BTS's Jungkook has unveiled a sneak peek into some tracks from his first solo album.
On October 31st, Jungkook released a video titled "GOLDEN PREVIEW", allowing fans to preview highlights of all tracks from his solo album "GOLDEN."
The video, starting with Jungkook walking into an empty warehouse, captivates viewers with just his presence as the background music plays the first track '3D (feat. Jack Harlow)'. Following that, the song 'Closer to You' layers smooth vocals over a deep synthesizer and bass.
After the global hit song of this summer, 'Seven (feat. Latto)', a portion of the title track 'Standing Next to You' was revealed. This track modernly reinterprets the old school sound of the disco funk genre. In the video, Jungkook casually moves to the rhythm, enhancing the anticipation for his performance around a standing microphone.
'Yes or No', co-written by Ed Sheeran, stands out with Sheeran's signature catchy melody and guitar performance, conveying overwhelming emotions by asking the loved one, "Do you feel the same as I do?" The sixth track, 'Please Don't Change (feat. DJ Snake)', is an electronic dance pop song where spacious synths harmonize with Jungkook's vocals, elevating the song's mood.
'Hate You' is a pop ballad portraying deep emotions solely with a lo-fi textured piano play and Jungkook's voice. The video enhances the dense emotions of the song with floating snowflakes. In 'Somebody', a somber bass and poignant melody blend against a neon-sign backdrop.
'Too Sad to Dance' is an acoustic pop track with guitar and keyboard, where Jungkook expresses melancholic emotions with a serene voice. The last preview, 'Shot Glass of Tears', deeply resonates as Jungkook walks towards a space marked 'GOLDEN' accompanied by fluttering paper confetti.
Meanwhile, Jungkook's debut solo album 'GOLDEN' will be released simultaneously worldwide at 1 PM on November 3rd. Inspired by the 'golden moments' of solo artist Jungkook, this album will include the solo single 'Seven' Explicit Ver. and Clean Ver., and '3D', with a total of 11 tracks.
