Jimin, the beloved countertenor and dancer, is known the world over for his work in K-pop’s greatest boy-band success story, BTS. On his solo debut, the perfectionist steps out on his own with a collection of six new tracks, leading with the triumphant single “Set Me Free, Pt. 2” and its reverberating choral cheers, resounding brass sounds, and hyperpop vocal effects. (It’s a far cry from, say, the ghostly harmonies, spring-y production, and gorgeous vocal runs of his 2016 solo track “Lie.”) There are no official collaborations on *FACE*, but there are innovative producers (Pdogg, GHSTLOOP, EVAN, Supreme Boi, BLVSH, Chris James) and one extremely familiar name credited: RM, BTS’s leader, wrote on the opening track “Face-off” and the dreamy, soft synth track “Like Crazy,” which appears on the release twice, closing *FACE* out with an English-language version.

Review: Jimin's 'Face'

On his official debut effort, Jimin takes a wide step away from his usual role as the sensitive, angel-voiced member of BTS, delivering a surprisingly defiant and bold set of songs, Face.
