BTS’ V to release his first solo album Layover on September 8, 2023; tracklist unveiled

Pop titans BTS' V (Kim Taehyung) will release his first solo album Layover on September 8. The album comprises a total of six tracks: “Rainy Days,” “Blue,” “Love Me Again,” “Slow Dancing,” “For Us” and a bonus track. BIGHIT MUSIC recommended fans listen to the album in order from tracks 1 through 5.

“Slow Dancing” is the focus track of the album. The 1970s romantic soul-style track exudes a laid-back and free-spirited feeling. “Rainy Days” captures V’s voice beautifully melding with the sound of rain and everyday white noises. “Blue” is an homage to old-school R&B with a modern twist in sound.

The bonus track that closes the album is the piano version of the focus track “Slow Dancing.” The five tracks, with the exception of the bonus track, will each have an official music video.
