A Year in K-Pop: A Starter Kit

by Daniela

I feel like I apologise way toomuch for not posting  so I'll make it quick. Sorry for being away for a
little over a year! And now that's over and done with, let's get right into it!

So what's been happening in the year we've been away? The answer to that dear reader is that I've been digging my teeth into the world of K-Pop. It started with one music video and now I'm here one year later with playlists full if it.


So here we go! This is my year in Kpop

f(x) - 4 Walls

Album: 4 Walls
Why you should listen: It's f(x)'s long awaited comeback since the
departure of Sulli in 2014. This single caught me by surprise with
it's house vibe. Compared to their past releases, this one caught me bysurprise and it's nice to hear Amber actually singing more than rapping. Actually the whole album caught me by surprise. 4 Walls as an album is a work that I recommend as a whole.
Other Notable Releases: X, Diamond (but really everything on the 4 Walls Album is gold.)

 

 

 

SHINee - Married to the Music

Album: Married to the Music (Repackage)
Why you should listen: This was the first Kpop song that actually
encouraged me to have a look at an entire album. It is also the song
that I first recommend to other people. I have mentioned before that I love a good brass section and the chorus is all about that. And the
music video is a lot of fun to watch as well with its Halloween, Rocky Horror Picture Show-esque theme.
Other Notable Releases: View, Odd Eye, (the whole album is pretty darn good anyway)
