RM - Indigo | Album Reaction

[@mai_boo]

RM saying he wants to remove some songs from Mono actually indicates that he is now at a better place because mono came from a very dark place. Though there are a lot of us who are still in that place, who are still connected to mono so deeply, we are very happy for rm too 😊

[@amberpearce710]

Facts!! Well said

[@Cookie_moonlove]

Do you really think it's the dark ones he wanna remove or not just that he doesn't feel so satisfied with some now? I have a hard time believing he would wanna remove songs for that reason. Did he say that specifically and I missed it? And I do not feel they are so dark either in a negative way. They just feel human.

[@mai_boo]

@@Cookie_moonlove I dont know (and honestly dont even want to know) which songs he would remove. He did say in the interview that although he is proud of some the tracks he wants some them gone too. I think it’s not the satisfaction part that bothers him, i guess it would be that he doesnt feel attached to the songs as much. One specific comparison i would like to do: in Tokyo he says "And ash is the thing that someday we all should be" but in Still Life he says "life is better than the dead I'll prove it" Again, in Seoul, he was so out of emotion that Love and Hate, two opposite but strong emotions was same to him. Indigo shows us how much he has changed and grown, the monochrome became indigo, a shade of blue

[@HBoyle]

I hope that's reason, because mono is a Masterpiece. It is literal perfection and Indigo is such a great follow-up. We are truly privileged to be living in the time of a genius

[@youcandoit27]

​@@HBoyle I wanna produce/write like him!

[@phoebetae675]

About Wild Flower... Really love how RM said he didn't want to be like fireworks, bc even tho it's so flashy and everyone would stop and stare at it in amazement, it also dies so quickly and ppl even forget what they look like in a minute. But flowers, when you throw them in the air and the petals explode, it's so ethereal that even as it falls down, it falls with grace and gives you a lasting impression and a sense of tranquillity. That's how he wants to be, and it's fitting to think that's also how the rest of BTS wanted to be: not just a passing presence in the music world, but ppl that made a genuine impact. 🥺

[@bokzmae]

Well said 👏

[@smcqueen2801]

My favorite part of the album is that it starts off with "ima turn back the time, back the time for to when I was 9"... and the album ends with "no looking back no, no looking back". From A to Z he was pure genius.

[@haidyhatem104]

Mono is dark, raw and painfully beautiful he's in a better place now

[@abiisaqib7816]

So true...Mono will always be no.1 for me...

[@amberpearce710]

So glad he is in a better place…

[@mikks3733]

And then indigo is just the continuation of mono which keeps getting better

[@ningnings12]

Mono fr is a healing album. Indigo is like still life and wild flower scent, im happy he is better too

[@mai_boo]

Lonely came to be when he was in Las Vegas. He felt so traped at that time. His most favourite activity is visiting museums but he couldnt do that too so he was down. He did a live during that stay in LV, he talked about a lot of things how the industry captures us, bts and army in a certain way. Ps. Lonely is the type of song where im dancing my ass out and crying my eyes out at once

[@celine9richardson]

was it the live in the black hoodie where he said he didn't want to have a kid like him? That was a funny description sorry lol

[@douseenow]

It really didn’t help that it was still high pandemic and they were trying not to catch anything

Michael is amazingly brilliant.👌 ❤

[@forg_tful.]

at the end of all day ft. tablo, the line that says "we fly" is a reference to the song fly by epik high (the iconic korean hip hop group tablo is a part of) and that's actually the song that inspired both rm and suga to start rapping. epik high were their idols and now they're great friends making art together, more than a decade later.

[@kabazinga]

there is another line too from fly

[@alipotter0613]

I am ARMY but, as just a music lover, if this is not up for best album at the Grammys there is something wrong. The rapping, the lyrics, the musicality, the variety. Amazing. You should watch his Indigo Magazine Interview where his collaborators are also interviewed.💜

[@shivangiagrawal2665]

The re-listen value of this album is so high. It cannot be said for every album. Most of them have 1-2 good songs. But I can tell it will keep on growing on people for a long time.

[@ashleyder9164]

Agree, strongly. This album is quite literally a work of art.

