Best T-Pop Songs: A Starter Guide to Thai Pop

The Thai pop is experiencing its time, as romantic ballads and slick RnB, indie glitter, and a new breed of idols that go way beyond Thailand. Dive in To get started, begin with vocal powerhouse and cross-over hits that characterize the new sound. The emotive expression of the song by Billkin, นับหนึ่ง (From now on), and the duo chemistry of ZEE PRUK x NuNew on “Heartquake” are slick, modern pop with hooks to the heart of the song and smooth production.

The cinematic and brooding of Ride or Die by Jeff Satur, along with the way that BamBam uses Thai lyrics in Wondering to indicate how T-pop is inherently stealing international tones without losing its local soul. The energy and swagger of LYKN with their Feel Like Me and BUS with Boss in the Building are an opposition to the romance ballads that the genre is known by. In the case of indie-tinted pop, the Yellow Fang and Jelly Rocket catalogs are the places to be: the low-key style of the vocals is complemented by soft-lit synths and the coziness of guitars, a trend that is still felt by the younger generation of artists.​

The discovery of T-pop has been made easy by chart and playlist ecosystems, which are now available in case you feel like having an overview of the scene, as opposed to focusing on individual artists. The Top Thai Songs of Billboard offers a weekly indicator of what is going on here in the currents of streaming and sales, which may be of use in capturing the local smashes as they rise. The T-Pop Hot Hits and rotating lists of Top Thai Song by Spotify help trace the recent releases, and the big collaborative lists on YouTube reveal the appearances of the viral crossovers on Tik Tok into the mainstream playlist. These feeds combine idol ventures, solo artists, and indie pop bands to produce a long-distance panoramic feed of what is breaking as it occurs. A couple of weeks on these charts will provide a fair idea of the clingy choruses, up-and-coming producers, and the labels which are sowing the next generation.​The popularity of T-Pop is in its diversity: there are ballads to be listened to on a rainy night, indie pop to listen during a long drive, and high-gloss anthems that are constructed to play on a festival stage. Begin with the songs on the list above, and allow the charts and editorial playlists to drag you further into the densely stratified pop world of Thailand.
