A Okay-pop act’s title observe isn’t all the time the perfect track on their album, even when it’s the one most individuals will hear. Generally, b-sides deserve recognition too. Within the singles-oriented world of Okay-pop, I wish to highlight a few of these buried treasures and provides them the props they deserve.
It’s been awhile since I’ve featured a buried treasure with the sentiment that “this could positively have been the title observe.” Total, Okay-pop acts have been choosing the right songs to advertise in 2025 and actually there simply haven’t been that many extraordinary b-sides. NouerA are one of many few teams to spawn a “9” rated b-side in 2025 they usually’ve executed it once more with Myself.
Full disclosure from me: a track with this sound is sort of assured to earn a “9” except it does one thing actually dumb. I simply love this frothy, excessive vitality home beat with a fully-sung, layered refrain. It’s a recipe that works extremely effectively — particularly throughout this time of yr. I get that Myself may not adhere to NouerA’s idea as closely as a title observe ought to and I’ve truly come round to N (Quantity Of Circumstances)‘s jagged crunch fairly a bit over the previous few days, but when their company is feeling beneficiant and wish to movie a follow-up music video I can’t consider a greater track to do it with. Myself is brisk, upbeat and extremely enjoyable. It confidently opens with its refrain, instantly recalling RIIZE’s Unimaginable from final yr. The observe might be extra ingenious in its execution, however like I stated bias is powerful with this style and I simply love listening to the vitality. The track additionally scores bonus factors for by no means dropping into some momentum-killing half-time entice breakdown.
