So ahead of the official launch of the upcoming BTS mobile role-playing game, BTS World, BigHit has released the first track from the BTS World OST, titled "Dream Glow," which is a collaboration with Charli XCX. If this collab seems random, BTS actually met Charli XCX in 2017 while she was in Korea. They must've done the initial recordings from back then, because BTS World was actually supposed to be released that year. (Netmarble, the company that is producing BTS World, kept postponing the release of the game for unknown reasons, though most likely due to BTS' insane increase in popularity that year and thus a much busier schedule.) But I'm glad they finally released it, because it is a gem of a song. It features vocals from the 3J vocal line subunit: Jungkook, Jimin, and Jin (not to be mistaken for the 3J dance unit, which is Jungkook, Jimin, and J-Hope).
I've always been indifferent to Charli XCX, so I just went into this with an open mind, and while I do think they could've toned down on some of the vocal effects, "Dream Glow" really, truly is a bop, and it's a sound that I'd gravitate towards even if BTS wasn't involved. It's a chill-out electropop track that is catchy and easy to listen to, and 3J's smooth, angelic voices work really well to counteract Charli XCX's throatier, edgier vocals. I can't wait to see what the other tracks will sound like (upcoming subunit tracks will feature J-Hope with V, and RM with Suga!).
