Sia and Troye Sivan make an appearance on BTS' Map of the Soul: 7

Estimated:  reading

While already a pop mainstay in the K-pop industry, BTS was thrust into wider consciousness after winning 'Best Social Artist' at the American Music Awards 2017. The group has since blazed a path in the international community with their collaboration with several international artists—such as Steve AokiHalsey, and Nicki Minaj—in the past few years. Now, they have joined forces with enigmatic singer-songwriter Sia and phenom Troye Sivan on their upcoming album, Map of the Soul: 7

Just yesterday (16/02), BigHit Entertainment announced the full tracklist, following which Troye Sivan announced his involvement in one of the tracks, 'Louder Than Bombs', which he helped co-write. 

With his vibrant and sensual soundscape, Sivan's craft possesses artistry unrivalled by many of his peers, and his frank articulation of his identity and experiences have firmly placed him at the forefront of queer pop's vanguard. In past interviews, BTS member Jimin has also repeatedly expressed his hopes of working together with the Australian singer. 

BTS has also collaborated with Sia on 'ON', the track fronting their new album. Known for her distinctly transcendental voice, Sia's career has seen a number of hits, such as 'Titanium', 'Chandelier', and 'Cheap Thrills', all of which peaked in the top ten on the Billboard Charts
