NME released their list of the 50 best albums of 2022 and j-hope’s Jack In The Box was included on this year’s list! It was ranked at No. 42. See what NME had to say about Jack In The Box below:
In a nutshell: BTS rapper steps away from his sunny persona and dives into the darkness
The first BTS member to have an official solo release following the group’s decision to focus more on individual projects, J-hope wasted no time in breaking out of the box his artistry had previously been confined in. Instead of bright and breezy tunes, he turned to shadowy introspection – questioning his identity, values and the world at large – with undeniably brilliant and addictive results. RD
NME said: “‘Jack In The Box’ takes the J-Hope the world has come to know and love over the last nine years and sets that figure alight. From the ashes, though, comes a star more thrilling and formidable than ever.”
