“Good Morning” Verbal Jint featuring Kwon Jung Yeol The song brings out vulnerability from toughest men and women alike with aching lyrics all identified with this year.ġ3. “Same Love, Same Farewell” Urban ZakapaĬo-ed band Urban Jakapa’s “Same Love, Same Farewell” is a dramatic ballad that immediately sucks the listeners into the painful world of heartbreak with its members’ powerhouse vocals. That’s exactly what rookie group SPICA’s “Painkiller” was - a simple, R&B-inspired single that put the spotlight on their vocals making them one of the most impressive rookie groups of the year.ġ4. In the hyper-stylized world of K-pop, sometimes a track to truly show off your act’s talent is all it needs to make an impression. The melodic rap ballad has an earworm of a chorus along with the duo’s talent for vivid lyricism and sharp flow over sophisticated beats made the song an instant heartbreak anthem.
The hip-hop heavyweights Dynamic Duo proved they didn’t miss a beat from their lengthy hiatus. The track put his talent at the forefront in comparison to silliness seen in single “Crayon.” With a knocking hip-hop beat that today’s biggest rappers would kill for, the BIGBANG leader showed off his impressive knack for flow and lyrics with his EP’s opening track. The dark disco feel of miss A’s “Touch” showed a true change of form from the foursome’s previous cutesy single “Good-bye Baby.” The track got about as sexy as miss A could legally get as member Suzy was still not an adult in Korea (the legal age is 19), but expect an even more mature evolution when she does turn 19 next year. While EDM acts like Calvin Harris and Kaskade saw bigtime crossover success this year, The Koxx could give them a run for their money with “Love Dance.” The indie band got dance-y with sputtering synthesizers with the song’s best moment coming when its chorus builds to a moment of rock euphoria. With a thumping bass and emotional piano backing, the duo paired their ethereal vocals with hulking roars and further proved why they have lasted in this industry for over a decade. The K-Pop kings came back this year with a major electronic track.
