Appreciation This song represents KPOP (1 Viewer)

[Day]

What KPOP song to you perfectly captures what KPOP sounds like?

To me, it's EVERGLOW's Dun Dun. She was released 3 years ago, I remember where I was when I first watched this MV, it truly saved my life.

An almost perfect song! I just wish E:U got part of the dance break at the end.

Red Velvet, in general, epitomizes the K-Pop sound I love and the reason I love K-Pop so much.

There are many good examples I could use, but this is a more recent example of their legendary sound.



This song is flawless, IMO. Like much of their catalogue, I can and have spent hours just listening to THIS track.

Back then, it was Sorry Sorry to me and also Step.
Right now, I'm not sure.

Yes, Feel My Rhythm is more than just a sampling of Bach's Air On The G String. It's more like a collab. Many parts of the Red Velvet song (e.g., the bass line, violin 2 line) are taken from the classical piece. I've listened to it for many hours and am still discovering things.

For example, it was only a few weeks ago that I realized the bass line at the beginning of verse 2 has a pedal point.

Here's an explanation of a pedal point



and here's verse 2 (its pedal point is higher than the rest of the bass line)
