    RM has come a long way since his mixtape mono. Both offer insight into both interpersonal and existential loneliness through the lyrics and themes, but Indigo dives further by offering a beautiful genre exploration, and a reflection on RM’s recent experiences in his 20s.

    An alluring exploration into his interpretations of the connection between life and death in art with his personal life. He showcases an extraordinary depth in his honest and introspective lyricism and the range of colours in his sound. Stunning features that are wholesomely incorporated and blend perfectly. As a lover of art, a beautiful tribute to Yun Hyong-Keun's legacy.

    The masterpiece I can’t stop listening to. The mix of nature and modern culture is immaculate and I think this is just a beginning for Namjoon. Huge amount of references make me wanna learn Korean and parse every song into quotes. And of course I have no favourites here it’s impossible to choose one. And a great thing about the album is that I can listen to it day and night in any mood.

    I can't get enough of this roller coaster ride through RM's heart and soul. Wildflower alone makes this album more than worth the price of admission, and each song is a little curveball that reminds you that Kim Namjoon is one of the most underrated lyricists around. Just like with mono., he's made an album that I can't see splitting up for playlists. I need the whole thing every time!

The way he is able to turn his own stories into universal messages is impressive to say the least and something rare in today's day and age where music is quickly consumed.

    As listening to Namjoon’s previous works I had some expectations. Not music wise (maybe a little), but more of what I would feel after Indigo release.

Not music wise (maybe a little), but more of what I would feel after Indigo release. When listening to RM, his first mixtape, I always got a feeling of an, may I say, angsty teen. “I can prove it to you all, I have so much more to show”, something along these lines. mono., his second playlist, on the other hand, is a lot different. It does have correlations to his first mixtape with songs like Life, I’d say. But overall it’s more soft, less angry. It is comforting you emotionally, doesn’t really matter if you’re into other music genres. Someone said mono. feels like standing in a rain with a friend. It fits very well, as Namjoon is addressing rain is his friend in one of the songs.
    And then we have Indigo. For me it felt like this teen RM and young adult Namjoon finally understood each other, live in the same world, breath the same air. Adult Namjoon found a peace with those different personas. Or, at least, a way to find it.
    Eight out of ten songs are collaborations. Which is not a bad thing at all, as some claimed. One other artist I admire once admitted that he can express himself better through working with others, which is why he doesn’t have much solo songs. And knowing this helped me better understand why Namjoon chose to do a similar thing in Indigo.
    Every artist in this album has their own style, way of living, thoughts, identities, really different life’s from one another. Namjoon managed to show color of every of these artists, but not forgetting about his own. And as Namjoon himself said, does feel like an exhibition of some sort.
    For me, All Day with Tablo, Hectic with Colde and Change pt.2 prod. eAeon give off this feeling the most. The reason probably is in that I did listen to them outside of Indigo for quite some time. And in Indigo I can see their colors mixed with Namjoon’s, something very new, but familiar in a way.
    Stories behind the album, lyrics and sounds, they all form an exceptional form of art. They make you feel, make you think, make you feel seen and understood. Indigo is something that will stay with you for a long time, even if not on a first listen.

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

    Every collab in this album has a reason, they are all connected to the stories RM wanted to tell from his 20s.

The album starts with how an artist first needs to live, and be a human to create art, using legendary Erykah Badu to convey the message more convincingly, a person who has been through more and carries that belief in her life as an artist. Then it has many questionings, many things he wants to do, many disappointments and decisions he makes in the middle. They are conveyed in a way like he is thinking to himself, he is trying to decide or undecide like in a conflict. Which becomes even more apparent with the title track; Wildflower, the 9th track. The song starts with conclusion, and then the journey to the conclusion is given to the listeners. Just like how the album started with "being a human before making art", in this song too RM is trying to be human, and wants to get rid of the greed and unending desires fame brings. And while the shows he gives as BTS may seem like "fireworks" impressive but dying out quickly, he says he wants to bloom underneath all the sparkles like wildflowers, slowly, under his control only. Which is something BTS has always shared, creating a legacy and growing as humans and artists first, so this message is not surprising to fans. This desire explodes in RM cos of all the blabbering happening around him whether it be industry people or netizens or anyone else, and this explosion is given to the listeners with the powerful forceful voice of Youjeen, the lead vocalist of legendary rock band from Korea; Cherry Filter. Hearing the journey to this conclusion may feel bittersweet, the ending only brings bliss and hope for the future.
    So the album has an extra conclusion made by RM, shared with us in the last track; No.2 which the name comes from "chapter 2" as in moving forward. He decides he won't be looking back and wondering if he should have made different choices, if he could have done better, or if he could have done less mistakes... He decides this version of his life and himself is the best he could get just like in "Doctor Strange" as he tells his fans, and he brings another legendary sound from Korea, Park Ji Yoon; another senior to convey the message "you will protect yourself from now on, dont look back anymore, you've done your best" in a way a senior comforts a younger artist.
    Last two tracks concludes the album with "I will stay me, and i will keep moving forward only". A rare statement you can get from an artist these days especially with them sharing the real journey with this level of sincerity.
    In its totality; the album has 10 different genres from folk, r&b, to pop, city pop to rock... He always gives the song what it needs naturally with no forceful sounds. He is a poet at heart, that is how he started and this album demonstrated is perfectly. And because he is the owner of all the messages in this album, he knows how each of them should be delivered which i think it is one of the reasons this album has moments that can be so relatable to a listener at some point in their lives, and become part of their lives comfortably like a "worn out jeans" as he says.
    I would like to give this album a 9.9 but it deserves a 10. I would want to give 9.9 because some are saying this album is "his masterpiece" and while this album is a masterpiece of an album 100%, I know deep down as RM being a person that always betters himself, always adds something to his views, ideas, techniques and pen... I know the best is still yet to come.    … 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.

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

    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.
