On the finish of every month, I look again at my three favourite title tracks by Okay-pop artists. I take my very own scores under consideration, however there’s a little bit of wiggle room as sure songs are inclined to develop or fade.
December 2022 Total Ideas
December is traditionally a really sluggish month in Okay-pop, however each as soon as and awhile it would shock us. 2022 was not a type of years. Relating to new releases, I can’t keep in mind a latest December as dry as this one. I wrote a grand whole of 13 Okay-pop critiques this month, and a couple of third of these had been for vacation songs.
Due to this, my month-to-month round-up is essentially a formality this time. I’m choosing a prime three as ordinary, however none of those songs have been a staple on my playlist and I’m unlikely to write down about them once more. In reality, I’ve barely listened to Okay-pop in any respect this month. I’ve been listening to rather more J-pop. My prime J-pop monitor of the month has been a selected standout. If you happen to haven’t already, I urge you to take a look at the J-pop countdown I posted final week.
Taking a break like that is really good — particularly on the finish of the yr. However simply because I haven’t been listening to a lot Okay-pop doesn’t imply I haven’t been writing about it. My year-end list-a-palooza is a significant endeavor and crammed a lot of the weblog these previous few weeks. I’ve nonetheless acquired yet another to go (my favourite dramas), however total I’m completely satisfied to show the web page into 2023 and get again to a extra sustainable workload.
Whether or not it in the end bears out or not, I’m all the time crammed with optimism as we head into January. What superb Okay-pop songs are we going to listen to this yr?
