There is nothing like a good slow jam. A slow jam or a ballad can make you feel any kind of emotion. The point of these types of tracks is to move you. On an album, we all have our favorite types of genres. Many love the upbeat dance tracks, while others love the slower, ballad-type songs. So, today, we’re going to talk about those slow jams that make you want to grab the mic. 

NCT 127 - “Focus” 

Neo definitely got my back with this slow jam right here. On October 25, 2021, NCT 127 released their third full-length repackage album, Favorite - The 3rd Album Repackage. That album featured their spectacular B-side “Focus.” This R&B track hits you in your chest. “Focus” is the type of song that makes you want to drop to your knees and belt the lyrics. NCT is known for their slow jams, and they did not disappoint with this one. “Focus” is a track that you will never forget and will sing along to every time it plays.

DAY6 (Even of Day) - “Where the sea sleeps” 

I’m not crying—it’s just my allergies. Have you ever come across a track that makes you cry? That is how I felt listening to “Where the sea sleeps.” On August 31, 2020, DAY6 (Even of Day), a sub-unit of the hit JYP Entertainment rock band DAY6, released this heartfelt, gut-wrenching ballad. The vocals in this track make you feel like you’re levitating. DAY6 is known for their amazing vocals, and they came through in this track. It’s an amazing ballad that brings tears to many listener's eyes. 

SEVENTEEN - “Hit Song” 

These vocal kings! I would pay so much money to hear this song live. On April 25, 2016, SEVENTEEN graced us with their hit album, First ‘Love&Letter’. On that album was their beautiful slow jam, “Hit Song.” The vocals in this track are unmatched. SEVENTEEN is another group known for their fantastic vocals, and they delivered. This is a track that will make you believe that you are a trained vocalist. They did not come to play, and their names went down in the history books. 

BLACKPINK - “You Never Know”

“But you’ll never know unless you walk in my shoes/ You’ll never know.” The girls ate on this song. This pop/angst slow jam will have you singing the lyrics at the top of your lungs. On October 2, 2020, hit girl group BLACKPINK released their iconic album, THE ALBUM. “You Never Know” was featured on that album and rocked our worlds the moment we heard it. The song holds a powerful meaning and has lyrics that any listener can relate to. This is a track I recommend to everyone. The girls did an amazing job.
