Though this is a k-pop blog, first and foremost, I enjoy music from all around the world, in a dozen different languages. (With a bias to English and German, because I actually speak those). So here are those albums, if you’re interested! This page is pop, from Rina Sawayama to Taylor Swift.

Straight pop, being in the name, is pretty common in k-pop; it covers Latin pop, noise music, retro sounds, and so much more. It’s often thought of as being bubbly, dancy, and effervescent. Think What Is Love by TWICE, Step by KARA, or Married To The Music by SHINee.
