I don't know where to start, but the hate campaign that Taehyung has experienced this whole year is beyond bounds and disturbing. Sadly, many people do not see this through a broad view and consider all of this just an ordinary-regular hate opinion that isn't systemic.
Taehyung truly aged more beautiful inside and outside. Not only is his face becoming more handsome and has strong features, but also his attitude more wiser and his mindset became more mature. After experiencing a lot of things, his mentality is also more healthy and stable -
LOVE ME AGAIN by V (9/10)
It's Honest review from me, the refrain part is definitely a hook and the addictive part of the song. The song is pure full RNB vibes with the strong strings and beat, also I love how they use taehyung voice as a dominant instrument.
For Us, Blue, and Love Me Again sounds very R&B with a soul touch, even at some chord progression have a Traditional R&B element. Rainy Days is R&B with pop-indie sounds, and Slow Dancing is R&B with a Jazzy-Soul element (not Jazz! Be careful). Overall, Layover is R&B Album.
In my opinion, Taehyung's version of "drunken truth" is one of the best cover songs I've ever seen on YouTube. Because, in here he can showcasing his extraordinary deep-honey vocal character.
Now, We Have:
1. Slow Dancing (Guitar Live Version - IU Palette)
2. Slow Dancing (Saxophone Live Version - Tiny Desk Korea)
3. Slow Dancing (Piano Live Version - The first Take)
4. Slow Dancing (Flute Live Version - Band Session)
And all is live, especiallly 1-2-4 with a band.
Kim Taehyung's first project in Paris was a huge huge success! what happened after that is just the spice of his skyrocketing popularity (and we can't avoid the hatred of these jealous people) so it's time to move on!
Every time Taehyung performs his songs live, we always get a new version of the songs. He not only changed his appearance to make his performance different, but he also changed the song's arrangement. Everything sounds different in a very good way, it fits every occasion.
You know what ? It Isn't because of the genre. It is because of the exposure and willingness to support and spread from the inside of fandom. Because, I am just sharing LMA and RD to my homies and my colleague. Almost all of them LOVE IT. -
The thing that made me happiest from the Layover era is the live performance especially with live instruments and the band. This is valid proof that THE KIM TAEHYUNG is one of the best singers out there and also a great musician who can appreciate music in the natural form.
I'm not surprise if someday he will becoming a creative director for ads company, idol company, or even for movie. His creativity is beyond the roof, he perfectly picking the concept and reference into the different direction.

who loved it 💛
Indigo and Layover are my favorite solo releases so far. They are different but somehow connect with each other really well. If u didn't realize, Indigo and Layover also breathe in the same parental genre which is more Soul and RNB (Even though they have a different direction --
Taehyung always found his people in every industry he stepped in.
- In the music category with Hyoshin, Peak boy, Eana
- In the cinema category with Hyungsik, Bogum, Seojoon, Wooshik, Yumi, Seojin
- In the dance category with Bada and Gof
Our social butterfly 🔥
I just wanna say, The acting project, The OST project, a Bunch of variety shows, Multiple BA, Magazine covers, Radio gigs, Cameo MV, and YouTube show appearances are something that he got from the OUTSIDE of his company. He got it because of his demand. NOT GIVEN BY COMPANY.
All of Taehyung's achievements feel very special, he did great by himself. We are all doing great despite the bad circumstances around this debut. Very proud of him 🔥
It's funny because Taehyung is always seen as an "example of what an ideal K-pop idol looks like" from the outside of fandom, but once you are into him, you will realize his song and his music taste are not like the K-pop stereotypical song that people thought of.
I'm so proud of our "Sub-Vocalist" 😂. Also, did you realize? Most promotional content from our fave really shows how he is a very talented and capable vocalist who can sing live with a live band or in very raw form.
The First Take is a Japanese YouTube channel that invites singers to perform a song recorded in just one take.
According to creative director Keisuke Shimizu, singers are asked to treat the filming as a live performance.

I recognized you because of your music, then started to appreciate and idolize you after knowing we sharing the same taste in music and also the same movies. Now, I see you as my dear big brother. I wish good things and happiness always be with you.
WE LOVE YOU KIM TAEHYUNG
My gf mad at me when I saved ana de armas picture, but she was okay when I saved taehyung's and now she staring at him intensely. It's understandable actually with his perfect look and personality but please don't steal my gf bro...
I have faith that music critics and judges will choose Layover as their favorite album because of its high-quality music. Let's see, especially for the award that implied only based on critics like KMA, he prolly will get RNB/Soul category as well.
Taehyung is the definition of love, you hate him and then he comes back to still giving another love to the world that somehow will hurt the haters even more. You can't resist his natural inner beauty and loving attitude.
