Hi! I'm very new to the world of kpop and I feel like I'm discovering a whole universe, amazing and huge. As a navigated fan, could you suggest some Monsta x songs to start with? It's one of the bands that caught my attention the most, their vocal line is, for lack of a better term, uuugghh! I've seen many clips here and there but I'd like to get to know their music for real. Hope you have a great day!
Hi! Welcome to Monsta X and K-Pop as a whole! It can be a ridiculous, overwhelming place, but it’s amazing in so many ways, you won’t regret it (too much…)
Monsta X debuted in 2015 and have released a lot of great music since then! I have all their MVs (promotional music videos as well as special clips, self-filmed MVs) in a YouTube playlist here. My personal favourites are All In, Beautiful, and Tropical Night.
Apart from that, lot of people upload albums to YouTube, so I’ll link them chronologically:
The Clan part 2.5 (their first full album!)
Shine Forever (repackage)
Are You There? (their second full album!)
A lot of side B tracks they’ve performed on music shows are really good too, such as:
Hero (there are two versions: album/original and broadcast)
My personal favourites are Hero (album ver), From Zero and Myself.
If you’re not tired yet! These are some non-title track songs I, the admin, personally recommend, categorized:
Strong, powerful songs: Oi, Queen, X, Fallin’
A little sexy: Blind, Tropical Night
Vocal power: Destroyer, Lost in the Dream
Upbeat pop: Rollercoaster, Need U, Gravity, I Do Love You
Sweeter than sweet: I’ll Be There, Amen, White Sugar
For a painful heart: Blue Moon, Broken Heart, Honestly
Monsta X’s covers are really good too! Some of my favourites:
Jonghyun’s Hyeya (Yi Si Fuera Ella) (main vocalist Kihyun) [predebut]
Crush’s Beautiful (main vocalist Kihyun)
Kim Gunmo’s Moon of Seoul (main vocalist Kihyun - he’s masked)
John Legend’s All of Me (lead vocalist Shownu) [predebut]
Yoseob’s Caffeine (Wonho, Kihyun + others) [predebut]
Bruno Mars’s Versace on the Floor (All)
Sorry for this overly long answer! I hope you won’t be daunted by the huge amount of links; Monsta X have some really great songs and you’ll be glad you found them.
If you ever have any questions, feel free to send an ask or a private message! I’m always here to help ^^ Welcome to the fandom!
