After releasing two successful solo mixtapes in 2015 and 2018, RM, member of K-Pop boy group BTS, finally debuted with a solo album, titled “Indigo” and featuring collaborations with nine incredible artists.
The album made up of 10 tracks is filled with many life-changing moments and unforgettable memories, as the leader of one of the world’s most popular music groups, RM often explores his solo music and builds his own identity while appreciating what it means to be one of the seven members of the acclaimed group.
“Of course, the group is an essential part of my life. But it doesn’t really represent who I am as a person, I had to release this album to stand on my own as an individual“.
In an interview with Hypebeast magazine shortly after the album’s release, the singer said that “Indigo” was important to him because he could maintain his identity after more than nine years with his group mates.

“It feels like I finally finished the task I had put off for so long, it also feels like a bid for the RM brand and I’m proud to leave a record of the ups and downs at the end of my 20s“.
After the album received critical acclaim and he was able to collaborate with some of his biggest role models, one would think it would take RM a while to enjoy the success of the release, but in the interview he shared that he is already working on his next musical project.
“Creating Indigo was hard work, so I wanted to take a break after releasing it, but when I released it, I found a new inspiration and wanted to make new music, I realized that I’m not really the type to take a break“.
