RM Announces Solo Album 'Indigo'
The BTS leader notes that the record “will be very different” from his past releases.
BTS‘ RM has officially announced his upcoming solo album, Indigo.
Set to release on December 2, the record will mark his debut studio effort and will follow his mixtapes Mono and RM, which were released in 2018 and 2015, respectively. “Finally, my 1st album will be releasing thanks to everyone,” the BTS leader wrote on WeVerse. “I worked hard on it for the past 4 years … It will be very different from my past projects, and a lot of fun friends are gathered in it. Please wish me well until December 2.”
In a recent Rolling Stone cover story with Pharrell, RM opened up about how his time away from BTS helped him focus on his solo music. “I was just a small rapper and lyricist when I was young. So it was 10 years, really intense as a team. And I actually was in charge of almost all of the interviews and representing the team in front of the other members. That was my role, I guess. I think I got really . . . I don’t know, ‘Yo, I got to stop this for a bit. I got to shut it down and fall away from it and then just see what’s going on,’ making my mind really calm down,” he said. “That’s how I got to concentrate on my solo [album]. These days I really have been thinking about when I first listened to you, the first feeling and the vibe, and the reason why I started, why I chose music for my whole life, I guess.”
