‘MZ wannabe icon’ IVE has revealed the essence of its “expanded narcissism” through the highlight medley of its second full-length album.
Starship Entertainment released the highlight medley video for IVE’s second full-length album “REVIVE+” through its official YouTube channel and Melon Music Wave on Feb. 16.
The video presents highlights from all 12 tracks, centering on the double title track “BLACKHOLE” and the pre-release track “BANG BANG,” while also featuring solo tracks from every member, demonstrating the density expected of a full-length album. The main title track “BLACKHOLE” delivers a dreamy and cinematic sound, while “BANG BANG” balances the album with its intense and direct energy, enhancing the listening experience.
Most notably, the inclusion of solo songs from all members adds a distinctive dimension. Jang Wonyoung’s “8,” Gaeul’s “Odd,” Leeseo’s “Super Icy,” Liz’s “Unreal,” Rei’s “In Your Heart,” and An Yujin’s “Force” showcase six distinct musical identities, highlighting each member’s artistic growth.
This composition intuitively signals the message IVE aims to convey through the album. The structure, in which individual solo tracks come together to form one cohesive project, underscores the core narrative of “REVIVE+.” It marks a shift from the group’s previously “I”-centered narcissistic perspective toward an expanded collective viewpoint rooted in “We.”
Meanwhile, IVE’s second full-length album “REVIVE+” will be officially released on various online music platforms at 6 p.m. on Feb. 23.
