‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Soundtrack: All 12 Tracks Ranked
With 'KPop Demon Hunters' becoming a pop culture phenomenon, we ranked every song on its soundtrack.
KPop Demon Hunters has become a surprise pop culture phenomenon for several reasons: The Netflix animated musical tells a compelling story of female friendship, centered within the exciting and increasingly omnipresent world of K-pop, weaving in various fantasy elements — and it’s all available to watch over and over on a global streaming behemoth. The only traditional musical number in KPop Demon Hunters — Rumi and Jinu don’t sing “Free” onstage or as part of their respective pop groups’ catalogs, but just as emotional spillover moments where what they’re feeling about themselves and for each other is too intense not to express in song. Luckily, “Free” justifies the outpouring: EJAE and Andrew Choi’s voices intertwine beautifully on an overpowering chorus that packs all the release you could ask for from a song about letting go, and the result feels halfway between The Chainsmokers and Halsey’s “Closer” and Aladdin’s “A Whole New World.”
