Okay-pop is suffering from acts who – for one motive or one other – didn’t get the total highlight they deserved. I’ve spent loads of time rating and reviewed the trade’s greatest artists, however these underrated acts ought to by no means be forgotten.
This characteristic will check out disbanded teams and rank/charge their whole singles run, inserting them within the pantheon of Okay-pop historical past.
Subsequent up is BEATWIN!
Profession timeline: 2014-2017
General sound: Adopted the whims of fashionable Okay-pop developments, however with very robust vocals.
6. Don’t Depart (2017)
Ah, the unhappy disbandment ballad. That is higher than most, although.
Score: 7.5
5. Stalker (2015)
The group returned with a harder-edged sound that matched Okay-pop’s growing hip-hop influences on the time. The militant refrain is tons of enjoyable, although.
Score: 8
4. Rising Solar (2016)
This doesn’t really feel like an enormous musical assertion, however the melodies and vocal efficiency are beautiful and that comes throughout as very refreshing eight years later. (full evaluation)
Score: 8.5
3. Phantasm (2014)
This packs a pleasant wallop with a giant effusive refrain countered by a catchy “da da da” hook. The instrumental’s fairly funky, too.
Score: 8.5
2. She’s My Lady (2014)
I miss the times when random debuts from small businesses packed this a lot punch. She’s My Lady peaks with some good vocal climaxes over its chugging beat.
Score: 8.75
1. Your Lady (2016)
Oh, I like this music. The mix of that ultra-catchy synthline and falsetto-kissed refrain is pure perfection. I used to be at all times shocked this wasn’t produced by Sweetune as a result of it sounds precisely like one in all their songs. (full evaluation)
Score: 9
OVERALL RATING: 8.4
