Looking Back: The Top Three K-Pop Songs of November 2015

Posted on August 11, 2019 by Nick • 4 Comments

Since the start of The Bias List in January 2016, I’ve always looked back at my three favorite title tracks by K-pop artists each month. Now, it’s time to look even further into the past, one month at a time. And, yes, the top three rankings count toward The Bias List’s personal artist scorecard! Which … Continue reading →

Top Three K-Pop Songs of October 2018

Posted on October 31, 2018 by Nick • 8 Comments

At the end of each month, I look back at my three favorite title tracks by K-pop artists. I take my own ratings into account, but there’s a bit of wiggle room as certain songs tend to grow or fade. October 2018 Overall Thoughts October was like one of those Halloween horror movies with a twist … Continue reading →

Song Review: Lee Hongki – Cookies (ft. Jung Ilhoon)

Posted on October 18, 2018 by Nick • 5 Comments

When I think of the artists I would have pegged to go the tropical route, Lee Hongki wouldn’t have even entered the conversation. As the front man of rock band FTIsland, his raspy, powerful voice seems too intense for the style, easily becoming the focal point of anything he records. But as last week’s oddball … Continue reading →

Song Review: Lee Hongki – I Am (with Cheetah)

Posted on October 9, 2018 by Nick • 1 Comment

Lee Hongki’s 2015 solo album was a surprisingly diverse affair. It may have been led by a big, theatrical ballad in the vein of his group’s 2012 hit Severely, but the b-sides offered a range of sounds that dabbled in dance and synthpop. In other words, it was exactly what a solo album should be … Continue reading →

K-Pop Producer Spotlight: Steven Lee

Posted on September 11, 2018 by Nick • 1 Comment

If there’s anything I’ve learned from covering pop music for over a decade, it’s that songwriters and collaborators are just as important as the artists themselves. Though they often work behind the scenes, this feature is a chance to shine the light on some of k-pop’s most innovative and accomplished producers and composers. Steven Lee … Continue reading →

Top 50 K-Pop Songs of 2015: Part One (50-26)

Okay, okay. When I say kpop, I mean mostly kpop, because there’s going to be some jpop and cpop in this list as well (some of it in very prominent positions), but “Top 50 K-Pop & J-Pop & C-Pop Songs of 2015” just doesn’t have the same ring to it! The only other criteria for … Continue reading →

Lee Hongki – Insensible

Posted on December 23, 2015 by Nick • 5 Comments

Insensible is an awkward name for a song, but I love me a big power rock ballad. Hongki is the lead vocal of Korean rock group FTIsland, and because of this I was expecting a straight-up rock sound from his new solo album. To my surprise (and delight), the album incorporates a lot more dance … Continue reading →
