I’ve seen the Billboard lists and people making their own on various forums, but I wanted to share mine here. Let me know if you have similar music taste as me or where you would rank these songs on your own list (if at all)! @turtuallysarcastic@carmen@nightmoon@bcampbell1662@doublefault
11. Obsession – EXO
EXO’s harmonies send shivers right to my soul. The smooth chorus is a killer contrast to the hard-hitting verses. This song makes me feel deranged as the distorted background vocals chant “I want you”, perfectly transporting me into the emotions at the center of this track.
I didnt start listening to EXO until this year. A mix of a deep dive ep on them on the podcast I listen to and Tempo. So, Tempo and Love Shot feel like 2019 releases to me. I love their harmonies and all the ways they use their voices. Nice to hear Kai in this one.
I have to admit that I did not like Obsession when I initially listened to it. Several listens in and I’m hooked. I quite like the opening “I want you” and the rap parts. I miss D.O.’s vocals, though. The live performances of Obsession have been fun to watch. This song is probably in my top 5 for 2019.
I miss D.O.’s vocals, too. I was nervous about a comeback without all of the members, but I think they managed to make it feel whole. Chen did an amazing job in taking on some of the more intense vocal moments.

I’ve enjoyed this comeback. It’s got a strong concept.
