Hey! I love your work with BTS and had no idea you were on TH-cam! I watch reactors all the time, and few of them have your experience with the material and chops 😢. Subscribed! I loved your reaction to this amazing album. I wanted to hear your reaction to longer sections of the songs, but I get it now that you mention copyright strikes. That sucks. Thanks for this, and I really look forward to your breakdowns of some of the tracks, and your reactions to other music (especially BTS).
Appreciate you and your words! I think the reason I started this is because I want to get into the nuances and explain/teach/talk/praise music on a deeper and more technical level. We're going to have fun doing this, thanks for the sub!
The biggest influence is Balming Tiger. He did the album because the leader of that group told Namjoon that he is a man of contradictions and he would love to make an album with him reflecting those feeling. The team of Balming participated in most of the songs
@@SleepDeez I only knew about them because RM did a collab last year called Sexy Nukim (you should check that one). Since then I listen a bit to their music and they are crazyyy. It’s a collective of rappers, writers, producers, etc. Songs with some jazz influence, let’s say: Just Fun!, Up! and Pigeon and Plastic. All have videos. The MV for Pigeon and Plastic is a mix with Buriburi, a funny song
I agree. It feels like this album was the goal and his prior albums were the different steps he had to take before he could get here. All of those albums were important for what they needed to accomplish in getting his vision out to the world too. It's awesome.
As someone mentioned, during Indigo promo, he indicated he had already been working on this. Not just that, but he had moved on so much his mind had already put Indigo behind him. He said what he was doing was so new it would blow everything out of the water. (This is all paraphrase from the general feeling his live gave me back then.)
Album influences mentioned. Made the list for myself, but here for anyone else. Thank you for listening to the album. 💜 Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly Tyler the Creator - IGOR Kayne West - Last Registration Thundercat (artist) I wasn't expecting this to be my taste more than Indigo, but Namjoon is never predictable. I need to sit with it for a while, but it might be my favorite album from Namjoon too. They have been putting the solo records on vinyl, but usually a few months later.
this was awesome, loved hearing your thoughts. Def email Bighit for us to ask for the vinyl ! They did release an Indigo vinyl, so chances are there's probably one in the pipeline
RM open up his chest and he said he got everything in those songs and with help off other amazing artists put together this masterpiece. This entire album is beautifully done, from collaboration, the lyrics, his delivery, the instruments, is so so amazing. He thanked Big Hit and everyone that helped him. He said he did feel much better after finishing this album. He love BTS and everything but, sometimes he have to endure so much, people talking about him and the members even when he was out having a drink. All the malicious comments about him and false interpretation and distortion of everything he does or says, was just too mugir him , plus going through so personal stuff, was just too much for him. Like how he said once that, he can’t make people like him and people believe whatever they want to believe, doesn’t matter if you say the truth. Thanks. A lot of fans don’t appreciate RM’s talented, only real artist do.
Wanted to catch the og livestrean but got taken down before😭 Definitely agree with all the points, influence from the greats Thundercat, kendrick, The internet , Tyler etc.. but that's as you said deeply him! I felt like his life, emotional and musical experiences finally synced up, he's reaching the musical vision he's been striving to put out! Really felt that too! Yes the interlude, domi& jd beck are 🤯 I really really hope this record finds its right audience because it's just TOO good! Thanks for the reaction, looking forward to the breakdown and thank you for My Time (I'll never thank you enough 😭)
as an Army I’m really happy he got his time away from the group or anything BTS related to produce this album and now it’s my favorite album ever released by a member 😂 ngl i really like this kind of songs it’s so meeeeee
The growth and potential... So much potential. Thank you for appreciating their hard work which they've poured blood, sweat, and tears before enlisting in the military and go MIA for 18 months.
Agree, 35 mins of just great music! That’s exactly where RM wanted to be, the album he wanted to make all along. Indigo was relatively restrained even tho it is good. I’m so glad too that he took his time, and had just enough time to complete it before enlisting for his MS. Yep, this needs to be on vinyl. Wondering what you can do to get it nominated for the Grannies? My fav is Around the world in a day, but all tracks coming up close. 💜
Yes! I made it 😊 I missed the last one. 💜💜💜. Thank you for taking the time to edit and re upload your review. Thank you for being honest, knowledgeable, and just real💜💜💜
@@SleepDeez No need to apologize...EVER....well, unless there is something you need to apologize for --This isn't it...We are thankful you are taking time out of your busy schedule for us. Thank you!!!!!!
Hi, Sleep. I'm here, too. Trying to catch up. Yes, RM did 5 MVs in total, i think, for this album before he went to military. So yeah, do watch those. Each has a certain aesthetic to it. Not your usual MVs, either - i personally feel! Enjoy the music, as we are, too. Looking forward to your next one. Take care!
YES!! VINYL!! Indigo plays so differently on my turntable than digital formats. V's album as well needs a vinyl version. That whole thing should be on loop in every Speakeasy. Please Big Hit.
Your reactions are amazing,thank you so much ❤ RM the most talented rapper, composer, songwriter, producer and human being ,every song he does has a different story and different emotions!!
You showed him change with Wale???!!! F yeahhhhhhh!!! I totaly agreed with everything you guys said regarding this song, Wale and RM. They put it in the "frame" / box of kpop just because he is korean.
OMG, I didn't know you are on youtube, I would have follow earlier. Thx so much for your reaction it was so nice to hear you thoughts and perspective on the album especially since it was a completely different direction for RM which I absolutely love. Also, I LOOOOOVE My Time by Jk, its one of my favorite solo songs of his and I hope you will work with our boys again once they are out and bring us a lot of great music.
Just found your channel through your reaction with Varnell. I just subscribed and circled back to see your other reviews. I enjoyed seeing how you listen and share your insight into music and RM as a creator. 🥰Looking forward to seeing your breakdown of his other work and your remixes!!
My only "complaint" about this masterpiece is REALLY wishing Sogumm sang along with BJ on Domodachi. I feel like that part could have been exalted by the two counterpoint voices together.
Learned so much! Appreciate the project in a deeper level!! Not many will get the album at the start but we all learning and now….we’re taken to different worlds! Thank you!
They have been releasing all the solo albums on vinyl! We are up to DDay (up for pre order dropping next month bath I think) so I’d expect it on the drop schedule for Q1 2025 or late this year. Domodachi is my initial favorite but every track is amazing amd it’s written to glow song to song.
I second this mention! That thing is a beautiful meeting of brilliant minds and mutual admiration. I loved that Pharrell was so enthusiastic he was sitting on the edge of his seat leaning towards RM most of the time. They came up with questions and angles the other had never been asked about before. And Wow are that man's knees shiny! 😮 If he _ever_ drops his Phriends, vol 1 album (he said 2024), we're expecting a collab of some sort with BTS. It got hyped in '22 and I think a lot of people have forgotten with all these distractions. 😅

