Watch RM perform ‘Indigo’ songs live for the first time

“Welcome to live in Seoul, Rolling Hall,” he added midway through the track. “Shout out to all the still lives out there.”

Although not all of the collaborators featured on ‘Indigo’ could join RM at the special concert, a handful of guests did join the rapper on stage. Kim Sawol appeared for the folk song ‘Forg_tful’, while Paul Cobain came out for his verse on ‘Closer’ and Colde performed his part in ‘Hectic’. ‘Wild Flower’, the album’s lead single, was bolstered by the appearance of Cherry Filter singer youjeen.

After performing tracks from the album, RM also treated the audience to some of his solo tracks – ‘Persona’ from BTS’ ‘Map Of The Soul: Persona’ and his Balming Tiger collaboration ‘Sexy Nukim’. Watch the performance in full above.

‘Yun’
‘Still Life’

‘Closer (with Paul Blanco)’
‘Lonely’
‘Forg_tful (with Kim Sawol)’
‘Hectic (with Colde)’

In a five-star review of ‘Indigo’ : “[This] is an album that feels unperturbed by current trends and sounds most likely to score a hit, instead focusing on building its own inimitable world. It’s too early to tell if the record will help the BTS leader achieve his goal of creating something truly timeless but, in this moment, ‘Indigo’ feels like a masterpiece with the potential to be remembered as a classic.”

RM reflected on why he wanted Erykah Badu to feature on its opening track, ‘Yun’. “Her voice is really magical and has its own power – it’s like a spell,” he began, saying he had decided to approach her after hearing her on Robert Glasper’s ‘Afro Blue’. “It really changes me and moves me somewhere.”

Earlier this week (December 12), another video performance of four songs from ‘Indigo’ was released, which found RM performing them in different spaces across the New York gallery Dia Beacon.
