I've heard of them, but I don't think I've gotten around to listening to them.

I find that I listen to the album Antikörper a lot - mainly while getting ready in the morning. I have it timed so that when the title track comes along (track 4), it means I should be getting out of the shower. As a result, I know the first half of the album really well...the rest, not so much! ;)

Not sure how I found the Icelandic trio Kælan Mikla, but I do like their song "Kalt", which is on YouTube,.

 

Other than that, often I hear a Latin show on kEXP, but don't know the artists.

Recently I found out about Sami rap. I don't understand a word, but this stuff has a good attitude.

This Russian-language song is a welcome respite from the usual holiday fare in my opinion.

 

This channel’s usual content is live-action skits of animated/video game characters, and a few one-off characters to round out the cast.

I listen to a lot of Early Music and Classical music and from there I get a lot of languages such as French, German, Italian, and Latin. Pop music, though? I barely have any at all that isn't English.

 

Perhaps my favorite work in Latin that is from a later era than the Renaissance or Baroque:

 

And I know my music isn't that interesting so I'll just post one more... An Italian late medieval work sung by a pop artist (don't expect it to be pop because a pop artist is singing it. It is still very medieval and lovely!):

@alsjeblieft The part of the Siddartha videoclip where the man had his face pieced together like a puzzle was very original.

 

Here's a Slovenian classic, at least based on what I'm reading on YT.

 

And here's something in Basque (and French?)
