Jimin Takes Inspiration From The Beatles
The new song may give the audience familiar with the ‘60s pop phenomenon The Beatles, a sense of deja vu and nostalgia. ‘Smeraldo Garden Marching Band,’ is influenced by Beatle’s chartbuster ‘ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.’The track is an irresistible blend of hip-hop beats and lively band instrumental. The upbeat song marks the second collaboration between Jimin and the producer trio- PDogg, GHSTLOOP, and EVAN, who worked with him on his debut solo album ‘Face’.
The song’s title contains a reference to the fictional flower ‘Smeraldo’, which translates to “the truth untold.” Veteran ARMYs would connect this easily to the BTS song The Truth Untold from their 2018 album Love Yourself: Tear.
The MV evokes nostalgia and can take the audience on a trip down memory lane due to its vintage aesthetic. It also touches on the theme of unrequited love and longing. ‘Muse’, Jimin’s highly-anticipated second album will have seven songs in total – “Rebirth,” “Interlude: Showtime,” “Smeraldo Garden Marching Band” featuring Loco, “Slow Dance” featuring Sofia Carson, “Be Mine,” “Who,” and “Closer Than This,” which was released in December.
The new video showcases the idol performing on a fairytale woodland stage, bringing couples together as he dances past them. In the second verse, rapper Loco joins him, and the two conclude the video with an energetic dance amidst falling flower petals.
