© Courtesy of Nayoung by Mary Sue TWICE on her solo debutThere's never a quiet year in the world of K-pop — the industry as a whole moves much faster than its Western counterpart, and each year is filled with comebacks and debuts that draw fans and fans alike. Month.
And you also have to take into account the generational change. While the fourth generation definitely hasn't arrived in 2022 and some of the groups that come with it are pretty well established in the industry, there are still new groups that have stepped in and are ready to push these new frontiers of K- to claim Popular .
All of this means that 2022 has plenty of great musical moments to offer, which is why here we rank the top 11 songs released in the last 12 months. Of course my personal tastes went into the form of this list and I also chose to add some B-sides rather than just focus on the title as we all know that sometimes real gems lie beneath. track list!
11. "Crazy" stray kids
"Maniac" is the lead single from Stray Kids' sixth mini-album Oddinary and the educational program Stray Kids. Strong, full of charisma and makes perfect use of Lee Felix's deep voice which is always a bonus for a Felix girl. I love Stray Kids tracks in general and "Maniac" was no exception, although it doesn't quite live up to 2021's "Thunderous" which is why "Maniac" is at the bottom of this ranking. .
10. 28 reasons, Seulgi
Seulgi's long-awaited solo debut lived up to expectations and didn't disappoint. The title track of the self-titled EP is everything we know about Seulgi today, in all her velvety glory - powerful and sexy, slightly magical, downright dangerous, downright charming. Although the book came out in the second half of the year, 28 Reasons Why definitely made a name for itself in my book in 2022, at least, although I've had more time to like other publications that have found. at the top of this list. We look forward to more releases in this aesthetic because Seulgi embodies it.
9. "Pop!" , NA YOUNG
It's time for the face of TWICE, Naeun, to make her solo debut - something she shares with many other artists in her third generation. The lead single from his self-titled debut EP was definitely the refreshing summer song we all needed, all as bubbly, fun and colorful as it gets - something like "old TWICE", made perfect for 2022. And not to forget the friendliness!
8. Sleep, Sunmi
I'm a Sunmi fan first and then a human. Let's put it there. She is hands down my favorite K-Pop soloist right now and I have loved all of her releases and Heartburn is no exception. I particularly liked the pacing, which is slower than you'd expect from a summertime K-pop release - the perfect musical representation, in my opinion, of how everything calms down when it's really hot. However, it doesn't rank higher because, like Maniac, I don't think it's on the same level as some of his earlier releases that I liked better, like "Heroine" and "LALALAY". An everlasting classic, of course, "gashina".
7. "Thursday's kid has a long way to go." TXT
I'll be completely honest and admit that the first thing that drew me to the b-side of the fourth Korean version of TXT, Episode II: Children's Child was the name - because my high school English teacher asked the whole class for it did learn this rhyme as homework? Most likely. Thing is, "Thursday Baby Got a Long Distance" has everything I usually love about TXT songs - an upbeat beat with hints of nostalgia and melancholy about the horrifying process of growing up.
6. UNDERWATER, KWON EUNBI
Although IZ*ONE disbanded in 2021 and their leader Kwon Eun Bi debuted as a soloist that same year, she really started to dive into her solo career in 2022 - and that's thanks to "Underwater", the lead man. A single from his third and final EP, Lethality, a single from his Killer . Of course I've looked at the rest of his work, and while Glitch is a good example of a futuristic concept, there's just something about Underwater that really intrigues and draws me in, with my personal taste - something that reminds me of apink music. It's "magically cute" and definitely one of my favorite finds this year.
5. "Not Heavenly", The Seraphim
I found out about the debut of new girl group Source Music and the massive success of their debut single "Fearless", but didn't find out until their second release, the Antifragile EP and B-side "No Heavenly". I love everything about No Celestial, from the soundtrack's echoes of early 2000s teen movies to the overarching message, which fits perfectly with the band's angelic name. I really hope that during Le Sserafim's career we will see more of this type of music as they progress from beginners to experienced artists.
4. Close-up, BLACKPINK
Speaking of veteran artists, BLACKPINK's recent comeback certainly deserves a spot on this list, especially since Born Pink 's debut single "Shut Down" is arguably one of the best songs the group has released worldwide in their entire career. Loud, rap-leaning, and full of nods to the Pinks' earlier work, "Shut Down" is arguably the best of their second album, which was generally a very mixed bag of good songs and songs that should have stayed. on the YG disk.
3. Loves diving, IVE
Starship Entertainment's new girl group, which includes two former IZ*ONE members, Wonyoung and Eugene, debuted in late 2021 but wasn't actually born until 2022. Her second single "Love-Dive" made the greatest contribution to her success. is a wonderful, romantic and mysterious song at the same time, definitely one of the K-pop songs of 2022.
2. "Run BTS", BTS
Yes, "Not Yet To Come," the title track from BTS Proof 's anthology album, was a sweet tribute to the history of BTS, ARMY, their decades-long career, and the promise that the group will have a bright future. When all members begin to prepare for registration. But "run BTS"? Oh, "Run BTS" is what BTS was created for, a powerful song full of quiet confidence, polished choreography and lyrics that thank each member by name. To be honest my eyebrows have been burning since the album came out last June.
1. "That's it" with PSY. Desire
It's song of the year 2022 in my very humble opinion . He even says it in the first few lines - he has to take the first place. Jokes aside, "This" is definitely a huge song. First, it's the title track of Psy's ninth studio album after four years without new music and a collaboration between two of South Korea's most influential artists. But most of all, it's full of energy and funky vibes, with its colorful western aesthetic and catchy beats. Not a day has passed since it was released that I haven't given it a listen and I hope it dominates my Spotify Wrapped because it deserves it.