[@Launibu]

Agree. This is the type of album I play even in the background at home. I can't pick even a top5, I seriously love them all. It's a beautiful album. It is very rare for me to not skip over at least 1 song.

[@shivangiagrawal2665]

@@Launibu Yun is such a vibe to play in the bg tho 🥰

[@mpgisbtsarmybaefighting2838]

@@shivangiagrawal2665 yes, true. Western artists especially are notorious for putting out a 20 song album with 1 or 2 songs worth listening to and the rest is trash totally skipping haha

[@reirarei3303]

For "Forgetful", the producer actually recorded in secret and added to the end, the footsteps and rustle of their clothes when RM was walking with the collaborator. The "Indigo Album Magazine Film" (on BangtanTV) which explains the songs one by one with the collaborators, is a great watch 💜 P/s: For "Yun", the conversation at the end is the actual artist Yun talking about perspectives of being human.

[@AngelaSealana]

I love that you GET IT. Honestly things were connecting for me as I was relistening with you. And yeah honestly it's bittersweet to hear RM say he doesn't consider mono to be much, because I know of artists and fans who consider it a masterpiece.

[@katien3022]

Typical tortured artist. He is a true artist through and through and sadly he will likely always been unsatisfied. But ofc we think it's amazing

[@noodlesoup4531]

hearing him say that about mono was so wild to me...that album saved me

[@loredell]

Angela, you cannot expect him to be in the same state of mind when he wrote and released RM, when he wrote and released mono and when he wrote all these precious songs in Indigo. I don't want anyone being depressed for decades, even though there are cases like that... He said that as soon as he releases something it's because it's free and doesn't feel that way anymore (he said it in his famous vlive too "don't worry, I don't feel like that anymore" because people were worrying about him by listening to/reading the lyrics). For me it's not bittersweet. Mono is free to drink from it whoever needs it lyrically, or even once in a while coming back to it. I love all the songs with a passion, but I do understand what he meant by it. Maybe he felt he exposed too much, or also that he doesn't feel like that, he might think of himself as a whiner. Coming back to the Korean culture, that's a big one. And the idol culture to add to it. Like they sang in Ugh "you have money, why do you complain?". So yeah, he let go mono as well as he's let Indigo go now. He'll promote, he'll sing, but the songs are no longer his. No longer his current state of mind. Even if the underlying meaning of it all remains in his being, his state right now is different. :* Rest assured, the songs belong to us now. They are precious. He's the artist that carved them to get the pain out. As all creation is pain (he even said this to Pharrell). Some of it doesn't need to be relived. Hugs!

[@AngelaSealana]

@@loredell oh certainly, I didn't mean to suggest that he needs to stand behind every work he's ever done. As an artist myself, I can very much relate to him.

[@kismi695]

Because according to RM mono it's dark past

[@TayaTawan]

When Michael said "F the last song this is my favorite". The cackle I let out was unreal 😂

[@s.susanmarandi9080]

Same. 🤣🤣👍

[@WiseOwl_so_1d_like_to_think]

About the collaborators, do note that Tablo from Epik High also started as a poet/writer and inspired RM to rap and do music with the iconic song, FLY. Also, love that all the women singers on this album are mature talents that he respects: Erikah Badu (51), Youjeen (49 y.o. Rocker), Park Jiyoon (40)…

[@rozinamouz9286]

I am so emotionally attached and grateful for mono that I was almost doubtful I could connect to this album as well as mono. Mono found me in a time when I needed it and sat next to me and comforted me in the dark. I often affectionately call it “if depression was an album”. That being said, I have found myself connecting to Indigo just as much and I suspect in the future even more. It feels like my older self is reaching out and telling me that things will get gradually better. It’s hopeful in a non-flashy way, in a way that I wish to be as a person. I dont know how to explain it but Namjoon feels like a kindred spirit. The sentiment in forg_tful is one Ive carried around all my life. Lonely expresses the feelings i have living in a foreign country where it’s difficult for me to make friends. Closer encapsulates my longing to be close to people, to feel close. Wildflower portrays my desire for a gentle happy life, not a fiery and explosive one. No.2 is older me telling me that I’m in the right path, not because it was the right one but because I’m walking it. Namjoon’s music has a sort of butterfly effect on me. A small difference that touched and shaped my life in a gentle yet significant way. Sorry for the long comment, this music has a soul spilling effect on me😆

[@rs109]

Lovely comment

[@hannaquinn5789]

Omg I feel the same fucking way!!!!

