Likely Haram (2/5). Under Ayatollah Sistani's jurisprudence (A Code of Practice For Muslims in the West, Book 46, pp. 258-268), the determining criterion is the Expert Recognition Test: whether the tune type itself is 'suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings' (majālis al-lahw wal-la'ib).

Likely Halal (4/5). Under Ayatollah Khamenei's 3-component framework (Official Q&A 1121-1123; Ghena va Moseghi course, Session 314), music is prohibited only if it is lahwī (causing heedlessness from Allah and driving toward sin) and suitable for gatherings of sin.
