My Top 20 Kpop Songs of 2019

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)!

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.
