    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.

    This is no doubt one of my favorite albums of my life. He writes such beautiful lyrics they can make me cry. He is a more than a lyricist, a poet. I hope he will never stop sharing his art with us.

    Namjoon is such a compelling story teller. Listening to the album in order; you are taken on a journey on his life, showcasing his inner thoughts and being reflective on his life experiences.

    I recommend listening in order. The collaborators and genres are diverse but the lyrics and theme blend so well together going in order. Highly highly advise reading lyrics. It reads like poetry and i think the feelings and lyrics are selivered in a way that anyone can relate to. Masterpiece

    I am so grateful to RM. This album is so meaningful and intimate. Namjoon says goodbye to his 20 and lets us see his side of the coin. This album is for those of us who started in our 20s, the older brothers, the middle ones, the younger ones, for those who are adults and feel lost, for those who feel lonely, It is for those who are losing the meaning of life.

    The first track really set the tone for the overall feel of the album, I don't mean sonically though but emotionally.

    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.

    One of the best songwriters of all time. If only people tried to look into his English lyric translations, they would realize how genius this man is. This album is an artwork created by the artist Kim Namjoon. Every single track is a masterpiece. He just doesn't get the praise he deserves. One day y'all will realize how badly y'all slept on him.

    Indigo as an album is so upbeat and refreshing. A taste of fresh air in a time when very other artist is chasing for the next best thing to get it ‘viral’.

    This album is an absolute delight, seemingly at first without a particular genre but after multiple listens establishes itself as a mainstay. Personally LOVE "Closer" and "Lonely" but every song has now imprinted itself on my heart and this is an album i will be listening to over and over for years to come.
    An absolute GEM of an album.

    This album has stepped up as my all time favorite one.

Namjoon is a poet, but even if don’t care about lyrics, the beats stand on its own as well. I love this album so much, I could write an essay for each song, but no one is going to read it, so I do recommend it to give a listen & come up with your own conclusions. I’m sure we’re going to agree, it’s ART.… Expand

    Where do I start… I think it is unfair to reduce Namjoon to just a singer, a rapper, or an idol. He’s an ARTIST, and this album proves it. His pen is just out of this world. There isn’t a single skip in this album. I’m still obsessed with every single song on it, months after its release. My favorites might be Wildflower, Hectic and Closer, but I genuinely love the entire album.

    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,

    There is no one track I don't like. The conceptual aspects of each song are incredible, especially Yun - artistry and legacy between life and death - and Still Life - relativity of motion. I was afraid that the number of collaborations would make this album feel cluttered but it's the opposite. It truly feels like everyone further highlights RM's singing, rapping or both.

    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.
