Ok-pop is suffering from acts who – for one purpose or one other – didn’t get the complete highlight they deserved. I’ve spent loads of time rating and reviewed the business’s greatest artists, however these underrated acts ought to by no means be forgotten.

This function will check out disbanded teams and rank/price their complete singles run, putting them within the pantheon of Ok-pop historical past.

Subsequent up is BEATWIN!

Profession timeline: 2014-2017

General sound: Adopted the whims of widespread Ok-pop traits, however with very sturdy vocals.

6. Don’t Go away (2017)

Ah, the unhappy disbandment ballad. That is higher than most, although.

Score: 7.5

5. Stalker (2015)

The group returned with a harder-edged sound that matched Ok-pop’s rising hip-hop influences on the time. The militant refrain is tons of enjoyable, although.

Score: 8

4. Rising Solar (2016)

This doesn’t really feel like an enormous musical assertion, however the melodies and vocal efficiency are attractive and that comes throughout as very refreshing eight years later. (full evaluate)

Score: 8.5

3. Phantasm (2014)

This packs a pleasant wallop with a giant effusive refrain countered by a catchy “da da da” hook. The instrumental’s fairly funky, too.

Score: 8.5

2. She’s My Lady (2014)

I miss the times when random debuts from small businesses packed this a lot punch. She’s My Lady peaks with some good vocal climaxes over its chugging beat.

Score: 8.75

1. Your Lady (2016)

Oh, I really like this tune. The mixture of that ultra-catchy synthline and falsetto-kissed refrain is pure perfection. I used to be at all times shocked this wasn’t produced by Sweetune as a result of it sounds precisely like considered one of their songs. (full evaluate)

Score: 9

OVERALL RATING: 8.4