Can you recommend some of their songs with jazz and funk sounds? Would love to check them out.

@@sanres2100 oh yeah I remember that record. RM snapped on there.. I'll check them out!
@@SleepDeez They were recently on Colbert xD

I love how you have a playlist section dedicated solely to BTS. You’re a real one for that, and same. 😂😂😂😂
😂those are all of our song ideas going back to 2019 MOTS era!
@@SleepDeez Oh babes you better do a live exposing them because I need to hear it ASAP!!!
Very interesting…!!!
Album influences mentioned. Made the list for myself, but here for anyone else. Thank you for listening to the album. 💜
Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly

Rms albums are works of art. I framed my Indigo Vinyl album. 💿
hearing bts praise and esp namjoon always makes me super happy and proud, thank you man!

I'm going to go live again maybe this weekend. I haven't gotten a chance to listen along and break down the lyrics/translations yet.
as an Army I’m really happy he got his time away from the group or anything BTS related to produce this album

I listened to this AFTER your session with Varnell - now I know how you were able to be so Chill 😉 while he woke up to RM’s talent 🤣
If u wanna know about the behind the scenes people who made the album beside RM, there is an article about it.. Check it out
Sleep!!!! I know you mentioned this on Twitter but I’m so glad I found your channel.
Hope you enjoyed it! More on the way, including a proper fun reaction haha
YES!! VINYL!! Indigo plays so differently on my turntable than digital formats. V's album as well needs a vinyl version. That whole thing should be on loop in every Speakeasy. Please Big Hit.
Your reactions are amazing,thank you so much ❤ RM the most talented rapper, composer, songwriter, producer and human being ,every song he does has a different story and different emotions!!

Love this album so much! Great video.

They've been releasing their singles on vinyl, they just take about 1 year after its release. I just got my D-Day vinyl today. :)

Have you watched the Pharrell and RM interview?

June 28. Jimin member of BTS. 🙌🏻
Where can I see your previous reactions to BTS?
This is new. Hopefully you stick around with us.
Hello! I’m late. Was the live recorded? I don’t see it on the live section. 😕
The original one got taken down for copyright so I had to reup snippets. Proper new vid coming Thursday!
