Top 15 K-Pop Songs of November 2018 (1 Viewer)

[Wingfrost]

Hello lovely people of KPS

I did these lists at AKP and I thought why not do them here as well? Basically this is where I choose my favorite songs released that month and share with all of you (btw don't feel obligated to read this entire thread I know it's really long lol). To keep a bit of variety I only choose up to two songs for each group/artist. Even though I feel like we're all mature here I just want to clarify, this is just my personal opinion and in no way do I mean anything bad by artists/groups that are not mentioned.
Okay lets get to the list and feel free to share your favorites of November as well, I make these threads so we can chat about songs we all enjoy.


15.
Body Talks - Hotshot
Song Audio

Hotshot is back lets celebrate! While their title track is something I really wasn’t expecting for this comeback I think it showed that they can pull off other concepts well. Body Talks is all around a really great song in my opinion and it’s just the one I’ve found that I play more compared to the rest of the songs on the album.

14
Knock Knock - MXM
MV

I was unsure if I should include this since it’s a remix of a song that was released not too long ago but I felt like I couldn’t leave it out. I think with the remix it added a lot to the song that the previous original release didn’t have and I enjoyed it more because of this change.

13
Say You Love Me - Twice
Lyric Video

To put it simply this song won me over with the chorus. It’s easy and fun to listen to and is extremely catchy to me even though it’s the polar opposite of what I usually listen to lol. I also just really enjoy Jihyo’s voice in this song.

12
Tempo - Exo
MV

Tempo remains my favorite from this album just because I enjoy how different and unique it is (although I could go without the bed creaking sounds but whatever). I think the rapline did really good in this song as well and I love the acapella in the bridge.

11
No Air - The Boyz
MV

I really believe that The Boyz are going to be one of the bigger groups in years to come. They’re all so talented in their own ways and with this newest release I think it shows that they’re willing to continue to grow in their music and show their fans a new side to them.

10
Howler - B.A.P (Zelo Solo)
Lyric Video

I despise that this is probably one of the last releases we’re getting from my faves :(. Besides the sadness of them most likely disbanding soon I love this song and how it just screams: Zelo. He sounds great throughout and it’s also a really fun performance to watch.

9
Sun and Moon - Sam Kim
MV

Sam Kim could literally scream and I would probably say: “Such a beautiful and angelic voice.” This song really just brings me to a happy place whenever I listen to it, it’s very calming and the instrumental has like this hopeful type of vibe for me whenever I listen to it. It’s just an incredibly well put together song and is one I’d recommend to anyone.

8
No More Drama - Mamamoo
Lyric Video

I feel so bad that I wasn’t that big of a fan of their title track Wind Flower because it seemed like everyone liked it and I was the odd one out, but I DID really love this song a lot. I honestly don’t have too much to say though other than that Mamamoo are such talented vocalists.

7
Stealer - D-Crunch
MV

I wasn’t that big of a fan of their debut so I didn’t know what to really expect for this comeback but I was really surprised with how much I enjoyed it. This release just seemed more memorable to me and the MV was better in my opinion. They seem to have a lot of rappers in this group so I hope the vocalists continue to show their vocal abilities more in the future because I really like Hyunwook’s voice.

6
One of Those Nights - Key (Ft. Crush)
MV

I wasn’t that big of a fan of this song when first hearing it but I guess it was just one I had to listen to more to appreciate it. I thought including Crush in this song was a really smart choice because their voices went so well together and please SM can we have another one!?

5
Annoying - B.A.P (Jongup & Zelo)
MV

I love B.A.P, I love this song because it’s fun to listen to, I love the lyrics, the MV is so nice to watch because most of it is literally just them being dorks and goofing off most of the time while also showing some backstage endeavors. On a more serious note I thought the song was really good and you can tell they were going for a carefree lets have fun type of mood for this and I think they achieved that.

4
Help Me - Nu'est W
MV

Ohmdghsgshg! Minhyun will be returning soon I’m so- One thing that I admire with Nu’est is they never seem to go for the style that’s popular, they have their own musical style that sets them apart and while some people may not like that I LOVE it. Baekho has easily become one of my favorite vocalists in K-pop and Ren also really stood out to me in this song as well. Help Me is a very epic, instrumental heavy song and has just so much power in it.

3
Spring Breeze - Wanna One
MV

Who’s cutting the onions!? It's sad to see this group go but I'm still excited to see what all the members will do after the disbandment. Jaehwan has such a lovely and soothing voice he was definitely the one who in my opinion really added so much emotion to the song. Then you combine the vocalists voices with the other members who have deeper voices: Woojin, Guanlin, Daniel and Jihoon and it all ends up really coming together to create a very beautiful song.

2
Loved - Highlight
MV

This is one of those songs where I feel like the chorus is really the killing part and in a way carries the song, not to say the versus are bad because they’re actually pretty good. But I guess what I’m trying to say is that the chorus hits you by surprise with this violin that changes the feel of the song and adds a lot to it.

1
Paradise - TST
MV

I need more songs like this because it was so good! For me this song was all around perfect it had good vocals, great rapping and had a lot of depth to it (Idk how else to explain it). I also love in songs when parts of the rap overlap with the vocals and they did it to where it didn’t sound odd or out of place. Also as a bonus the MV was pretty and the dance looks interesting.

Those were my favorites of last month, what were some of your guys'? Or since we're nearing the end of the year what is your favorite song of 2018?​

I'm surprised you didn't like Wind Flower :0 but No More Drama is one of the best b-sides this year, I'm so proud of Solar and Moonbyul for helping compose it.

I really wish I liked it because I've enjoyed all their other title tracks from this year besides Wind Flower but oh well maybe It'll grow on me :).

Oh I didn't know that they composed it that's so cool! Is that their first time composing one of their songs?

Actually no, Solar has composed some before
I think this is Moonbyul's second time as composer, but she contributes lyrics much more frequently (nearly all of Mamamoo's tracks have Moonbyul credited as lyricist).
