Amaal Mallik heaps praise on BTS, says ‘they are freaking brilliant’

Amaal Mallik is the third generation of music composers in the Malik family, following the veteran Sardar Malik, his father Daboo Malik, and his uncle Anu Malik. His brother Armaan Malik is also a popular singer, and the two have collaborated on several hit songs.

In a recent interview, while promoting his latest international song with the Italian singer I Miss You Amore, Amaal heaped praise on the South Korean pop band BTS and expressed his desire to work with them. Talking to IndiaToday.in, the music composer said, “If they want to collaborate, I will surely do it. I have not heard many of their (BTS) songs, but whatever I have heard – Butter and many other recent albums – they are freaking brilliant.”

“They are so good songwriting-wise, production as well as music video-wise. So that’s the reason they are hitting the charts. Like not even the songs that come from the US or the UK are that powerful. Their fan ARMY is truly like an army on social media; it is beautiful. Obviously, I am a fan of their work and love their work. I don’t know the specific song names apart from two to three. But I would love to (collaborate)”, he concluded.

BTS is made up of Jin, Jimin, RM, Suga, V, Jungkook, and J-Hope and has millions of fans around the world, including its own fandom called ARMY, which stands for Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth. Members of the Indian ARMY have been creating fan-made videos of the septet dancing to popular Bollywood and South Indian songs. These videos frequently go viral on social media, with the beats of the songs synching with the BTS boys’ dance moves.
