    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!

    I've been listening to it the whole day and i have to say, it is already one of my all time favorite albums. The way RM talks about life, time and world through his lyrics is unmatched. A great piece of art.

    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 am just so amazed of how he is so impressive in anything he does yet he is simply humble and relatable at the same time.

The songs resonate so much to people in their adulthood. I love the album so I thank Namjoon for sharing it to the world.… Expand

    This album is so beautiful and raw. It's an emotional rollercoaster and extremely unpredictable. I was hesitant of all the features when it was announced but they all fit so well for the songs they were featured on and blended so well with RMs vision.

    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. 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. 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!    … Expand

    An album contain many surprise and emotional for music lovers, but also very friendly to the one who don't listen to hiphop genre often. RM- Kim Namjoon take us to a beautiful journey with many emotions. This album is a shoutout to the world, to the music industry, proving the artistry of an artist.

    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 first track really set the tone for the overall feel of the album, I don't mean sonically though but emotionally. Rm who is widely known as a the philosopher who raps or simply 'the poet' does not disappoint in anyway with his lyricism through out the album. It was a pleasant suprise to hear how sonically diverse the tracks were compared to his work on mono.

    AMAZING ALBUM.
    he's a rapper and a lot of rappers have albums with a lot of collaborations, i really like how he knows who it's best for each track. he specifically choose people that are his friends and no fake emotions are involved... i really got hit after listening it.
    i also almost cried. i'm genuinely in love with how he express himself. so i don't really understand some of the    AMAZING ALBUM.

    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.
