Indigo: RM in His 20s -- Our Hot Take On An Album of Heals and Feels.
With his first official solo album, RM's Indigo is an audio portrait of his inner life...a rich reflection of his later twenties. Over ten songs, he grapples with living and creatively working while also being one of the most famous people on the planet. We've seen a lot of emotion from Kim Namjoon in this second chapter and the album (which he requests we listen to in order) delivers on raw vulnerability and introspection. Get into all the healing and feeling with your hosts as we give our individual reactions.
