I got mine!
1. Sunmi - Gotta Go
Pre-pandemic I had this on loop heavy in early 2020 but got lost in the shuffle, and especially with the more focused promotion of pporappippam, but man this shit goes.
2. Yukika - Soul Lady
I quite enjoy some City Pop. Now she's a free agent and I hope to continue to enjoy her music.
3. Twice - Say Something
When I was told Twice had a City Pop album cut, I went directly to it and I never quite left. JYP, let Twice do more stuff like this please.
4. Mamamoo - Chuck
As evident in my list, I thought Mamamoo has a great 2020. Chuck stuck to my bones on first listen.
5. Sunmi - pporappippam
Wouldn't be surprised if I am burned out on City Pop by the end of 2021, but as of right now, her take on it easily makes this list, too.
6. Mamamoo - Wanna Be Myself
I am with the positive message of this song. Side note: Hwasa has been so active in 2020 and I hope she gets to chill.
7. Moonbyul - Moon Movie
When those piano keys start then the rest of the instruments kick in to make it sound more sinister, then when she starts to bounce on the track. My kind of shit.
8. Eyedi - J.us.T
Not all of her music resonates with me, but the ones that do really, really resonate.
9. Gfriend - Night Drive
I can tell you I wasn't expecting a Gfriend song to make my list, but I like this vibe of the subunit.
10. Twice - Make Me Go
More Twice r&b album cuts, please!
