More about Jimin's Smeraldo Garden Marching Band (feat. LOCO)
On June 28, around 1 p.m. KST (9:30 a.m. IST), Jimin dropped Smeraldo Garden Marching Band, along with a distinctively-molded music video. The track serves as a pre-release for his second solo album MUSE, which was unveiled on July 19.
Through the immaculately penned lyrics, the singer expressed the ‘untold truth’, giving a shoutout to BTS’ LOVE YOURSELF: TEAR track The Truth Untold. The name of the song heavily relies on the word Smeraldo, which is the name of the fictional flower, coined by BTS.
At the same time, the song’s title was conceptualized from iconic rock band The Beatles’ 1967 album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. It was later revealed that while planning his album MUSE with producers Pdogg, EVAN, and GHSTLOOP, with whom Jimin previously collaborated on FACE, the four of them started addressing themselves as a cohesive group. What first emerged as a playful name, soon became the pre-release track’s title for Jimin’s MUSE.
Apart from this song, this album also features the title track Who, Rebirth (Intro), Interlude: Showtime, Slow Dance (feat. Sofia Carson), Be Mine, and Closer Than This, which were all dropped along with the album on July 19.
