    I loved the album, it has everything, I understand that not everyone likes to get out of their comfort zone but RM explores music bravely and with an adventurous spirit, the people who accompany him on this journey are also very talented so it is a work of the highest quality for my ears.

    RM’s Indigo is by far the best album to have released this year. While the tracks span multiple genres across pop, hip/hop, folk, funk and more .. they come together to form a sonically cohesive album. A lot of RM’s personal stories and experiences form the inspiration behind every track but not for a moment does it limit the listener from relating to the lyrics and the music.

    The first track really set the tone for the overall feel of the album, I don't mean sonically though but emotionally. Rm who is widely known as a the philosopher who raps or simply 'the poet' does not disappoint in anyway with his lyricism through out the album.

    Indigo gives us a fresh insight of who RM really is, Kim Namjoon. Going through his twenties with unpredictable events and emotions that help guide him into a better person. It truly is a work of art.

    RM has come a long way since his mixtape mono. Both offer insight into both interpersonal and existential loneliness through the lyrics and themes, but Indigo dives further by offering a beautiful genre exploration, and a reflection on RM’s recent experiences in his 20s.

    For a long time now and more many reasons, I've only been able to listen to fast-paced, hard-hitting music. Not that I NEVER listen to other sounds but it has become very seldom.

    An alluring exploration into his interpretations of the connection between life and death in art with his personal life. He showcases an extraordinary depth in his honest and introspective lyricism and the range of colours in his sound. Stunning features that are wholesomely incorporated and blend perfectly. As a lover of art, a beautiful tribute to Yun Hyong-Keun's legacy.

    RM's first solo album is incredibly diverse. Multiple collaborations and genres make for a great listen. I recommend listening in order. The production is world class, but what really sets this album apart from others is the poetic lyrics that RM infused into each song. It is raw, refreshing and quite often heartbreaking and yet somehow remains optimistic for the future. This album has himRM's first solo album is incredibly diverse.

It is raw, refreshing and quite often heartbreaking and yet somehow remains optimistic for the future. This album has him laying his soul bare, singing about being shackled, wanting to be him and being lonely. He picked perfect people to collaborate with and yet my favourite track on this album is lonely, which is just him. This is a no skip album for me and I am blown away with his efforts. I also highly recommend Wild Flower with youjeen. Her vocals are incredible and the song has an epic feel to it with highly emotional lyrics. Congratulations RM!… Expand

I cannot stop listening to it from top to bottom, especially that line "I wanna be a human before I do some art" that's such a meaningful line, honestly the youth of this generation has to listen to it to understand what an artist and musician is. Anybody Giving it anything less than a compliment or a complete 10 is LYING....straight up jealousy. Coz this my friends is a craft so fine....This is the best album release from every perspective. Listen to it, I shared on my insta too lol, I am making my best friends listen to it and planning to gift my family some copies this holiday it's that good, there can not be a better present than Indigo album this year.

    An absolutely beautiful album filled which crosses genres and sub genres, held together by RM’s stunning lyricism as he explores what it means to be himself. It’s a journey anyone who has been through their 20s will relate to. Wildflower and No2 particularly brought tears to my eyes. I’ll come back to this album time and time again for years to come

    It’s too early to tell if the record will help the BTS leader achieve his goal of creating something truly timeless but, in this moment, ‘Indigo’ feels like a masterpiece with the potential to be remembered as a classic.

    Some moments fall flat – Lonely is cloying, paint-by-numbers EDM-pop that doesn’t fully land. Still, Indigo is a polished collection that spans both pop and rap with confidence.
