Taehyung further surprised ARMY by revealing that two of his songs (along with music videos!) would drop on August 10 and 11 respectively - and as promised, the MV of 'Love Me Again' dropped in our feeds earlier today. If Jungkook unleashed his inner lover boy with his solo digital single, 'Seven,' 'Love Me Again' features Taehyung as heartbroken lover fervently serenading his significant other and reminiscing bygone memories.
The video captures Taehyung in a never-seen-before avatar - even as he croons about a lost love in his rich, deep baritone underlaid with a smooth R&B melody, he doesn't forget to make a fashionable style statement. Taehyung appears in a red fishnet top as well as a glittering gold ensemble complete with rings and earcuffs - with his blond hair - he looks part artist and complete royalty!
"I wish you could love me again, no I don't want anybody else" - V pours his heart out into the song in a retro-style music video which perfectly captures the ellipsis and meandering between timelines that is present in the ethos of the song. The video features polaroid-esque and bokeh effects, even including a vintage television set- the haziness only making the song even more sensual and alluring. Add Taehyung's deep, soulful voice and we know we'll be listening to this song on repeat and dreaming of our own lovers as the rains come down!
Breaking away from convention, V's album promotions will showcase a distinctive approach. The official schedule outlines plans for the release of music videos not only for the title track but also for the b-side tracks—an innovation that sets a new standard in the realm of K-Pop promotions. This bold move shows V's vision to delivering an immersive artistic experience to his fans.
ARMY was barely reeling from the wild Jungkook they saw in 'Seven,' and now Tae drops this! Taehyung's previous solo singles like Winter Bear, Sweet Night and Scenery have alluded to the jazzy, R&B, soul sounds that the artist leans towards and is inspired from. His latest song 'Love Me Again,' very much hints toward not just his forthcoming album's mood, but also the musical direction he is embarking on. Here's how Twitter has erupted after the release of the song -
