    The lyricism is top notch. In this period when music is losing it's meaning with useless, copied, repetitive and straight up stupid lyrics, this whole album is a breath of fresh air.

His work really is really exquisite and can be compared with top artists of the industry. At this point boxing him in KPOP industry just seems funny, he's taking himself and his band way above and beyond.Excellent and Incredible!!! Can't wait for new work Expand

    This was such a refreshing and calming album. RM truly delivers with every tracks with this one, every collaborations on this album serves a purpose and dynamic identity for the album which is hard thing to do specially when it comes to collaborative songs. The songs that stands out the most for me is Yun, Still Life, Hectic, Lonely, Closer,

    Indigo is like a piece of art! As an art lover, I will be listening to it, savouring it, live with it for a long time! Namjoon is a genius poet! The way he creates imagery with his words makes you think, makes you feel and turns you inside out! Incredible!

    An album that embodies RM's thinkings and emotions. I already know he is a prolific lyricist and a poet who raps cooly but this album showcased his humanistic rawness, ideals, uniqueness and deep emotions.

    I would never give an album an actual 10/10 but Indigo felt like it deserved it and more. Thematically, it is an amazingly cohesive album with clear messages and a boy spelling out thoughts and experience of his 20s through poetry and rhythm. It’s relatable in many ways more than one where each song held concepts that are so raw and real, especially for a first official solo album.I would never give an album an actual 10/10 but Indigo felt like it deserved it and more.

It’s relatable in many ways more than one where each song held concepts that are so raw and real, especially for a first official solo album. Sonically it’s great with different musical takes and genre’s whether it’s a mellow ballad, rock essence or a male-filled city pop (a rare thing to see for sure), it was refreshing and never dull or boring. In terms of features, every artist felt like they held a special place and were placed in the right places, their different voices carry out thoughts and words that serve as a reality check for many (including RM himself). Additionally, despite the number of features it never felt like anything but a fully RM record which is something that he should be praised for as the very core of the album is very personal to him.
    Finally, my personal favorite song on the album at the moment is probably No. 2 as lyrically it speaks to me and my personal experiences. There is also something so special about ending this very touching album with the affirmative and self-uplifting words saying “now you will protect you”. Thus, I can bravely and happily say that this album deserves so much praise and attention. I hope RM the best on his future career and whatever he decides to venture into next!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. RM has made yet another outstanding album! To start, the overall theme seems to show a person with multiple things that make up their identity. Broken down though each song has an individual theme that ties to the next song. Each song flows together and is overall a well rounded album. The placement of each song has been well thought out and. Yun is the opening track and gives the overall vibe of being tired of everyone who doubts and dislikes them. The title track Wild Flower is a griping piece of art that hits you right in the heart. It gives a sense of sadness and yet also a sense of peace. The last song of this wonderful album is No.2 which completes the album with the thought of being yourself regardless of anyone else. Expand

    The scope of genres of this album is amazing. The 10 tracks are so different from each other you would think it was mainly sang and written by 10 different artists. And yet, RM was able to meld them in one album that shows his maturity, range, artistry and versatility. I hope everyone would give this album a listen top to bottom. Best 30mins of your day no doubt.

When Joon said we'll know why he chose to collaborate with the artists he chose when we listen to the album he was right. He also said this album is light an exhibition or art work he personally curated. It made me happy. Seeing the videos explaining his creative process with all the collaborators, it just made listening to the album in order even better. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. INDIGO is an album that would fit and describe any circumstance that A person needs to. My special fave is the TITLE TRACK "WILDFLOWER" Wildflower gives u an open opportunity to grief with all the what ifs in ur life and then gives u hope at the same time. It shows that you have the voice to say that u are hurting but at then gave u the hope that we all have ways to be change our fate Expand

    This album contains REAL music that we missed to hear for a long time. I really like it how various genres in it. Closer gets me but Wild Flower so special for both RM and fans. We need more music like this. Enough with songs that full empty words. BTS leader always showed his hard work and sincere in both group's music and solo music, he is the best.

    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.

    I had incredibly high expectations of this album, and actually tried to moderate myself because RM had indicated that this work was unlike anything previous. I really did not know what to expect, despite knowing his talent. I was not disappointed. If anything he managed to surprise me again, just when I thought it was impossible for me to have more respect for his work.

    I had incredibly high expectations of this album, and actually tried to moderate myself because RM had indicated that this work was unlike anything previous. I really did not know what to expect, despite knowing his talent. I was not disappointed. If anything he managed to surprise me again, just when I thought it was impossible for me to have more respect for his work.

    This album demonstrates his incredible range as a musical artist, but it also is lyrically beautiful. Full of raw emotion and vulnerability, tempered by an edge of defiance. Read the lyrics, especially if you do not speak Korean.

    Give this album an earnest listen. This isn't what the general public seems to think BTS is. BTS have never been what they are pigeon-holed as. They are often misunderstood, their lyricism ignored because of the industry they have come from, but this work in particular has a gravity that deserves some attention. I hope people greet it with open minds and hearts.

    Kim Namjoon had hoped that this album would stay with us a long time. I can confidently say I will hold it carefully always, like a leaf in my palm.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have been eagerly expecting this album and it absolutely did not disappoint. The mixture of genres and the diversity of the featured artists keeps it fresh and exciting with every listen, but still feels absolutely cohesive as a journey through RM's trials and tribulations through his 20's, and ending on a hopeful note of moving forward and not looking back with regrets. A truly exhilarating emotional rollercoaster. Make sure to remove the shuffle option to listen in the order the artist intended and prepare to chill, groove, dance, smile, reflect, empathize, look inwards, shed some tears and finish on a cathartic note, looking only forward and not back. No regrets, no nevers. Expand

    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. His previous work, mono, was a mood playlist, but Indigo is more like a journal recording different thoughts and feelings.

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.

Yun ft Erykah Badu was very 90s hip hop, was not expecting it, but very much loved it. I continued on with the album since I enjoyed Yun so much and most of the songs gave very different vibes. I decided to delve into the lyrics since when it comes to Rap, lyrics are 100% one of the most important components of the song, Closer and Change pt. 2 were the only songs in full English so I had to look for translations. The lyrics for WildFlower especially were beautiful, thoughtful, and sincere. I enjoyed the album full 10 for me. My favorite song was Yun of course my next two would be Closer and Hectic. Change Pt. 2 was probably my least favorite but still enjoyable nonetheless. He's made a fan out of me. Expand

    I enjoyed this record, though I would have preferred fewer collabs and more rm. I felt the record was not
    very cohesive in favor of stylistic diversity (to
    Attract collabs? Follow trends?) RM is one of my favorite artists, so there are a couple of tracks I will def listen to again and again.

    Indigo is an eye-opening taste of what RM is truly capable of outside the bounds of the K-pop powerhouse.
  2. 100
    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.
  3. 60
    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.
