Reserved. I know it's my list but I still feel as I need to write a bit for each song to justify it to myself
1. Wonder Girls - Like ThisSo fucking hard to pick between this and Poison. I ended up choosing WG because it speaks to me more
. Outside of Nobody and Tell Me, this sounds like what I think a WG song actually is. The vocals fit beautifully with the beat. Speaking of the beat, shit goes so hard. So much so, I've had the itch to write rhymes to it. Because it attracts my attention in multiple ways, Like This has to be my number one.
2. Secret - PoisonI love all the femme fatale/noir vibe to the video. The saxaphone is great. Secret continues to improve I think and Poison is the more evidence.
3. T-ara - Lovey DoveyI remember telling myself to remember this song for the end of the year list back in January. That in itself means it has to be ranked high. Also, their practice video has Eunjung C-walking. End of story.
4. Brown Eyed Girls - One Summer NightGrown ass women music.
5. IU - PeachI don't care who she shares her evenings with. I don't care if she's starting to sex it up a bit during her concerts. The music is great. Peach is great. I couldn't deny it in my top 5.
6. Miss A - TouchI gotta admit, I haven't payed much attention to Miss A. That changed with Touch. I even like the Newport Remix as well. Here's hoping I continue to like Miss A.
7. T-ara - Day By DaySure, the choreography isn't all that. The song makes for good walking music. Can't really explain that, but it does. Overall, T-ara has been great to me for a couple of years now. Sexy Love is their first misstep in a while, but shit two of their songs make my top 10.
8. BoA - Only OneFucking yes. Not only did BoA come back to Korea, she came back a grown ass woman. (Was she already there? Either way she's there now.) The songs sounds like a more progressive, more mature BoA song. Pluses all around.
9. TaeTiSeo - CheckmateThe strength of the beat is why this makes my list. The trio's vocals on the track are secondary to me. The way the drums knock, especially in the beginning, it's like a break beat bboys are ready to tear it up.
10. f(x) - Electric Shock When the song slows down and Luna floats to the surface, that is the moment where I decided I like Electric Shock.
