BTS V's new album is almost here.
The Korean pop superstar has unveiled two tracks, alongside its music videos, to preview his forthcoming album, Layover. Leaning heavily towards a more R&B sound for both songs, 'Love Me Again' ventures into '70s soul and gospel jazz, while 'Rainy Days' has a more contemporary and modern vibe.
The music video for 'Love Me Again' was shot inside a cave in Majorca, Spain, and features V decked in sequins for a mysterious and intimate live performance piece.

Meanwhile, the visual for 'Rainy Days' showcases the mundane for V – waking up, working, having a meal, channeling his Vante side by painting with a baguette, and hanging out with his pet dog, Yeontan. The video marks Yeontan's official music video debut, who is also featured on the album's digital cover and concept photos.
For the album's overall production and creative direction, V tapped ADOR’s president and executive producer Min Hee Jin. "I wanted to focus on V’s inner self instead of his outward glamour. I had specific styles of music that I wanted to suggest to V, considering his vocal tone and style. As soon as he heard the tracklist I made for him, we instantly agreed on the direction," she shared. “‘Rainy Days’ acts as an intro for the album, and V’s serene vocals and visuals stand out.”
Layover is slated for release on 8 September 2023.
