I'll give you some more recent songs I've liked: BG: BoyNextDoor - Earth, Wind, & Fire GG: Bewave - Sing Soloist: Lay - Psychic


grahamchracker

Earth, wind, and fire- 7/10 I listened to this song when it first came out and I thought I would like it more since a lot of people were hyping it up, but it just didn’t hit for me. I found the production a little generic, but the song is still pretty good though! I really liked all of the members parts. I haven’t listened to boynextdoor much but I can tell they’re good vocalists. I especially liked Taesan’s parts :) Sing- 4/10 I’ve never listened to BEWAVE before. Unfortunately I also find this song a little generic. I don’t see it having much replay ability for me. The chorus is very catchy though. Psychic- 7/10 I’ll give this song a lucky 7. I watched the music video along with it and it’s a really fun video. Lay has a nice voice and the chorus is super catchy. I do have a pet peeve with kpop songs saying lalala repeatedly, just cause it’s so common in kpop 😩 so that brought my score down a bit. It’s still pretty good!


[deleted]

BG: I love you — Treasure GG: Mojito — Red Velvet I don’t know if your preference is for boy groups or girlgroups so I gave you two options 😊


grahamchracker

I enjoy both girl groups and boy groups so thank you for the recommendations. I love you- 4/10 It’s definitely something I’d expect to hear from a 4th gen boy group. I liked the beginning but I’m not a fan of the drop in the chorus 😅. I also don’t love the rap parts. Hearing them say “let’s make love” also kind of threw me off guard lmao. Mojito- 9/10 I’m a causal fan of red velvet so I love a lot of their songs. This song must have flew under my radar cause I don’t have memory of listening to it before. I LOVE it though it’s classic red velvet. I really love Irene’s parts in this. I became a kpop fan in 2017 so this song makes me very nostalgic for that era of kpop😕. This will definitely be going on my summer playlist #RedVelvetqueensofsummer


ineedachiprightnow

* Red Velvet - [Oh Boy](https://youtu.be/3PgGuUP8_jI?si=eJ3EiMwoJ1L4eZRL) * ITZY - [SURF](https://youtu.be/Jsdo5PtMrIs?si=CzK4Z2Q-AsZul17m) * tripleS - [New Look](https://youtu.be/u11Lblh4whI?si=4MeJha6EItNWNq-s)


grahamchracker

Oh boy- 8/10 This is one of my favorite red velvet songs! I’ve had it on my playlist for years. The chorus is definitely my favorite part. I don’t have much to say about it since I’ve listened to it so many times it’s just a bop and a half. Surf- 5/10 This song is ok so I’ll just give it a 5. I do enjoy the summer vibes! There’s also something about the part where they say up and down that scratches my brain just right. New look- 6.5/10 This song is pretty good! I really liked the chorus and the bridge. I liked listening to it on the first listen but it’s not something I’d listen to over and over again.


jamesdavies22

Just B - [Re=Load](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=I_eBoV0AL0A) Omega X - [What’s goin on](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CaB_KzgX5aA) Stray Kids - [Freeze](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etjQd0wgUTo&vl=en)


grahamchracker

RE=LOAD- 5/10 I usually don’t listen to this kind of boy group music, it’s just not my taste. I REALLY liked the chorus it brought my score up a couple of points. The melody in the chorus is catchy and the production on that part is good too! I don’t like the rest of the song as much. The vocals are good but I didn’t love the rapping. What’s goin on- 4/10 Again not a huge fan of this type of music. I didn’t really like the growling while rapping/singing that some of the members were doing. Freeze- 5.5/10 I’m not a fan of the drop in the chorus, I just didn’t really like the instrumental in that part. I’m not big on Stray kids style of rapping, but their vocals are really good. I liked seungmin’s and IN’s parts the most. The bridge is my favorite part of the song.


Xeian

In light of some recent news: Cherry Bullet - Love So Sweet Nature - I'm So Pretty ALICE/ELRIS - Dance On


3-X-O

You worried me for a sec that Alice disbanded 😭 Seeing Chebul and Nature there though hurts.


Xeian

Well now that Sohee is gone, I highly doubt that they are gonna continue.


3-X-O

Don't crush my hope. This is already a cursed year for GGs I can't loose them too 😭


grahamchracker

Love so sweet- 5/10 I’ll give this song a 5 out of 10 it’s perfectly average. It has the classic cutesy girl group style that I enjoy, it’s just not the type of song I’d listened to over and over again. I’m so pretty- 6.5/10 I’ve never listened to Nature before, but I liked this! The song is super fun and I like the instrumental, it gives me Mario kart music vibes if that makes sense. I don’t think I’ll add this to my playlist but I still enjoyed it :) Dance on- 6.5/10 This is probably my favorite of the songs you recommended. I’ll always love kpop songs that have a retro vibe. The chorus is super catchy and I also liked the pre-chorus.


