RM, the leader of the globally popular boy band BTS, has released the highly anticipated music video for his latest song, “Still Life”. The song is a duet with American singer Anderson Park and features on RM’s debut solo album, “Indigo”, which was released on December 2nd, 2022.
Directed by Bang Jaeyeob, who has previously worked with BTS member J-Hope, Stray Kids, and WayV, the “Still Life” video is a visually stunning work of art. In the video, RM boards a train and as he sits down, the world around him freezes. He watches as people and objects are suspended in time, frozen in mid-air.
The video’s aesthetic is both beautiful and haunting, with the colors of the train and the surrounding landscape appearing muted and subdued. RM’s powerful vocals, along with Anderson Park’s smooth delivery, provide a captivating soundtrack to the stunning visuals.
“Still Life” is the second single from “Indigo”, following the release of “Wild Flower”, which was a collaboration with Korean singer Park Ji-yoon. The album features a diverse range of artists, including Erika Badu, Korean rappers Tablo and Colde, and Korean rock star Youjeen.
The album has been highly anticipated by fans of BTS and RM’s solo work. RM, whose real name is Kim Namjoon, has previously released solo music under the name RM, including the mixtapes “RM” and “Mono”. His solo work often explores themes of self-discovery and introspection, and “Indigo” is no exception.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, RM explained the meaning behind the album’s title, saying, “I chose the title ‘Indigo’ because it’s a color that’s often associated with introspection and spirituality. It’s also a color that can represent both sadness and hope, and I wanted to explore that duality on this album.”
The release of “Indigo” and the “Still Life” music video come at an exciting time for RM and BTS, who are set to embark on a world tour in 2023. The tour will see the group perform in stadiums across the globe, including in Europe, North America, and Asia.
BTS has become a global phenomenon in recent years, with their music and message resonating with fans around the world. The group’s music often addresses themes of self-love, acceptance, and social justice, and they have become known for their positive and empowering message.
RM, as the group’s leader and main rapper, has been instrumental in shaping BTS’s sound and message. His solo work, including “Indigo” and “Still Life”, is a continuation of that message and a testament to his talents as a musician and artist.
The release of the “Still Life” music video is sure to excite fans of BTS and RM, who will no doubt appreciate the stunning visuals and powerful vocals. With the upcoming world tour and the continued success of BTS, it seems that RM’s solo career is only just beginning.
