Welcome to part 5 of our How to K-Pop series and part 1 of our Topline series, where we break down how K-Pop toplines are made, what makes a topline catchy and interesting, how to do vocal production and much more, of course with plenty of K-Pop songs as examples. These techniques are used by prolific songwriters and topliners across various styles, and we are sure to feature some of your favourites as well. If you are learning how to make K-Pop, this is the series for you!
We are starting our series on toplining by explaining what the term actually means and covering some basic ideas to start demystifying the world of songwriting. This video is perfect for anyone who is just starting out with toplining, or anyone who needs a refresher with a K-Pop twist.
We demonstrate how toplining is used in the industry. We highlight the importance of allowing one to have fun and experiment without overthinking. We cover the very basics of melody construction, with examples! And finally, we briefly touch on vocal production. Don't worry, all of these topics will be looked at in much greater detail very soon.
