s breezy “When I Think of You” exudes ’80s charm, and The Temptations’ edgy “Cloud Nine” pushes psychedelic boundaries.