[@ahsirt1692]

I love how the songs in this album are so different from each other but also tightly go together its like a gradient of colors.

[@kelsgm19]

Replay value of this album is insane it's like I'm addicted to it, it really resonated with me. I think it's because I love so many genres like namjoon does and it all balances out

[@user.....l8193]

30:00 HE SAID, IT WAS 10 DIFFERENT GENRES. AND I COULDN'T AGREE MORE, BECAUSE THIS WHOLE ALBUM IS SO BEAUTIFUL.

[@lealarsen2017]

wow this must be the best review of indigo until now. you really get RM and can relate and understand him. other reactors go with the feel of the songs and not valuing the lyrics to as much as you do. it´s so nice to see because RM shines in his lyrics

[@saraholadiran7005]

33:27 Pdogg is the only one that can produce a happy beat to a fvckin sad song 😅😂 Me, going around screaming: "I'm fvckin lonely" randomly while smiling 😭😅😂

[@clover2739]

Honestly I think you would adore epik high which is the khip hop group that tablo is in, they’re the group that inspired both suga and rm to start rapping and they’ve been in the industry for quite a while, they are a lot of kpop idols inspiration and they really respect and love bts as well. You would be mind blown with their lyrics, especially Taboo’s I have been waiting for RM and Tablo to do a song together for years because they both are the definition of giving you an existential crisis with their lyrics. I was actually surprised the song was more upbeat but I’m not complaining. Suga also produced a song for them as well called ‘eternal sunshine’ I know you have a lot of artists to react to but if you ever get a chance to listen to an epik high album I think you’d love it. If you ever do I would recommend the albums ‘we’ve done something wonderful’ or ‘epik high is here part 1’ for a first listen to

[@mariajin9836]

If you loved the interview, you'll LOVE the mini-documentary he released about the album on the BangtanTV youtube channel! It even interviews the feature artists and their experience with him. RM goes so deep into every step of his process.

I didn’t watch the interview that you did, but I watched a different interview where he talked about the songs from this album, and Still Life, was the name of an art exhibit he attended at a museum, years ago. He said that he was struck by how all the flowers and fruit in the paintings had been dead and decayed hundreds of years ago in some cases, but still looked fresh on the canvas. And then he drew the parallel to his life. So much of his life has been captured, not on canvas, but on video. But the RM captured in those moments is not who he is anymore because he keeps changing and developing and moving on from moment to moment. It’s a cool concept but for some reason it also made me a little bit sad.

[@alanna9866]

He is so artistic, he puts his true emotions into his music. You know, I'm just glad he was honest with us, and he wasn't afraid to show us his art. Because "Indigo", is a whole art exhibition.

[@ami7873]

This album already has such a special place in my heart. I’m glad namjoon (rm) said that once he releases the music, it’s not his anymore. It’s the audiences. Because this albums feels like mine.

Namjoon is really amazing. Were so lucky to be living in the same time as him and his music.

Indigo is my favorite album. Ever. It just so Namjoon. Maybe because he's my bias but this album is like wrote for me. It's just perfect. I'm listening to Indigo since it was released. Day and night. I love BTS' albums, i love the mixtapes i love JITB but Indigo has "IT" for me💙💙💙

namjoon is a genius and indigo is his masterwork. every track of the album belongs to namjoon.

[@anitaherbert1037]

When I bought this album I had no idea how much I would love it. How I would admire the creative and exquisite choice of collaborative partners. As a painter the imagery is so satisfying. This album made me think, made me smile. If this album does not become a cult classic constantly rediscovered by future generations....... there is no lovers of great music in the future. To be honest this album can make you fall in love with RM. As it is I sing Lonely around the house especially the line "so fuckin lonely na honja seome." Such a covid song. ..... put this album on repeat and let yourself be.

