When K-Pop Supergroup BTS became a global phenomenon, it was widely speculated that they wouldn’t last long. However, the septet has proved the sceptics wrong by continuing to rule the popularity charts. With the release of its latest album, looks like the band is here to stay. ‘Map of the Soul: 7’ shows the group’s ability to look beyond K-pop with the album being a mix of styles — ballads, rap, electro-disco, Latin, progressive and some Disney-esque music.
“The emotions in our songs are something that our generation and everyone around the world can relate to,” said leader RM at the Map of the Soul: 7 global press conference that was streamed live on YouTube.
The album, which has a total of 20 tracks, of which 15 are new and five part of the previous album ‘Map of the Soul: Persona’, was released on February 21. It is said to be one of their biggest and most intricate productions, since the launch of Connect: BTS — a global project that connected 22 artistes and five cities. Their latest offering weaves in Carl Jung’s philosophies and tells the story of the band members’ journey along with references to their earlier works.
