BTS Jungkook Teases Fans with 'GOLDEN' Album Highlights
BTS member Jungkook has unveiled a sneak peek of the tracks from his debut solo album set to release on the 3rd of next month.
On the 31st at midnight (KST), BTS's official SNS platform released a 'GOLDEN PREVIEW' video, letting fans get an early listen to the highlights from the entire 'GOLDEN' album. The video begins with Jungkook walking into an empty warehouse. He effortlessly captures the viewers' attention, standing still, with his first track '3D (feat. Jack Harlow)' playing in the background. This is followed by 'Closer to You' which layers gentle vocals over the soft hum of synthesizers and bass.
Following this summer's global hit song 'Seven (feat. Latto)', parts of the title track 'Standing Next to You' were revealed. The song has a modern twist on the old-school disco funk sound that instantly captures the listener's attention. In the video, Jungkook can be seen lightly dancing around a standing microphone, amplifying expectations for the song's performance.
The Ed Sheeran-assisted 'Yes or No' stands out with Sheeran's signature catchy melody and guitar riffs. It conveys overflowing emotions as it asks a loved one, "Do you feel the same way I do?". The sixth track, 'Please Don't Change (feat. DJ Snake)', is an electronic dance pop song, with ambient synths complementing Jungkook's vocals and enhancing the mood.
'Hate You' is a pop ballad infused with a lo-fi texture of piano playing combined with Jungkook's vocals alone, expressing deep emotions. The video captures the essence of the song with drifting snowflakes. In 'Somebody', neon signs serve as the backdrop to the somber bass and melancholic melody.
'Too Sad to Dance' is an acoustic pop track made up of guitar and keyboard where Jungkook conveys a sorrowful emotion with a calm voice. The final preview, 'Shot Glass of Tears', shows Jungkook walking towards a space marked 'GOLDEN' accompanied by fluttering pieces of confetti, resonating deeply with the viewers.
Jungkook will release his debut solo album 'GOLDEN' simultaneously worldwide at 1 pm on November 3rd. The album, inspired by Jungkook's 'golden moments' as a solo artist, includes a total of 11 songs, featuring the solo single 'Seven' in both Explicit and Clean versions, and '3D'.
Producers Andrew Watt and Cirkut, behind 'Seven', have teamed up again for the title track 'Standing Next to You'. Jungkook is expected to showcase the pinnacle of his performance capabilities through his new songs.
