As mentioned, BigHit will be releasing three tracks from the BTS World OST ahead of the official launch of the upcoming BTS mobile role-playing game, BTS World. The first track, "Dream Glow," a collaboration between the Jungkook, Jimin, and Jin subunit and Charli XCX, came out last week. This week, we have "A Brand New Day," a collaboration between the V and J-Hope subunit and Swedish singer-songwriter, Zara Larsson. I've known her since I heard her song "Uncover" play at work several years ago, but haven't really listened to much else from her. I've listened to "A Brand New Day" about a dozen times already and I pick up something new every time. While I do think "Dream Glow" is innately catchier, I do find the sound and production of "A Brand New Day" to be far more unique. I've never heard this combination of beats and instrumentals together before — kind of a traditional Asian meets tropical vibe? — and it makes for a very fresh, upbeat song. Zara Larsson's vocals are gorgeous, smooth, and full-bodied, and she sounds beautiful along V's airier vocals and J-Hope's rhythmic melodic rapping.
RM and Suga's track will be released next week, and while they are both rappers, I actually think this is one of the more rare subunits in BTS. I wonder if they're going to have a featuring artist as well?
