Anything Jam Hsiao works, but I really like his song A Love Song For You. I also found out about a group called 製燥者StoryMaker and I absolutely love their song Sin of Sloth. I have so many different songs, mostly vocaloid and other related software, songs that I like that are in Chinese, Japanese, some in Korean, and even a song in Ukrainian that I like, but I ain't doing a super list of songs. I know about 3 quarters of college worth of Japanese, but I still don't consider it a language I speak.

I like most songs by Carla's Dreams (Romanian/Moldovan + Russian). From eurovision, Shum (Ukrainian) and My sister's crown (English+Ukrainian+Czech+Bulgarian) are pretty good. Slavic languages just sound nice in songs.
Also most pop in catalan (eg. La sortida, escriurem, Ara!).
For something rarer check out Pat Boy who sings in Mayan.
September by Mariya Takeuchi.
I like a good amount of Japanese music but that makes my top five songs.
Well I do speak some Spanish but Del Castillo Rios Misticos is such a banger whether you can understand it or not.
The song Inta Omri is gorgeous, look for a Um Kathoum version.
Great thread - I'll throw in a few although I'm late to the party.
Gaspar Nali - Abale Ndikuwuzeni
Anything from the Afro-Cuban All Stars or Buena Vista Social Club albums
Orchestra Baobab - Sey
Mory Kante - Yeke Yeke (Hardfloor mix)
Lexicon Avenue - Here I Am (Rutabaga mix)

I was once exploring Greenlandic music and Nanook was my favorite artist.
This Frederic song was on my feed one day. I had to hunt it down later that week and fortunately it was easy to describe because I found a thread of someone trying to find the same song.
indihome packet phoenix
Ave Maria
All of Sigur Ros. Makes me want to move to Iceland and be confused all day long.
I loved Sigur Ros when they first broke the scene around 1999. I thought it was so beautiful, and angelic, and weirdly transcendent. I wondered what beautiful poetry was being sung in this mystical Icelandic language I did not speak. Then, I learned that it’s not Icelandic. It’s not anything. It’s a made up language that means nothing. It shouldn’t really bother me, but I felt like I had been tricked, and haven’t been able to get past it.

I'm enough of a lyrics person that the language barrier is a pretty big issue when it comes to music but HATRIÐ MUN SIGRA and I si demà no tornara are both undeniable bangers
No idea what this song name is Infected Mushroom - תרקוד לנצח. It's in Hebrew I believe. No idea what it's about, but I think it sounds great. Also Leonard Dembo - Mutadzi Ngaaregererwe. It's just super chill. It's in an African language, can't remember which.
"Ari Im Sokhag", Serj Tankian (system of a down) and Larisa Ryan, very beautiful Armenian song
A bunch of Japanese Metal...
Band Maid - Domination
Neophila - AMA-TE-RAS
Ningen Isu - Heartless Scat
Maximum the Hormone - Koino America
Any from the Buena Vista Social Club, album is beautiful, their song Chan Chan is one of my all time favorites:
I really like Hippie Hourrah out of Montreal - this song has been on repeat in my house for a while now:

Sarà perché ti amo
I love several songs by Welle:Erdballs
Here are a few songs that I started listening to:
Dame veneno by Los Chunguitos.
A lot of j-pop
Olivia Lufkin - Stars shining out
Rammstein - Du Hast
I think nobody posted yet this Finnish duo...This song slaps: Maustetytöt - Syntynyt suruun ja puettu pettymyksin I'm posting this link as it has both subtitles and you get to see them playing, but audio is better in the Studio version.
Since I'm at it...how about some Mongolian metal with throat singing? The HU - Yuve Yuve Yu. Comments on this video are hilarious too.
This video still cracks me up... Bomba Estéreo - Soy Yo
Japanese pop/rock overloaded with traditional instruments and general chaos...Wagakki - Kishikaisei
And...this. Namewee - Makudonarudo
Literally anything by Thievery Corporation, though a lot of their music is in English
