Hints from V’s record label, Big Hit, suggest that “Layover” will be centered around an R&B sound. It is intertwined with pop elements, signatures of V, and BTS’s musical style.
The creative direction of “Layover” was guided by Hee Jin Min, CEO of ADOR, a subsidiary of K-pop powerhouse Hybe. Min’s involvement spanned various aspects of the project, from music production to choreography and design. Also ensuring the singer’s holistic and impactful solo debut.
V’s solo journey follows fellow BTS members who have embarked on their ventures. Suga and Jimin achieved remarkable success on the Billboard 200 chart in 2023, and J-Hope and RM secured significant chart triumphs in 2022 with their solo albums. Jung Kook recently topped the Hot 100 chart with his debut solo single, “Seven.”
Before “Layover,” V showcased his unique musical identity through solo projects. His track “Christmas Tree” notably made him one of the first BTS members to reach the Hot 100 chart. It peaked at No. 79 during the festive season 2021.
As fans eagerly anticipated the release of “Layover,” V’s solo career promises to add a vibrant dimension to the accomplishments of BTS’s talented members.
