V of BTS: Tiny Desk Korea

Layover is designed to listen to top to bottom and I do it regularly. Other songs by him that I love are Fri(END)s, Sweet Night & wherever u r (with UMI).

Thank you Tim!! I knew you would love this performance so thank you for reacting to this longer video. V is what we call an old soul. He loves the classic movies, music, jazz. He actually learned to play the saxophone when he was young and fell in love with these music genres. So when Layover came out, it was so different from the hype BTS songs but also so V. I agree RM’s voice sounds lower in the group but V is the only baritone in the vocal line so now going forward it will be easy to spot his lines in their songs. Although in the new album V really pushed out of his comfort zone to hit some high notes.

I would agree with you that RM has the deepest voice of the group. As far as I know: he and Suga are baritones (though Suga tends to prefer a tenor range in a lot of his singing I think or at least is more nasal in tone than RM) while j-hope is a tenor. V is the only baritone in the vocal line. That depth in his tone is really beautiful in this EP. (if other ARMY have better knowledge of where their voices sit let me know I’m working on only a few years of high school choir)

Ahh thanks for pushing this forward Ashley! Love love this tiny desk. I’m glad you got to react to it Tim. Layover is one of my favourite rainy day EPs. The mood you picked up on continues throughout and it’s just a very cozy listen on the record. V and other members have shared Bon Iver songs on their social media quite a few times so I’m not surprised you hear those influences haha.

Loved this video! Could you react to Bryce Pinkham's performance as the Arbiter? He was incredible! The full professional recording of his performance is on YouTube, I'd love to hear your take on it! I thought he was incredible!