[@MBella123]

Your channel is my favorite reaction/analysis channel because you really listen to the music, try to understand the message of the lyrics and you’re always very respectful, I’ve never seen you make a bad comment, a bad joke full of prejudice, you’re always nice. 💜 I would love if you could check out another artist that I really love, she’s a Norwegian girl called Aurora. Her songs are so meaningful 🥺

[@annreign2556]

I adore it when you review BTS albums because you truly get it.. You have come to understand the person behind the art and how much of their bare souls go into their music. You listen with sincerity and it's so lovely.. By the way, I had the same reaction to Change pt.2! The ever-changing dissonance was so deliciously perfect and RM's delivery was so unusual, dark and grungy, though it wasn't loud or forceful. He said he recorded it when he was drunk to the beat of a metronome. I think eAeon who produced the track did an incredible job with all those strange sounds that were perfectly dissonant. They really are not nt to be together, but produce such a fascinating clash that it has me hooked. Indigo is such a work of art and heart.. I'm so damn proud of Namjoon. From the lyricism to the delivery and every single artistic choice, he displayed such depth and knowledge. Coz how do you create an album so diverse with all these artists and know exactly who you need on which track to express exactly what you mean? RM mentioned that each of the collaborators were his first choice for each song and that's crazy.. It's also a testament to his artistry that he could bring all of them together to create this masterpiece..

[@julycarolina88]

been waiting for this every day since indigo released, thank you!!

[@1218jannas]

Oo yes, I agree change pt 2 is incredible- def my fave! The lyrics, the change in the song where it sounds like 3 different songs in one, and the production is amazing! I feel like I've heard other people criticize the song since it's " not the norm" and they say no one would like it, which is strongly dissagree. As an avid electronic music fan and producer myself, I love that he took those risks. It's not easy to do, it's an amazingly composed song that doesn't follow a formula but works so well. He is showcasing his true artistry here. Much love!

[@lina808waterwings]

Thank you for your intelligent reaction. I shall stay around to give this way of running your reaction a big chance. Aloha from Hawaii! It's a great time to be on a break!

[@aishwaryaahirrao]

*After listening to & reading the lyrics of **#indigo** & all i can say is that namjoon was born for this; one of the greatest songwriters & lyricists to exist..Thank you for this masterpiece joon! Thank you for Indigo* I love how both "Jack In The Box" & "Indigo" dwell deeper into the depth of BTS members' artistry & show a side that we haven't seen but remains entirely different. JITB is more explosive, like firecrackers with bursts of spark. While indigo is very tranquil yet just as powerful.🍃 JITB is a forest fire 🔥 & Indigo is the ocean on an overcast day🌊 ..it perfectly reflects each member ✨ can’t wait for other members’ upcoming solo albums!💜 now about the title track: Namjoon struggling dealing with fame and all its trappings, trying not to lose sight of himself while the whole world watches his every move. The fireworks/wild flower/flower work lyric actually came from his post back in 2017 titled 불꽃놀이the Korean title of "Wild Flower," which rhymes with (firework). He said, "Perhaps in our lives we need wild flowers [ 들꽃; deulkkot]-rather than flames [불꽃; bulkkot] or cherry blossoms [ 벚꽃; beotkkot]- in bloom, tranquilly." It's flower work because wildflowers are like fire works, they spread through the field just like how fireworks spread through the sky except Namjoon is saying he wants to live as a calm wildflower rather than a flashy quickly disappearing firework. So instead of living like fire flowers that is brilliant but would quickly disappear, namjoon would like to live more like wildflowers that are calm and tranquil. He used 불꽃 wordplay in prev work too Him wanting a life like a tranquil wild flower instead of a flashy firework that is quick to burn out. He always paints such a personal and powerful image.

