BTS Song Black Swan: K Pop band blends contemporary dance & rap in the first Map of the Soul 7 single
BTS dropped Black Swan today. The new BTS song is a part of their new album Map of the Soul 7 and it breaks away from the K-Pop band's usual music video style and presents something unique.
As promised, BTS has released their first song titled Black Swan. The music video is the first official song from their album Map of the Soul 7. The music video comes days after the K-Pop band released the MotS 7 trailer titled Interlude: Shadow. The new BTS song released breaks away from the traditional music videos by the band and incorporates their "Connect BTS" concept into it. The new song features none of the BTS members. Instead, the South Korean boys have reached out to MN Dance Company to help bring their music video to life.
The video starts with dancer Martha Graham's quote, "a dancer dies twice — once when they stop dancing, and this first death is the more painful." The performer group comes together to form a swan-like shape before they unfold their mesmerising performance. The performance is set up in an abandoned plaza. The song starts with the singers urging the listeners to "Do you thing now," before the singer questions what the thing is. As the song unfolds, it is evident that the lyrics have drawn inspiration from the quote. The video builds up to the performer's struggle, his slow death before he breaks up away from the darkness and results in a beautiful performance.
