With each new listen, the song grows though the drum beat intricacies and vocal infections become more pronounced. Its chorus is not immediately obvious and the members sing in a hushed tone that is unusual to modern pop music. 9Muses – “Sleepless night”ĩMuses scrape onto our list with their last single of the year “Sleepless Night.” At first listen, “Sleepless Night” is difficult to get your head around. So after a long consideration period and fights and disagreements among the KultScene staff, we’ve put together a comprehensive list of 50 of the top songs out of Korea this year. 2015 saw the return of many esteemed groups, the rise of non K-pop genres in the mainstream and popularized abroad, fresh debuts, and a lot of vintage sounds in the songs, a nice detour from the heavy electronic trend from recent years.
This, of course, was awesome for fans, given that we were treated to a year filled with some of the best Korean songs released in recent years. Compared to last year’s K-popcalypse, artists in 2015 came back with a vengeance and with something to prove.