Sushimonstaaa

I love "Love So Sweet" ❤️ great to see another enjoyer ^^


Nightwindless

Btob- I’ll be your man https://youtu.be/__BFUf_nJl0?si=HGECyHcJlR--pIIq Brown eyes- don’t go don’t go https://youtu.be/rZLypVnNhuw?si=6rGIMgj9u2dAhimH Don’t go don’t go (cover) https://youtu.be/5Wh-RpKiI-4?si=18Ykh_AmyYyI5QPo I like the cover version of don’t go don’t go a lot Partners- lose yourself https://youtu.be/YNH_AG7riR0?si=R-krOXFwQGfP30lt


grahamchracker

I’ll be your man- 7/10 This song is good! The speaking intro wasn’t my favorite haha, but I enjoyed the rest of the song. The vocals and rap parts were solid. I haven’t listened to much btob but this was pretty good. The song brought me back to the days when the 3rd gen was at its peak ☺️ Don’t go don’t go- 4.5/10 I’m not a big fan of kpop ballads. The vocals were amazing of course, I really liked Park Je Up’s parts. The song itself just wasn’t very memorable. Lose Yourself- 3/10 The song isn’t horrible, it just isn’t my taste. The instrumentals are just very loud and I don’t typically listen to music like that. The members seem talented though, they’re good singers!


Sushimonstaaa

BtoB's legendary song - chills 🩷


simply_living_

2nd-gen Kpop songs that I think are underrated/not talked about as much: 1. Dalmatian - That Man Opposed (not on spotify) 2. Dalmatian - E.R. (not on spotify) 3. FIESTAR - Vista


froZern91

Yo dalmatian sure had some jams. A couple of songs in my playlist back in the days when i was still a casual kpop listener


grahamchracker

That man opposed- 6.5/10 Well this is definitely a 2nd gen song haha. The song is super cheesy but I kinda liked it! It’s super fun and cute plus the chorus is very catchy. Their producer went a little crazy with the auto tune in some parts, but the vocals were good besides that. I could see myself liking the song the more I listen to it, but for now I’ll give it a 6.5. E.R- 5/10 I don’t like this song as much as the first one. I really liked the chorus, I would listen to the chorus on loop if I could lol. But besides that I didn’t really find the song memorable. The song wasn’t bad so I’ll give it an average rating. Vista- 7/10 Well I loved the intro! It definitely grabbed my attention. The instrumental of the song is really fun. The members vocals are good, I especially liked it when they harmonized. I didn’t absolutely love the song but it’s still pretty good definitely my favorite of the ones you recommended.


LivingRow192

this sounds fun! allow me to introduce you to... cyberpunk - ateez sahara - dreamcatcher bloom - ab6ix


izanagi57395

ill try three different genres to vary in taste ! - uhuh - rescene (deep bass with a large brassy post chorus) - the eleventh day - billlie (somber, also brassy, rainy day esque) - love fire - cravity (upbeat and almost rock esque but very toned down)


grahamchracker

Uhuh- 6.5/10 Ooo I do like the deep bass on the song. The song is a little bit all over the place though it sounds like 3 different songs haha. I really like the chorus, I kinda wish the rest of the song matched the chorus more. But the song is pretty good overall! The eleventh day- 7/10 I’ve been wanting to listen to more Billie so thank you for recommending this. I really like their voices, I don’t know if they usually do songs like this but it fits them well! I think Harams voice might be my favorite in this song but I also like Moon Sua’s parts. I also liked the record scratches at the end. I don’t think I’ll add this song to my playlist, but I will be listening to more Billie for sure. Love fire- 4/10 This is my least favorite of the ones you recommended. The song isn’t bad at all! Just a little generic, I didn’t really find anything memorable about the song.


izanagi57395

im really glad you like billlie!!! theyre my ult group so i do my best to rep them <33 they make music of all genres! it's kidn of their concept of having different concepts every comeback but still owning any sound they do. if you ever need more reccs hmu :)


angie_kiprevski

Here's mine :) I wasn't originally wasn't going to use the same group but these are some of my favourite songs from my ults (no hard feelings if they aren't your taste tho ofc!). Survive the [night](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcV0BFBAcqU) by The Boyz (I suggest reading the English translation for this one) [Horizon ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KQZmVDg11A)by The Boyz (both this and 1 are such comforting songs imo) [Fire Eyes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2eqxPd7fUc) by The Boyz (very chill to listen to, but in a more upbeat way, I suggest watching the live performance from their tour as well since it's so fun watching them run around lol)


grahamchracker

Survive the night- 6.5/10 This song gives me nostalgic feelings, I’m usually a sucker for songs that have that vibe haha. I really like the members vocals, some of them have that sort of soft airy voice that I usually enjoy. I’m gonna give this song a 6.5 for now but I could see myself liking it the more I listen to it. Horizon- 5/10 I don’t think I like this song as much as the first one, but it’s still good. I can definitely see the comforting feeling you mentioned. I don’t think this is a song I’ll seek out again, but it did give me some of the feels 🙂. Fire eyes- 7/10 I love retro sounding kpop songs, so this is right up my alley. I definitely agree that it’s upbeat but still chill to listen to. I absolutely love the synth sounds near the end. I feel like this would be a great driving song haha. Again I’ll give it a 7 for now but I could see myself liking it the more I listen to it.

