Having completed their mandatory military service, K-pop megastars BTS are returning this year with new album Arirang. Today they’ve shared its tracklist and a detailed lineup of contributors, which includes some interesting names.
Kevin Parker, better known as Tame Impala, is a writer and producer on “Merry Go Round.” Rosalía collaborator and long-ago Stereogum Artist To Watch El Guincho has writing and production credits on “Hooligan.” Hip-hop super-producer Mike WiLL Made-It takes on those roles for “Aliens” and “2.0.” Diplo is all over the album as a writer and producer, including on opener “Body To Body” alongside Ryan Tedder, who also has several credits. Another one of the Diplo tracks, “FYI,” has production from Flume and writing from rap provocateur JPEGMAFIA. Will BTS be scaring the hoes this time around? Screaming about a bomb in their car?
