With 2018 on the horizon, it may seem like K-pop is finally running out of steam for the year — this week, however, is proving us wrong:
“Beautiful” – Wanna One
Wanna One makes it hard not to fall in love, especially with this dramatic, emotional ballad aptly titled “Beautiful.”
“Thirsty” – Taemin
Listeners were captivated by Taemin’s “Move” upon the song’s release, and now the K-pop star is following up his hit with “Thirsty,” a sultry, haunting song that’ll have you reaching for a glass of water.
“Shall We Dance?” – Block B
Block B’s latest release channels the energy of past songs like “Nillili Mambo” and “NalinA” but manages to infuse the track with just enough freshness to keep it interesting.
“Twinkle” – Lovelyz
Lovelyz is looking ahead to Christmas in this bombastic techno-pop ballad that offers the bell-like vocals that fans have come to love from the girls.
“Bye Babe” – Chen & 10cm
Two of our favorite K-pop vocalists harmonizing to a feel-good acoustic track is the best thing we never knew we needed.
What’s your favorite new release?
