MUSE, arriving one year and four months after the release of his first solo album FACE, continues Jimin’s path of self-discovery. Having led the overall production of the album, Jimin explores his journey to find his source of inspiration while showcasing an expanded musical palette.
Interconnected with the theme of ‘love,’ the album tells the story of making various attempts at finding real, genuine love and losing one’s way at times across its seven tracks: ‘Rebirth (Intro)’, ‘Interlude: Showtime‘, pre-release track ‘Smeraldo Garden Marching Band’ (feat. Loco), ‘Slow Dance‘ (feat. Sofia Carson), ‘Be Mine‘, main track ‘Who‘, and ‘Closer Than This‘. Jimin participated in the songwriting for six of these tracks, demonstrating his multifaceted talent by blending his soft, sentimental vocals with trendy, dance-heavy tunes.
Jimin’s second solo album boasts a star-studded producer line-up, which includes Pdogg, GHSTLOOP, and EVAN, whom Jimin teamed up with on FACE, Grammy-nominated producer and singer-songwriter Jon Bellion, megahit producer Tommy Brown, along with producers Pete Nappi and Tenroc. While Jimin’s voice solely filled the entirety of FACE, MUSE features charming harmonies with special collaborators—South Korean rapper Loco and multi-platinum singer and actress Sofia Carson.
The main track ‘Who‘ encapsulates the key message of MUSE. Its electrifying bounce and guitar performance intensify the appeal of this R&B, hip-hop track, reminiscent of the sound that dominated the early 2000s. Jimin sings of heartfelt moments and the confusing emotions of longing for someone that one has yet to meet. The contrast between the vigorous beat, which elicits a sexy, bold image, and the tender lyrics, expressing an aspiration to find true love, marks the highlight of the track. Jimin’s smooth, versatile voice makes the track delightfully infectious, while the intricate acoustic guitar instrumentals and dynamic bounce add to the song’s exceptionally catchy quality. With its trendy reinterpretation of the retro 2000s sound, “Who” is an irresistible hit sure to define today’s pop sound.
MUSE is now available on all streaming platforms worldwide. Jimin will be unveiling additional album-related content throughout July to early August, including the first-ever TV performance of ‘Who‘ on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on July 23 KST.
