All Kpop Albums I have listened to ranked (mini and full)

To celebrate her 15th anniversary as a singer in Korea, BoA undertook the task of self writing and producing her own album. For me this would seem as a major shift in her career where the quality of her releases sky rocketed. The whole sound of the album is so warm and comforting which feels so suitable for a singer who has kept a warm presence in the industry for many years. I would say this is her best album and will be tough to beat as every song brings something new to her discography and the album as a whole. Also this album shows me how she is definitely underrated by western K-pop fans.

Favourites:

Kiss my lips, Smash, Shattered, Double Jack, Home, Clockwork and Green Light

After a career defining album in 2015, BoA took time away from releasing albums and this can be seen by her further refreshed albums which feature classic BoA fitting perfectly in the world of modern K-pop. This album features some of her best dance and more urban tracks. Also it is crazy to say that 18 years into her career she only just released a mini album but it was sure worth the wait. With each release BoA manages to stay familiar but still creates each album unique and interesting for the listeners

Favourites:

One Shot, Two Shot, Everybody knows and Camo

After her latest victory with her first mini album, BoA continues her winning streak with this album. I would say this is one of her most consistent releases and maybe one of the most consistent in K-pop as a whole. This album is an amazing follow up to her previous two Korean releases and shows why she is the queen of K-pop

Favourites:

Like it, I want you back, Irreversible, No Limit and Woman

After releasing two mini albums over the two prior years it was time of Taeyeon to make a full length album. This album has an amazing set of songs many being ballads however her vocals and interesting yet comforting production keep them fresh and engaging on all songs such as especially on Fine. As debut full length albums come in K-pop rarely are they so fully realised as a body of work

Favourites:

Fine, Cover Up, Lonely Night, When I was young and I'm ok

This high score is greatly deserved. It is beautiful and lush :)

BoA again continues her streak of high quality albums with Better. Whilst I am somewhat indifferent to the title track, this album is a close third best full length after Kiss my Lips and Woman. Songs like LOVE and Start Over really add new layers to her discography and keep her fresh. The flow of this album is also amazing as we shift from RnB to Dance to Ballads with ease. She also sounds more vocally confident than ever. As a package BoA truly does show us how she has got 'better' over these 20 years of career!

Favourites:

Temptations, LOVE, Cut me off, Honey & Diamonds and Start Over

Whilst this album is not perfect its highlights and innovative production make up for that tenfold. :)

I would say out of all of her releases this is BoA's most overlooked. This album has a good dance sound on it and features distinct and fun songs. Songs like Black show how BoA can adapt to modern K-pop 19 years into her career with great songs on each album.

Favourites:

Black, Starry Night, Think about you and Butterfly

This is a super strong album from SHINee. After only having previously listened to one male SM album I was concerned this would be similarly mediocre. This however felt like an album with strong songs throughout that have depth and meaning with vocals that feel suitable emotive. Also the album cover is great for this album!

Favourites:

Area, Atlantis and Kind
