Here are the 10 songs we think you should ask K.K. to play next time he’s visiting, in order leading up to our top pick.
10. Go K.K. Rider
“Go K.K. Rider” is a longtime fan favorite, and it isn’t hard to hear why! This song starts off as a catchy beat right off the bat, leaving no time to wonder what makes it so great. It’s the kind of K.K. song you get up and dance to, forgetting that the composer is a white animated, guitar-wielding dog.
9. Café K.K.
You know that little-café-in-Paris or romantic-boat-in-Venice music that plays in every movie with such scenes? Take that kind of music and amplify its quality– that’s “Café K.K.” and it offers such an immersive tune that you’ll feel like you’re in a fancy European city enjoying a nice cup of coffee yourself.
8. Agent K.K.
This song is almost as suave as its cover art. If you’ve just accomplished something in your life or feel like you’re about to, then this is the tune for you. There’s no better way to envision yourself as a TV show detective in the series’ opening than to this song.
7. K.K. Sonata
Is there a genre out there that K.K. is not a master of? “K.K. Sonata” will make you feel emotions you’ve probably buried somewhere deep within you, but in a good way. Prepare your ears for some Baroque goodness.
6. K.K. Cruisin’
If you want to feel like you’re driving alongside a beach with your windows rolled down, “K.K. Cruisin'” is the song for you. It offers a relaxing beat paired with some catchy highs and lows.
5. K.K. Bossa
“K.K. Bossa” manages to be catchy and calming at the same time. If you’re in search of a chill beat for your island house’s living room, then this is the one for you.
4. Steep Hill
This one will make you nostalgic about, well, something. It sounds like a track accompanying short clips of your memories with no context. “Steep Hill” also makes a great road trip companion.
3. Stale Cupcakes
This K.K. song will make you emotional for a reason unknown. It speaks to the heart without, well, speaking. Have a listen for yourself and make sure to have some tissues nearby.
