J-Hope's first full solo album shows that he’s got a lot more to him than meets the eye. Read our review of the BTS star's 'Jack in the Box'
is full of indications that the 28-year-old is hardly done. “MORE,” the album’s first single, is darkly hued rap-rock with lyrics outlining how J-Hope’s aspirations are even bigger than the ones he’s realized with BTS. “I crash and fall to make my art/Still make it move from where I stand,” he growls in Korean over an insistent boom-bap beat and fuzzed-out bass.
The album is held together by this tension, and by J-Hope’s clear admiration for the R&B and hip-hop that ruled American radio in the Nineties and 2000s. The pensive “What if…” spins out from the piano stabs that serve as the backbone of Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s “Shimmy Shimmy Ya,” while “STOP” has a serpentine robo-funk bassline and a feeling of dread that’s enhanced by J-Hope repeating the monosyllabic title on its chorus.
