There was a LOT of great music last year, and with a whole ass MAMAMOO album to top it off?? Sheeeeit, I could've easily put the first 10 tracks on here and called it a day.
But I managed to keep it to only 2 songs from the album and highlight some other awesome songs that made my 2019.
1. Mamamoo - Destiny: Fucking EPIC vocals and music. The instrumentals here can fit as background music in a Tarantino film. Mamamoo keeps on surprising me. Yeeeehawww!

2. Mamamoo - 4x4ever: Hnngh. Dirty, hot, powerful. Mamamoo just stepped on my neck with this one.

3. Dreamcatcher - Piri: I always appreciated DC for their rock angle, even if I thought a lot of their stuff sounded like anime OSTs. LOL This was the first song of theirs that I reaaaally fell in love with; made me want to break out the ol' electric and jam along. *headbangs forever*

4. Red Velvet - Psycho: They had me with the strings, man. Assorted strings in the swelling chorus and slow head bopping vibe, it's a yes from me, dawg. Thank you for finally serving a great RV single in 2019!

5. Everglow - Bon Bon Chocolat: Helluva debut single. Not even 2 seconds into the pre-chorus and I thought, "Oh this is going on my list." This song gets me so hype. CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP

6. AOA -Ninety Nine: I L O V E the bassline in this 70s sounding b-side. This is so damn groovy; that chorus is niiiice.

7. TWICE - Fancy: This one grew on me, and when it finally took over, I couldn't resist screaming "FANCY!!! YOUUUUU!!!" whenever it came on. Stupid catchy.

8. Woosung - FACE: So cool, so sexy. The instrumentals here are great too, but what really got me were the lyrics, "I LIKE YO FACE".

9. N. Flying - Rooftop: The underlying piano makes this super fun and memorable; makes me want to dance or have a DiCaprio-style jaunt.

10. CLC - I Need U: to stop sleeping on CLC. This is a s o l i d dance track.
