June 21 (UPI) -- Jimin of K-pop supergroup BTS revealed the track list for his upcoming second solo album, Muse, on Friday, building excitement among the group's dedicated fan base.

The album, set for release July 19, will feature seven tracks exploring the theme of love and the journey of finding inspiration, the group's agency, BigHit Music, said on social media.

The 28-year-old singer has contributed to writing lyrics and composing six of the songs, promising an intimate look into his artistic vision.

Leading the album is the hip-hop and R&B-infused title track 'Who," co-produced by a team, including BTS' longtime collaborator Pdogg, Grammy-nominated artist Jon Bellion and other top songwriters.

The third track, "Smeraldo Garden Marching Band," featuring Korean rapper Loco, will arrive as a prerelease single next Friday. Blending big band sounds with hip-hop, the upbeat number is described as delivering an energetic, marching band-inspired vibe.