For all armies in the world, can you follow at least one taehyung fanbase? Because it's funny to me that a lot of you didn't even know taehyung has a fan meeting for Siminvest eventho its announced months ago. You will never know this kind of information if you only rely on an -
I know some people hate it, but tbh I LOVE THIS KIND OF APPROACH OF HIS ALBUM. We have 5 chances to improve our stream on MV. We have 2 surprise b-side track releases so we can measure our power and make an evaluation for that (also, we know Taehyung love element of surprise!) -
I know, some people don't like to put him in the box of a certain genre. But, based on all taehyung snippet and release, One thing about taehyung music preference and songwriting styles is about how he portraying story in music and how JAZZ influences him in every musical aspect.
For KTH1 preparations and promotions, I think we should understand that for now, Taehyung's main strength is the general public's interest, especially on the Instagram platform rather than fandom support. So we have to maximize his strength for future promotions.
I don't know why, but it feels like everything that universe did to taehyung these day is just start point to leading him into something greater in the future.
I'm curious how good KTH1's MV will be. He crosses around the world to film it and obviously isn't the generic studio production/CGI kind of movie. I'm still manifesting he has at least 3 MV with interconnecting storylines. So we not only get MV but we also get actor taehyung.
As a fan of non-mainstream and highly segmented music genres. I feel very grateful for the presence of kim taehyung as a pop star who chooses genres such as Jazz, Blues, Soul and RNB as his identity and favorite music. I hope that the impact he brings can at least -
I have to say this, Taehyung's vocal skill has improved the most since the solo era began. He sings with a lot of improvisation and also does harmonization beautifully when lives.
RAINY DAYS by V (10/10)
It's more Pop-RNB with a lot of Jazz influence as well. I love this song can give you comfort feeling and the MV really helps you portraying that. HIS VOICE IS PERFECT! and this song is like a novel with him being a perfect storyteller.
Guysss, i just collect all taehyung unreleased song that he shared by him self over a years and i made it look like an actual album. I'm not sharing leaked songs from his next solo album 😭
I know, I stan a lot of indie artists and I used to see all this stuff. But never imagine Tae doing self-promotion this hard like another indie artist 😭
As a tae stan, I'm very grateful for this year. We got the OST late last year, we saw the exposure and extraordinary performance during the Grammy appearance with fantastic acting performances, we got the reality show project for in the soop,
Taehyung cover reaction suddenly popped on my youtube timeline and I've seen a lot of youtubers surprised about this kind of taehyung low tone. I already know he improved a lot here but I also realized, his real voice character
Lets be honest, for the first time VxVogue news come out i'm not too interested with this kind of project because isn't relate with music work. But now i realize, this is very smart strategy to starting his new era as individual artist. He Make a Statement to begin his solo act.
IMO, RUN BTS EP 153 is changing the perspective of fans about taehyung's vocal ability. In that episode, We can clearly hear his raw vocal and tone when he sings "coward" and "Drunken Confession" with the most beautiful, soulful, and heartwarming voice that people barely hear-
Just fuck off and admit that one of the member got a huge playlisting and promotion. Stop hiding behind "because the GP loves it!" like i will not deny that GP consumes that but it's also because of the exposure the songs get.
Tae said, he didn't like business approaching especially to something that he worked on. He does everything because he likes it and puts an effort on it. So, if someday he chooses celi*ne as their BA, because he likes that brand. What are u gonna do? U will cancel him?
I was very surprised, Kim Taehyung's driving v-log had such a great impact! The playlists that he plays while driving can help some indie-musicians gain a great exposure and also this playlist become a good-relation tool for well-known musicians to support each others.
after seeing him on national television and how he responded very well, I'm pretty sure that old Taehyung will be a TV personality with his own variety show/ talk show. At that time, he probably already had some big movies/dramas as an actor and also had many solo albums.
Being Taehyung is hard tbh 😭, because he was always dragged in every side because he was labeled with "maknae privilege" but if you see objectively, Layover treated exactly the same as other hyung line albums.
Qrt rep nya bikin ketawa😭 makanya yg di up jgn maknae terus, sekali-kali up soal hyungline. Selama ini gak pada nyadar kah ini fandom berat nya cm ke maknae aja? angka stream turun langsung koar² ngadain re-cb dll, giliran hyungline keluar dari chart peduli aja engga😭
We can do better, YES. But, I'm wanna thanks to everyone who supports Taehyung songs whatever your label is. I'm so proud of Taehyung and Us. Let's do better tomorrow! Also, I kinda tearing up finally seeing him in top 10 :)
Antis starts barking, but it isn't triggering me at all haha. I'm proud of the quality, musicality, and talent that he served in the Layover album. Nothing really matters.