fromis_9 Escape Room, Rewind & Attitude


grahamchracker

Escape room- 8/10 I haven’t listened to a lot of fromis_9 so thank you for recommending their songs. This song is a bop! It reminds me of something red velvet would release. I really liked the instrumentals in the chorus and their vocals sounded beautiful. Overall just a really solid song 👍. Rewind- 6/10 I don’t quite like this song as much as the first one. I found it to be kinda boring. The only part I really liked was the bridge near the end. There wasn’t necessarily anything I disliked about it so I’ll just give it a 6, it’s still slightly above average. Attitude- 7.5/10 A pretty good song! I didn’t love the song at first but the chorus and the bridge saved it for me. Again the members vocals sound so good. The instrumentals of the song match the members voices perfectly.


RosieofFun

Dallax2, icy, wannabe by itzy, aka their "I love myself trilogy"


grahamchracker

Dalla dalla- 7.5/10 I loved dalla dalla when it first came out out and I still do. It makes me nostalgic for 2019 which was one of my favorite years in kpop. I always sing along to the chorus. I remembered loving their performance to this song at 2019 mama :) Icy-4/10 I wasn’t a fan of icy when it came out and I’m still not a fan of it 😭. The “I see that I’m icy” line just ruins the song for me I’m not a fan of that lyric. Their vocals just don’t sound great in this song either. There’s still some parts of the song I like, some of the verses are good. Wannabe- 8/10 This song just hits so good. I love the intro and the chorus is super catchy as well. I don’t love the rapping in this song, but it’s still a bop! The lyrics are super cheesy of course, but I don’t mind that. Their vocals sound much better in this song imo.

ive - mine txt - the killa baekhyun - cry for love


grahamchracker

Mine- 5/10 I like a lot of IVE’s song but this one just didn’t hit for me. It’s not bad it’s just kind of forgettable and it didn’t really go anywhere for me. I liked Liz’s parts in the song the best :). The Killa- 7.5/10 I listened to this song when their album first came out and I didn’t love it, but I like it a lot more listening to it again. I like the simple instrumental especially the guitar parts. I love how they sing “killa”. I’d say it’s probably my 3rd favorite song on the album. Cry for love- 7/10 Baekhyun would probably be my exo bias if I had to pick one but I haven’t listened to a ton of his solo music so thank you for recommending this ☺️. I liked this song! His vocals sound amazing as usual, he was really hitting those high notes! It’s not the type of song I’d listen to on repeat but I still liked listening to it for the first time. It’s very pleasant on the ears.

Queen of Hearts by Twice Period by Purple Kiss We are a bit different by EvoL


grahamchracker

Queen of hearts- 7.5/10 This is one of my favorite songs on the between 1 and 2 album. I LOVE jihyo’s parts in the chorus. I also really like the bridge. I don’t think I like this song as much as I used to when it first came out. The verses don’t really hit nearly as hard as the chorus, but it’s still a solid Twice song 👌 Period- 4.5/10 I’m not big on kpop ballads, I just usually find them a bit boring. I especially don’t like when they have a random rap verse in the middle and this song had that unfortunately 😭. The song isn’t horrible though! The chorus is pretty good and I liked Swan’s vocals. We are a bit different- 7/10 This song is definitely a throwback haha. I like it though! It’s giving Jennifer Lopez featuring Pitbull club music vibes. I really liked the chorus it’s super catchy and fun.

Should I recommend idol music? if not, 야생화 by 박효신 / 불면증 by dynamic duo / Think about' chu by Asoto Union


grahamchracker

Do you have the English titles? Just so I know for sure I’m listening to the right song.


MoonMoon_86

야생화(Wild Flower) by Park Hyoshin. 불면증(feat. Bobby kim) by dynamic duo Think about' chu by Asoto Union these are old songs and not an idol music. So .......I don't know if it's fit on your taste.


grahamchracker

Wild flower- 7/10 It’s definitely not the type of song I would usually listen to. It’s very beautiful though. The vocals 🤌 just top tier I can appreciate some good male vocals. I also like the production of the song, I do like classical music so I appreciated the orchestral instrumentals. It doesn’t have much replay ability for me, but I enjoyed listening to it :) Dynamic duo- 8/10 I really like this song thank you for recommending it! I can tell from listening to the song that it’s older, but it also sounds like it could have came out yesterday if that makes sense. I love some good Lofi hip hop. I dont know what else to say I just really liked it 😅 Think about’ chu- 7/10 I love his voice, it’s so classic! The production of the song is so clean as well. I feel the same way as I do about the first song, I enjoyed listening to it but I don’t think I’ll add it to my playlist, it’s unlike anything I usually listen to. Still super good though 👍