[@mae__]

Great breakdown and analysis, really appreciated all your commentaries throughout! Change pt.2 at first listen I couldn't even form an opinion on it, it's just under 2min but man what a crazy 2min. On second listen I digested and by 3rd listen I just totally fell in love with the genius of that song! And the fact that he recorded this drunk and that it was just the demo it just feels so raw! All 10 tracks have such strong and different identities! And I totally confirm the replay value is high, I believe most tracks are gonna stay with me for a long time

There are no words that can even begin to describe how much of a genius Namjoon is. He blended his love of music, nature, poetry and art so perfectly in this album. His lyrics hit you right in the heart and make you feel heard and understood. Also can we talk about his vocals in Forg_tful?? Like please what can't this man do? And that last lyric of Lonely destroyed me, as well as the entirety of Wild Flower. Every single song is an absolute masterpiece, there are 0 skips. Catchy melodies, meaningful lyrics, fire production, insane collabs, visuals, vocals, honesty, RANGE!!! This album has it all. It's going to be a classic for sure! He poured his heart and soul, and it was so gut-wrenchingly beautiful!!! Everyone please keep streaming Indigo on all platforms, let's do this for Namjoon because he deserves every bit of success!

So Seoul is the Capital City of South Korea, and it's pronounced just like the word Soul. About the flowers with no names. I interpreted that to be ARMY's, because he's RM, and that is not really a name, he is still trying to find Real Me, and ARMY's are many times just faces to him, because when he see's us, there are upwards of 50.000 of us at a time. So he couldn't know our names, he just knows us as ARMY's. He want's to be with the flowers with no names. I dont know if it's right, but the purple represents ARMY, and the flower petals flying around him are purple flower petals in the field of lavendar wild flowers. I really love this video and I love his music. This is his final archive of his 20's. He just turned 28 in September, and in Korean age he turns 30 on January 1st, so he considers himself 30 now. A fun fact - for his performance in Seoul at Rolling Hall, he held a raffle for 200 ARMY's, to win a ticket to his performance. It's a small performance hall that holds 200 people, and when he was an underground rapper, he dreamed about performing there. He chose this place for perfoming INDIGO with some of his Korean collaborators, and he had ARMY's come without their ARMY Bombs or Cell Phones. He was so happy. He got to be with the flowers with no names, and he could see their faces up close in an intimate setting. What I would have given to be there. If you get a chance, you should watch it. That would be an awesome reaction. This youtube creator does BTS subtitles and translations using doolset bangtan, and she has most of their solo projects subtitled, with live performances. She has the Rolling Hall perforances broken up into single or double songs. www.youtube.com/@EnjoyBTSmore/videos

not sure if you had already planned to but i really recommend you watch the Indigo Magazine Film that was released on the BangtanTV youtube channel, they go into depth on the meaning of every single song and interviews with RM and all the collaborators for each track, talking about how they made everything. it's truly fascinating and will give such a better insight into everything.

You should watch the NPR Tiny Desk concert he did where he explains the inspiration for Yun and Still Life, which are both based on things he realised in museums

[@rema51095]

He's truly an amazing artist 🔥🔥

[@yoongerines]

honestly, i have never heard a more cohesive album by any artist. this album is art before it is music, just how namjoon had mentioned. this is a literal masterpiece, i would be very surprised if this is not nominated for big award ceremony next year.

RM en un podcast dijo que queria ser poeta, de ahí empezó su amor por escribir, el es un poeta AMO sus trabajos estoy muy orgulloso de el, mono is my favorite mixtape

[@MaikaDomgezSoto]

Bueno, ganó un concurso de poesía en primaria o secundaria no recuerdo. Mal no lo hacía ya desde muy peque. :-)

@@MaikaDomgezSoto es un gran compositor

ive been thinking this for awhile but all of bts' music so far, group projects or solo, are all diaries entries. the beginning of this song when he says he imagined an end where he can applaud and smile even before they fully started their career is so reminiscent of the sentiment and messages of hyyh pt 2 album (the most beautiful moments in life part 2). When he says the line about even becoming friends with his shadows is pulling directly from the map of the soul era when they delved in deep into their psyche and came to terms with everything between bright and dark within them. That was necessary for them to give us what this era (chapter 2) is. Towards the end of this song when he says he'll plant his feet now but he'll return some day is on beat with the messages of Yet To Come. They truly let us witness and learn from their growth as people and public figures from their bodies of work. Its honestly a privilege to be able to consume their art.

[@sharonlahaye5803]

Please react to, or listen on your own, RM ‘Indigo’ Album Magazine Film on BangtanTV, where RM talks about each song, his inspiration, why he chose the featured artist, and where he is in his life right now. Genius!
