IVE raised anticipation for their comeback with the release of the highlight medley for their second full-length album 'REVIVE+.'

Starship Entertainment unveiled the preview video on February 16 via IVE's official YouTube channel, offering a glimpse of all 12 tracks, including double title tracks "BLACKHOLE" and "BANG BANG," as well as six individual solo songs.

Double Title Tracks Signal New Narrative

"BLACKHOLE" captivates with its dreamy, cinematic soundscape. Lyricist Seo Jieum, known for shaping IVE's signature narcissism-driven storyline, participated in the track, reinforcing the group's established narrative identity.

Alongside "BANG BANG," the song forms the core axis of the album. While IVE's previous works centered on the perspective of "I," 'REVIVE+' expands the storyline to redefine "us," signaling a thematic evolution.

Pre-released track "BANG BANG" stands out with its explosive energy and direct sonic structure. The contrast and synergy between "BLACKHOLE" and "BANG BANG" heighten curiosity about the full project.

Six Members, Six Colors

The album further showcases IVE's expanded musical spectrum through diverse tracks such as "Hide and Seek," "Malware," "Firework," and "Hot Coffee," spanning multiple genres.

Each member's solo track adds individuality to the record. Jang Wonyoung presents a fresh transformation with "8," while Gaeul delivers a dreamy vocal tone in "Odd." Leeseo energizes listeners with "Super Icy," and Liz explores alternative rock textures in "Unreal."

Rey performs trilingual lyrics in "In Your Heart," and An Yujin closes the album with "Force," highlighting her confident charisma.

'REVIVE+' represents IVE's shift from a self-focused narrative to a broader collective perspective, expressing their confidence in moving forward together.

IVE are set to officially return on February 23.
