30. BLACKPINK - Whistle
2016 was the year of getting into k-pop for me. I'm still far from being a stan or even a casual follower but now I definitely do understand the hype about it, it's certainly much more colorful and addictive - and isn't it what pop music's about? - than whatever's going on in western mainstream right now, as evidenced by this little number. What totally bought me here are the titular whistles and how irresistibly catchy it is, in spite of being a pretty subtle and sleek song at the same time.
29. Dean feat. Gaeko - D (Half Moon)
Out of the 5 k-pop tracks on the countdown, this is the only one performed by male artist(s). It's for sure a slow burner - while it did little to nothing for me on my initial listens, it just kept growing on me with each one, to the point I was obsessed. It's so incredibly... romantic and warm, even if I don't understand a single word. I love the intimate atmosphere Dean creates and how effortlessly he seems to mix the somewhat oldschool sound with a modern production, making it both nostalgic and current. No wonder this sold a ton of copies in Korea, fairly deserved it.
28. Laura Mvula - Phenomenal Woman
I tend to say (self-)empowerment ~anthems are pretty cringeworthy, however, there is an exception to every rule. On the closer of The Dreaming Room Laura Mvula tells a story of a woman who finally realises she is beautiful, embraces her freedom and all that stuff. As overused as these concepts are, they make a truly one of its kind combination with the singer's distinctive vocals. Along with the upbeat and uplifting melody the entire track feels like it's actually coming alive.
27. PJ Harvey - The Wheel
A second concept album, thematically pretty similar to the previous one, in a row? Ambitious but also a bit... redundant. Especially for me, a person who listens to Polly Jean mostly for intriguing musical background. That's why The Wheel was the song which stayed with me for the longest. Among her most recent songs, it definitely stands out as one of the most passionate. It's also amazing how it's repetitive enough to get stuck in one's head easily, yet not repetitive enough to get tiring and boring. Not everyone can find the right balance.
26. Deftones - Prayers/Triangles
Gore as a whole was a nice album. It's no Koi No Yokan, not even close, but enjoyable regardless. It didn't have much replay value for me though, with the exception of its lead single, Prayers / Triangles. The track about being enslaved by, in fact, your own mind and demons has been really well-crafted, particularly in terms of the emotional content. It starts slowly, explodes in the chorus (excellent vocals!) but its real climax is the feverish bridge. What connects all these parts together is the feeling of anxiety which gives the track a really elusive, mesmerizing touch.

Whistle is a cute bop but I prefer Boombayah.
Reszty piosenek nie znam, chociaż miałem sprawdzić ten album Laury.
