Jimin Face

Jimin, vocalist and BTS member, embraces freedom and autonomy through his new solo project, FACE. Read our review and analysis.

This release is one that required a certain amount of bravery; perhaps in sharing this collection with the world, Jimin himself will feel just a bit more more understood, too. “Did I come too far to find the me that I used to know?” he asks on “Like Crazy.” “I’m feelin’ so alive.” When BTS announced Its six tracks wrap all too quickly, and while it was specified that Jimin doesn’t consider this a full-length project, it does leave the listener craving more music in this vein somewhere down the road — it’s worth repeating that the energy of “Face-off” is one that he should consider chasing most of all. (The last song on the project is an English version of “Like Crazy,” and a fair world would see it finding a happy home on radio.) The synth-laden track is a nod to the 2011 film of the same name, one of Jimin’s favorites, and he samples whispers from fraught lovers throughout. This is followed by “Set Me Free Pt.2,” the audacious pre-release single that signaled to listeners just how bold and dramatic this era could be. In the notes that accompanied the stream of the album, though, Jimin specifies that this opening track is about finding resilience after feelings of doubt and disappointment.

The multi-talented star and BTS member talks about his solo debut album Face — and shares how much his bandmates supported his creative process.

There’s something I always say to the producers I work with: “Practice is the answer.” If I have some time after I finish work in the evenings, I practice singing with the producers. I contacted him a lot during the entire process of recording and practicing “Vibe.” I actually took a lot of time recording my parts on my own, since it’s not a very easy song. Before, I thought that I was the only one who was feeling and acting weird, and that all my members were still working really hard and still looked really cool, that they were shining on their own. So I [lived] not really knowing what I was doing, or why I was working so hard up to that point and for what. I tried to express the feelings of that movie… Honestly, when I started to learn choreography, I thought my background in modern dance and different kinds of movement would be a hindrance to me. There are some interesting excerpts of dialogue at the beginning and at the end [of the track] that express exactly what I wanted to say. So I thought it would make sense for my song to become the “part two” to that song. I wanted to give this feeling that I was lost and wandering. But when I worked on this song, the producers and I started fooling around with different pianos and instruments. When I listened to that song, I realized it’s also a song about the struggles of becoming more mature, becoming a grown-up. But when I was working on this song, I just thought that the phrase “set me free” would be the perfect title for it.

Jimin's debut album is officially out! The 27-year-old BTS member has dropped a six-song record, with tracks titled "Face-off", "Like Crazy" and more.

“I worked on this album for the past two years during the pandemic so I tried to instill the feelings of emptiness and loneliness into the songs. It was hard to bring back such old memories to concentrate on feelings of fear and worry when recording,” said Jimin. I think it will be an interesting and fun point for you to check out.” “The track ‘Set Me Free Pt.2’ is my favorite song in this album. I put a lot of effort into delivering that sadness of the lyrics with my voice when recording,” explained Jimin. “Because this is my first-ever solo album, I am really nervous.

BTS' Jimin captures the turbulence of modern life in his shadowy debut solo album 'FACE' – read the NME review.

‘Alone’ is a triumph, its melancholy, murky guitar lines and Jimin’s quietened vocals taking you into the heart of the loneliness the song portrays, whether you understand his words or not. ‘Face-off’ and ‘Alone’ – the two highlights of ‘FACE’ – tumble into the shade, but both take different approaches. “I’d rather be / Lost in the lights / Lost in the lights,” he cries. “Trying to take the pressure off / Been reaching for the stars / Tell me will I find myself again / When I go too far?” The track might be billed as only an interlude, but it’s indicative of the push and pull between light and dark that takes place on ‘FACE’. As if answering that, a sparkling instrumental drifts over ‘Interlude: Dive’, interlaced with recordings of the singer’s opening comments from [BTS](https://www.nme.com/artists/bts)’ [Busan 2022 concert](https://www.nme.com/reviews/live/bts-live-busan-review-yet-to-come-3329310) and the sounds of the minutiae of everyday life – a glass filling with liquid that’s glugged back seconds later; the distant ripple of chatter.

In addition to the pre-release track “ [Set Me Free Pt.2,](http://www.vulture.com/2023/03/jimin-bts-set-me-free-pt-2-music-video.html)” other songs on the album include “Interlude : Dive,” “Alone,” and an English version of “Like Crazy.” Jimin and fellow BTS member RM are also credited as co-writers on the opening track, “Face-off.” The album drop was paired with a visit to Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show, where Jimin joked that his favorite [nickname](https://twitter.com/FallonTonight/status/1639119731427880961) is Jimin Fallon and [explained](https://twitter.com/FallonTonight/status/1639120294433390592) that his latest musical project “looks back on the emotions I felt chronologically throughout the pandemic.” Now, the ARMY just has to wait for The Tonight Show’s YouTube channel to set Jimin’s [performance](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXevNfUAtIs) free.

In the music video, Jimin uses crowded space to depict the loneliness he embraces as a trapped soul. Jimin had previously revealed that Like Crazy was inspired by one of his favorite movies. BTS Jimin is back with the music video of his track Like Crazy from the artist's highly anticipated solo album Face.

The singer's debut album, 'Face,' is the first time he's getting vulnerable, and even nihilistic, about his angst.

On it, he overcomes his internal battles and feels confident in newly-found freedom as he repeats lyrics like “Set me free” and “Finally free.” He also tells the critics to get lost while he enjoys this “prime time” revelation, saying, “F*ck all the opps” and “Look at me now/ I won't stop, even if they mock me/ Going insane to stay sane/ Raise your hands for the past me.” Listeners now meet Jimin as he stands in unfamiliar territory, one that exhibits his desire to evolve beyond the BTS title, at the cusp of something even greater to come. Despite the gloom and chaos, Face is ultimately a project of resilience and triumph. One thing Jimin includes on Face that makes it feel like an immersive dive into his psyche is audio snippets of events and pieces of media that have importance to him. Those thoughts continue on “Alone,” a softer and slower ballad that reveals Jimin’s fear of falling behind during the pandemic. Jimin opens the music video of “Like Crazy” with a gaze that looks more lost than ever.

BTS star Jimin just released his much-awaited album Face. While the title track is everything ARMY hoped it would be, a certain sad song from the album has ...
