Best K-Pop Albums 2018 - BTS, EXO, Red Velvet, And More

Some of the most creative and compelling music made this year came from Korea — work that transcends language, and anyone would be remiss to overlook.
2. Key Face

When you’ve performed as part of a group for over a decade, it’s easy to lose your individual sound. But with Face, SHINee’s Key showed that he has a clear sense of self as Kim Kibum. This work highlights the singer’s retro taste and penchant for high drama, both of which are highlighted in glam-rock firestarter “Good Good” and Skrillex-penned groovy EDM track “Chemicals.” But it also contains honest, introspective moments, like “This Life,” which examines a moment of uncertainty. Face’s 10 tracks are ambitious for a debut solo album, which in itself is a testament to the supportive environment that helped nurture him.
