BTS’s Jimin is gearing up for the release of his second solo album, ‘Muse’, by revealing the tracklist, concept photos, and videos.
On the 27th, a day before the pre-release of the track ‘Smeraldo Garden Marching Band (Feat. LOCO)’, Jimin released a teaser for the live clip of the song, capturing the attention of fans worldwide.
The video starts with LOCO sitting alone, followed by Jimin pointing at him and lightly swaying his body.
The fairy tale-like, surreal background and rhythmic movements of Jimin and LOCO provide a delightful viewing experience.
In the ‘Muse’ album, Jimin showcases a variety of challenges and demonstrates his growth as a solo artist.
While his previous album ‘Face’ marked his first solo release and was filled solely with his voice, ‘Muse’ features collaborations with unique musicians, offering a richer sound.
In addition to LOCO, Jimin also worked with singer and actress Sofia Carson to create a special harmony.
Jimin participated in writing the lyrics for six out of the seven tracks in the album, all centered around the theme of ‘love’.
He ensured that the songs are organically connected and even took on the role of producer for two tracks, showcasing his evolved musical capabilities.
‘Smeraldo Garden Marching Band’ is a song based on a marching band performance.
It combines big band (a large-scale orchestra) sounds with hip-hop elements, resulting in a dynamic bounce, rhythm, and Jimin’s refreshing vocals.
The track will be released simultaneously worldwide on the 28th at 1 PM KST.
