    Very special album for many reason. Firstly it is RM’s debut album so I was very excited to finally hear Indigo. It did not disappoint and I am in awe of his artistry. An artist like Namjoon comes only once in a lifetime what an icon! To lead BTS to stardom and now releasing this increíble body of work it is beyond inspiring.

    ESSE ÁLBUM É GENIAL. Namjoon conseguiu nos mostrar um outro lado de sua persona, Wild Flower é uma música profunda e muito tocante com seus altos e baixos, closer, lonely, yun e outras são completamente diferentes umas das outras e são muito gostosas de ouvir, principalmente Change pt.2

    One of the best albums that came out in 2022. Namjoon is known for his amazing lyricism and I, personally, feel like this album is the best example to prove just how great his lyricism is. Another thing about this album that makes it so special is all the other legends that feature in it. I loved each and every song so much and so proud of Namjoon for everything he has done!

    I'm completely in love with Indigo, Wild Flower is amazing and touches my soul, while Closer and Lonely I can't get off repeat. This album delivers so many facets of Namjoon, and I love it.

    This album feels like RM's soul speaking directly to his audience. Showing various shades o his inner colors, his honesty is palpable. A poet who chose music to be the vehicle for his words, few musicians are as smart and profound as he is.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Literally one of the best albums I've ever heard this decade lyrically, rythmically. Namjoon did an amazing job!!! This verse in wild flower is perfect, actually all if them are but this verse touched my heart the most:

    Yeah I been goin’, no matter what’s in front

    그게 뭐가 됐건 [dwaetgeon]
    No matter what it is

    새벽의 옷자락을 붙잡고 뭔가 토해내던 기억 [gieok]
    Memories of letting things out, grabbing the edge of dawn by its collar

    목소리만 큰 자들의 사회 [sahoe]
    The society that is for those with loud voice

    난 여전히 침묵을 말해 [malhae]
    And I still speak silence

    이건 방백 [bangbaek], 완숙한 돛단배 [dotdanbae]
    This is an aside, a sailboat that came to full maturity

    모든 오해 [ohae] 편견들에 닿게 [datge]
    To reach and face all the misunderstanding and prejudice

    Translation source: doolset lyrics And this verse of Hectic by RM is one if my favorites verses is this album too:

    Ay 행복이란 뭘까 [mwolkka]
    Ay, what would be happiness

    그토록 바래왔던 작은 평화 [pyeonghwa]
    The little bit of peace that we hope for so bad

    마음이 빛바랜 자들을 떠나 [tteona] Leaving those whose hearts lost colors behind,

    마침내 우리가 수놓은 별밤 [byeolbam]
    we finally embroider the night sky with stars

    Indigo is an eye-opening taste of what RM is truly capable of outside the bounds of the K-pop powerhouse.

    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.
