May is coming to an end, and we are about to enter the halfway point of 2023. This calls for none other than the May 2023 playlist. Although May couldn’t surpass the musical celebration of April, it had its own charm.

In the month of May, we had some exciting musical events. K-Pop duo EXO-SC held their ‘Back to Back’ fancon tour, NCT Dream performed live at Axiata Arena Bukit Jalil, and Honne had a live show at Zepp in Malaysia. Additionally, many artists announced and kicked off their tours, including Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Coldplay, Arctic Monkeys, and more.

We have a lot more musical wonders to explore in 2023, with numerous concerts lined up. The love for music even motivates locals to travel for a full-on musical experience. We are witnessing many musical events and concerts happening in neighbouring countries.

If you don’t have the luxury to travel for music or couldn’t find the time to snatch concert tickets, don’t worry. We’ve got you covered with new songs to add to your May playlist. So you can enjoy them in the comfort of your own room.
