Power in the diversity of styles and genres
Aman Vakharia, 22, student

The album is a nostalgic drive to some of the band’s most iconic songs and a holistic encounter with their versatility and strengths as individual artistes. Vakharia rightly notes that the album is a great way to introduce new or potential fans to the musicality since their style and genres are so diverse. Speaking about the first track, Born singer, he expresses that the album starts off strong as this track demonstrates their forte, with soulful and old-school beats. “It’s what made me fall in love with them,” Vakharia says. It also traces their journey as artistes and collaborators; their songs with Boy in Luv, and Nicki Minaj, too, are featured. “If you want to understand their music, beats, artistry, RM’s self-analysis, how emotional Jimin is, and the effortless way in which Jungkook sings, this album is a great introduction,” he says.

An anthology, the right way

Nia Carnelio continues from where Vakharia left off, saying, “You can literally see them grow into their music and style in their title tracks over the years.” She shares her thoughts on each CD, starting with Yet to Come, noting, “I’m inclined towards upbeat songs but the first CD manages to capture the softness of songs like Life goes on and the upbeat vibe of Permission to dance. It’s a true fusion of styles.” The second CD, Run BTS, she says, captures the essence of their first few years, before people finally acknowledged their music and hard work. “It’s also a mark of their never-say-die attitude,” she adds. Speaking about For Youth, the third CD, Carnelio tells us that fans are emotionally attached to the track by the same name. Overall, it’s a great anthology album for a band with an army of supporters.
