The 100 Best K-Pop Songs of All-Time: 20-11

Posted on July 21, 2020 by Nick • 53 Comments

In celebration of The Bias List’s fifth year anniversary, I’ve embarked on my most ambitious project yet. After years of hemming and hawing, I’ve finally ranked what I consider to be the best 100 songs in K-pop. There will never be a definitive list of this nature, because it’s impossible to rank something that’s inherently … Continue reading →

Song Review: Red Velvet – Irene & Seulgi – Naughty

Posted on July 19, 2020 by Nick • 14 Comments

I really wish that I enjoyed Irene and Seulgi’s Monster more than I do. I love a good badass, female-fronted comeback, but the track’s droning vocal loop just sounds like bad Halloween to me. Because of this, I’m happy to see that they’re promoting the superior Naughty (놀이) as a follow-up. While Naughty doesn’t bring … Continue reading →

Song Review: EXO-SC – 1 Billion Views (ft. Moon)

Posted on July 13, 2020 by Nick • 6 Comments

I’ve been pretty hard on EXO-SC’s music thus far, but that’s just because I adore EXO’s discography and it’s been difficult to see any sub-unit get sucked into the dreaded trap-rap wormhole. I get that SC is designed to be different than EXO’s core style, but hip-hop can be so much more diverse than what … Continue reading →

Song Review: EXO-SC – Telephone (ft. 10cm)

Posted on July 7, 2020 by Nick • 11 Comments

EXO-SC’s 2019 debut spurred plenty of ire from this site. To me, it represented SM Entertainment’s full embrace of mainstream hip-hop. The agency who reliably delivered summer classics like Red Flavor, View and Love Me Right would now equate the season with lethargic trap-rap. It remains to be seen if that prediction will completely bear … Continue reading →
