    Kim Namjoon shows his artistic genius with Indigo. Every song has its own color and Namjoon allows the listener an inside peak into his every day emotions. This album has a song for everyone and is worth a listen. Please honor his writing by taking the time to look up the translations to the songs. You wont regret listening to this album.

    Este álbum é arte pura! RM consegue desenvolver bem seus sentimentos, bem o bastante para que eu possa ver meus sentimentos em suas letras. Além de que as colaborações são incríveis, ele conseguiu realizar o que tanto queria, trazer e harmonizar diferentes frequências e gêneros. RM é realmente um gênio.

    As a person navigating my 20s and in my mid 20s, listening to RM sing and rap about his archive of his 20s makes me both reminiscent of my early 20s & look forward to the coming years.

    All in on all, Indigo is one of the best albums I heard this year!

    What can I say about his art? This is a masterpiece! A well thought album. Written by him because this is HIM, Thee Kim Namjoon not RM of the leader of BTS. Well RM is still part of Kim Namjoon but this album we can listen from Kim Namjoon as well as RM. Their life journey and journal of his life through out his 20s.

    This album is completely everything Kim Nanjoom wanted to convey just by listening to it and it touches your soul, it shows how much he has grown as an artist, and that he has transcended the borders of kpop, proving that he is an incredible rapper. its producer is its composer, lyricist

    I've always liked albums. Properly done, they provide a window into an artist's world. In Indigo, RM of BTS fame has given us a peep into the last 4 years of his life.

In Indigo, RM of BTS fame has given us a peep into the last 4 years of his life. His previous work, mono, was a mood playlist, but Indigo is more like a journal recording different thoughts and feelings. The styles and sounds cover everything from folk, to hip hop to city pop, but the sentiments and philosophy are pure Kim Namjoon.

    The songs flow into each other, taking the listener on a rollercoaster ride. The lead single Wild Flowers is an explosive soundscape with beautiful lyrics, the MV a gorgeous treat for the senses. Singer Yunjeen's voice is laden with emotion in the hook. No. 2 closes the album in a quiet sigh, a realization that where you're at is good, no need to look back. All the collaborations add flavor and depth to the music, helping to present a fuller picture of RM.

    For me, though, the best track is Change. Its quirky musicscape and mumbled lyrics are just so different. Yes, everything changes in this world. As you mature you come to this realization. How you accept this will determine whether you are happy, dissatisfied or plain miserable in your life.

    I recommend this album and strongly encourage people to listen to it from beginning to end.    … Expand

    The lyrics in the album truely hit home. Some tracks hitting the loneliness you can feel even when your surrounded by others. Namjoon brought forth his heart and soul in the album walking us through his emotions in art. 10/10 album also the features added something extra special to the story.

    Reflecting the last 4 years of this incredible young man's life. The fear, the pain, the joy, and the resolve to continue. it's a beautiful work of art as only Kim Namjoon can create. It's also a sonically rich album, excellent productions. Each song can stand alone. Sounds so good playing on my new speakers.

    A mixed genre album that somehow manages to sound cohesive. The connecting link between each song being RMs versatile voice and his lyrics.
    Each song paints a picture of a person who has lived and experienced the world in its fullest. The individual tracks are emotionally rich and moving.

    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.
