IVE heightened the atmosphere of their comeback with a highlight medley of their 2nd full album featuring high-quality music. Their agency, STARSHIP Entertainment, released the highlight medley video of the 2nd full album 'REVIVE+' through IVE's official YouTube channel yesterday (16th). The video was first released at 8 PM on the same day via Melon Music Wave, raising fan expectations. The video includes highlights of 12 tracks, including the double title songs 'BLACKHOLE' and 'BANG BANG', as well as solo tracks from all members. The music spans various genres from intense EDM, pop, to band sounds, promising the density and scale characteristic of a full album. In particular, the title track 'BLACKHOLE' captured fans' ears instantly with its fantastical and cinematic sound, along with the lyrics 'If you wish, anything can come true.' This song is central to the album and redefines the existence of 'we', with lyricist So Ji-eum, who has built the story of IVE's narcissism since their debut single 'ELEVEN', participating. Lyricist XYXX also contributed, embedding a new story that IVE presents through 'BLACKHOLE'. Alongside this, the pre-released 'BANG BANG', with its strong energy and linear sound, forms another axis of the album, raising curiosity about the contrast and synergy created by the two songs. The following tracks also prove IVE's wide spectrum. IVE completed the album with diverse genres from 'Hush' to 'Stuck In Your Head', 'Fireworks', and 'HOT COFFEE', meeting fan expectations. Additionally, this album includes solo songs from all members, adding a special touch. Wonyoung's '8' announces a new transformation with a tense EDM track, while Gaul's 'Odd' captures listeners with its fantastical mid-low vocal. Iso is set to deliver energy and atmosphere with 'Super Icy', and Liz will showcase her bright and powerful vocals in the alternative rock track 'Unreal'. Rei features a bright melody with lyrics in three languages in 'In Your Heart', while Yujin closes the track with 'Force', which incorporates strong bass and hip-hop, showcasing each member's growth. Notably, these songs were partially revealed during the second world tour 'SHOW WHAT I AM' held in Seoul last October. Gaul, Rei, Wonyoung, Liz, and Iso also participated in writing their solo songs, increasing curiosity about the completed tracks. The 2nd full album 'REVIVE+' expands the story that has centered on 'I' to a perspective of 'we'. It conveys confidence that they can move in more directions without stopping, while expanding the narrative from 'IVE = I' to 'we'. IVE will officially make their comeback on the 23rd with the title track 'BLACKHOLE'.
