My rabbi said that it makes no difference on the composer. Rather there are 3 things that matter: the words, the beat, and if it’s a female singer and you’re a guy.

The words: if it has non-kosher words or concepts, you can’t listen to it

The beat: if it’s a very wild beat that will make you want to dance like a member of an African tribe, then it’s a no-no.

If it’s a female singer, and you’re a guy, it’s kol isha.

But you should ask your own rabbi
