Top 10 K-pop Songs of September!

DISCLAIMER: This my personal opinion - please don't bash or hate on me for it. I'm very open to hearing suggestions of other good songs too!

Welcome! It seems a bit late and weird to start off doing a Top 10 list about September's k-pop songs, but September had a lot to deliver from all ends of the K-pop spectrum. Let us review!

10. SNSD - All My Love is For You. After a successful Japanese comeback with 'Paparazzi', SNSD once again delivered perfection with the nine lovely ladies in 'All My Love is For You' in their fifth Japanese album. It was the perfect way to end the summer and begin september - a clean yet powerful love song. It reminded me of 'Only One' by SNSD's labelmate, BoA. On a personal note - I didn't start to listen/enjoy it until mid-September.

9. BTOB - Wow. BTOB, a rookie group, impressed all with great vocals, intense choreography, and well-acted parts in their MV, 'Wow'. They went out of their typical style, and honed in on Italian beats and background music. 'Wow' is like most other BTOB songs - a love song, talking about a girl they lost, or want. It was a nice comeback - I hope to see more from BTOB in the future!

 

8. Secret - Poison. Secret, returning to the scene with jazzy music, made an impression on all with their strong voices. With Hyosung's birthday amongst their promotional activities for 'Poison', they were bound to attract attention. And they did. It was well-recieved by new and old fans, and has even maintained a position on Mnet's charts after nearly a month of being released.

7. TVXQ - Viva. Like the rest of the songs on the "Catch Me" album, Viva is good enough to be a stand-alone song. It encompasses great vocals, lots of electronic background music, and amazing rapping. Unfortunatley, it doesn't have an MV, so I can't supply a preview picture. Nethertheless, you need to listen to it.

 

6. TVXQ - Catch Me. TVXQ, after a long-awaited comeback, surprised all with such a well-sung, technotic, and amazing album - "Catch Me".

5. Orange Caramel - Lipstick. After a long-awaited comeback, After School's subunit returns to the music scene with a vibrant MV, fresh vocals, and a very new concept. With a Ping-pong styled MV, the girls present themselves with cuter than ever looks. The song itself has Russian-like beats, and is reminiscent of Miku Hatsune's "Joker".

4. T-Ara - Sexy Love. With a fresh new song, a new member, and a new concept, Sexy Love caught attention of old and new fans, and even the anti fans. Ahreum, newest member, displayed her rapping, dancing, and singing abilities in Sexy Love too. Despite their controversy, I love T-Ara, and I love this new concept.

3. G-Dragon - Crayon. YG obviously sees the that Americans love stupid, nonsensical songs, like 'Gangnam Style'. So, they G-Dragon'd 'Gangnam Style' and made 'Crayon'. With a cute yet adult charm, G-Dragon continues his rein of solo work with another amazing song. The english in 'Crayon', like 'Gangnam Style', is great. Along with auto-tuned english phrases, great bass and rapping are in 'Crayon'. Good job G-Dragon!

 

2. Kara - Pandora. Kara returns to the Japanese music scene with a well-sung, bright new song, 'Pandora'. The members look bolder, prettier, and maturer than ever. They've officially shed their little-girl image and gone for a more mature, but not sexy look. Perfect Japanese and English singing makes this song amazing.

 

1. AA - Ageha Dance. Ageha Dance stole the hearts of new and old fans with soulful singing, technotic background music, and a great MV. In the MV, the boys let lose and show their unfiltered, unscripted wild side. It's a great song, and it hasn't recieved nearly enough attention than it deserves. Please, check it out!

There you go! If you enjoyed any other K-pop songs that were released in September, agree with my list, or were led to another song that you enjoyed, comment below and tell me!
