Though this is a k-pop blog, first and foremost, I enjoy music from all around the world, in a dozen different languages. So here are those albums, if you’re interested! This page is musicals and soundtracks, from The Ballad Of Songbirds and Snakes to Come From Away.

Most often used for performances in k-pop, the musical genre pulls from golden age jazz and showstopping flourishes. Think Shake It by LOONA, Blue Moon by BTOB, or Pantomime by WJSN.
Soundtracks are, very basically, anything created for a movie or tv show, and their genres vary wildly. Think Stranger by The Rose, Good Person by Haechan, or Give Me Your Heart by IU
