Slated for a simultaneous global release at 1 PM on September 8 (KST), tracks from V's debut solo album 'Layover' have swiftly taken the top spots on the Billboard Hot Trending Daily Chart.
Due to the explosive support from global fans, the title track 'Slow Dancing' clinched the top spot first, followed by 'Love Me Again' and 'Rainy Days' which alternated to decorate the first position.

It brings to mind BTS's solo track, the neo-soul R&B 'Singularity', which previously earned praises as the "ultimate R&B" and was recognized by the UK's Guardian as '2018's Top Track', New York Times as '2018 Song of the Year', and LA Times' '2018 Top Ten Songs'.
V has been lauded for his deep and rich tonal quality and exceptional ability to interpret and perfectly convey complex songs.
From the R&B track 'Love Me Again', characterized by V's uniquely alluring deep vocals, to 'Rainy Days' which pays homage to Old School R&B with a modern sound twist, V's album is filled with rare gems, often hard to find in typical idol songs.
