note: I do not have apple music, so this will include a majority of spotify links. i hope that dosent bother too many people.
one more note: i know VERY little about music production. this thread is an excuse for me to rant about stylish and wannabe.
what you waiting for - somi
the prechorus and dance break especially sound nice, as you can hear the light echo effects and harmonies very well. https://open.spotify.com/track/4CoxD8tetisleUQDA7vn1B?si=LGHrAArDQb-MX0LAIpf9yw

purple - sohlhee ft. taeil of nct 127
this song is just elevated to a different level, because you can hear all the harmonies much better. it's also much easier to hear sohlhee's voice increase in volume ever so slightly in the last verse. https://open.spotify.com/track/5DWK9BWhM0uTYe24hDcguf?si=aD3DTco2RDajZ6La1hYBig

hurry up - sohee of elris ft. bol4
like an apple, so... crisp? if that makes any sense? it's really nice on the ears, the light harmonies, the synth, all the small details really helped this song age so well. https://open.spotify.com/track/5aSwxmO434mSCwIyp9WA8A?si=Ub7Ru8XcRX6VZT3hm8k8uA

more and more - twice
this song was praised from the beginning on how airy the second chorus sounds, and I could not agree more. it's just so nice. definitely a main highlight of the song.

lady - sohlhee
the way it sounds like the snaps are echoing in your head at some points is really just so cool. (cont.)

and the way the zip zip zip synth noise before the choruses hit your left ear, then your right ear, then the left again, then both when she starts singing is -chefs kiss-

wannabe - itzy
This song.
Is so perfectly articulated and crafted in a way that makes you so beautifully sick. It's a work of art, as all music is, and is only elevated by the addition of dual speakers or headphones.
There are just so many little elements incorporated (cont.)

and it all comes together to not only craft itzys best title track to date, but also the perfect dance song. https://open.spotify.com/track/6tCssnvTUREcperDOUTqvA?si=ArQiyWqNSQWngRdPsp0zEA
whistle - blackpink
this is really only here because of how hard the chorus and prechorus goes, like, it goes off. https://open.spotify.com/track/7HWmJ1wBecOAMNGjC6SmKE?si=1Z99inn_Qd6sbm3k1eSRjg

stylish - loona
just the way the prechorus is arranged, the airy echos under the girls voices, and then that sharp cut to vivi is just so well put together. the build up to each part of the song is so AMAZING. (cont.) https://open.spotify.com/track/0vA82YPx1q4JRWFISf1vIZ?si=DjcoNwwbStiz1vT1rpc8ow

it sounds even more crisp with headphones on. you can hear every single detail so well, and the harmonies hit so hard, it's just a masterpiece.
metronome - weki meki
the verses sound especially nice, not because of any specific production elements or harmonies, it's really just how crisp the girls sound. https://open.spotify.com/track/52KDuuk3cOAGXY3UNvkvOO?si=lbG2eYBmTauevpEcYMdmVA

d (half moon) - dean
I could talk about this song till the day I die. the producer skipped out on nothing at all, everything is there, a great instrumental, the harmonies are there, the main vocals are so crisp and hit so hard, it's a true trip. https://open.spotify.com/track/3uA8SjMyDtwtt0jLPMQbVD?si=sXCw8QUoSQek47yDproVxA

picky picky - weki meki
parts of the song jump from ear to ear, the instrumental sounds almost like one of those 16D versions of songs at some points, but in the best way possible. https://open.spotify.com/track/2RwHcRK2KfIAUGNq4Nlfv5?si=lIvjKEExQiutq6_t59d76g

adios - everglow
it seems pretty bare bone at first, no difference from any other ways of litsening, and then the chorus hits and BOOM it hits, its hard, its loud, its obnoxious, its everything the song was leading up to. https://open.spotify.com/track/5uHl2eYaITSX6xEX8bmaXy?si=9iVfbZmqR2e7QM3UB4WCoQ

miroh - stray kids
the beat drops, and you're immideatly transported to a different world. it's so loud, and you can hear every single thing that makes it work, every small element, that's what helps this song click. https://open.spotify.com/track/6gisOiWATiawP3eFUAGtJe?si=byJHk7zJRE-oNXhTtZin7Q

caffeine - eyedi
from the moment the song starts you hear a nice shimmer of what seems to be pink tinted glitter shower into your ears, the synths, the light harmonies, it was all so hidden, and when you find it, it feels so wonderful.

rainbow car - saay
another instance of, "a song that's here purely because of its attention to detail."
you can hear the sounds of a car all throughout the song, with it being most prominent at the very beginning of the song. https://open.spotify.com/track/0VnWemS68oIwoYdeMcSqd7?si=cmV4toF4SWuiHo7tC1lBOg
