    I was really impressed by Jimin's singing technique in Set Me free pt.2. His voice is so sexy and charming. And for this album, it's made up of events. which he met and passed what a beautiful album.

    When I first heard Jimin's album, my eyes glazed over. ⁇ The lyrics he wrote were enough to comfort all of us who had suffered a pendemic.Jimin's delicate, lyrical, and sometimes exploding crazy sensibilities go beyond kpop and respond from all over the world.,Jimin's beautiful and dreamy vocals and performances are also enough to explain the word perfection in his album.

    Face is a spectacular album. As he explained it shows the painful journey he went through during the pandemic, each song showcases a state of mind, and each of them does it impeccably.

I'd like to add that I was surprised he added an interlude, it made clear the years of working with a group of excellent rappers.

    Again, incredibly proud of Jimin, and my favorite song might be Like Crazy.    … Expand

    jimin's voice is very captivating and it feels so good to listen to his voice in six tracks consecutively since we haven't heard to it THAT much before and the curiosity about his voice keeps rising with FACE.

    Un disco muy emocional, Jimin nos hace sentir todo lo que sintió y pensó en esa época de su vida. Nos transmite el miedo, ansiedad, pero también la esperanza y que el amor lo puede con todo. Todos tenemos 2 caras y el nos enseña a qué es bueno conocerlas y aceptarlas. Me siento tan viva con todas sus canciones y me encantan todas. El mejor álbum de este año.

    La base rítmica en cada canción desde un Synth pop,un hiphop inteligente y unas baladas sentidas acompaña la historia del EP tanto las melodías como la voz de jimin con sus distintos matices hacen que el oyente experimente las diferentes emociones del autor.

Jimin chose to write about deeply personal feelings and experiences during the pandemic and proceeds to tell the story in the order of the track list. First, anger (face off), then denial (like crazy), then sadness/acceptance (alone), and finally overcoming it and breaking oneself free (set me free). This is just an EP, but Jimin filled the entire EP with a different genre in each track, and he carried each genre exceptionally well with his unique tone. Kicking off rather too short promotional activities with Set me Free pt 2 as a pre release was a genius move. Set me free pt 2 is not just a song, but a theatrical anthem that leaves you breathless as it immediately fully immerses you in the performance. Jimin who is a main dancer in BTS along with JHope just knows how to put on a performance as an exceptional dancer. It created such hype and buzz that it built up an enormous amount of anticipation for the title track, and Like Crazy in its synth pop genre did just the job, satisfying the anticipation. This EP was an experience for me that I will never forget. I'm very excited to see the further development of a super star artist Jimin, as a solo artist. Already looking forward to his next solo album.… Expand

    The way I interpreted the album, based on the lyrics, imagery and what Jimin himself has said; this was an album that touches upon his depression throughout the pandemic as well and his identity.

Except for the hidden track (which reads exactly like a love letter), I interpreted the album as him questioning who he is. Rather than alcohol (although it can be part of it, but I found it too on the nose for Jimin), it feels like he used to get drunk on the fame and his work, and not that he was without it he was questioning who he was without it. SMF touches upon how the expectations from outside sources made him suppress a lot of who he was but no longer.

    Like Crazy is very, very queer coded to me, which is not something new for Jimin by the way. The way the woman (both in the MV and the choreo) mirrors him, it feels like a fight between femininity and masculinity, with him embracing both in the end. That, along with the inclusion of Mapplethorpe (which he has referenced before in his photopholio) and a hinted at WLW couple, made me relate a lot. As a queer person, the shot of Jimin standing above a video of people kissing striked me as an image with such loneliness, feeling as if love is unattainable for you, not seeing yourself in any of the images of love out there, being alienated of everything people make love to be...

    At least that's my interpretation.    … Expand

    While it’s a short EP, it doesn’t disappoint. If anything, he presents himself as a soloist with an unexpected sound for his high-pitched countertenor voice and very far from those earlier ballads we have heard from him.

    Balancing both his vulnerable and fiercely intense sides, he manages to reveal more of himself in 20 minutes than he has to date.

    Its six tracks wrap all too quickly, and while it was specified that Jimin doesn’t consider this a full-length project, it does leave the listener craving more music in this vein somewhere down the road — it’s worth repeating that the energy of “Face-off” is one that he should consider chasing most of all.
