V‘s solo debut with Layover marks a significant milestone, especially since his fellow BTS members have all done solo work in the past year. His album is a collaboration with ADOR CEO and NewJeans mastermind Min Heejin, who spearheaded its production. Fans can expect Layover to have a strong R&B influence. For instance, “Love Me Again” is a light R&B song that highlights V’s unique baritone, while “Rainy Days” harmoniously blends his vocals with the soothing sound of rain.
The upcoming weeks will be exhilarating for ARMY worldwide. With the 95-liner‘s solo debut on the horizon and his enchanting magazine features, there’s no doubt that September will indeed be Kim Taehyung’s month. – K-Pop News Writer
