IVE Teases 'REVIVE+' With "BLACKHOLE," Expanding From 'Me' to 'We'
by. ymchoi

IVE is heating up their comeback momentum.

IVE will release their second full-length album REVIVE+ on February 23 at 6 PM KST across major streaming platforms. The group will begin official promotions with the title track "BLACKHOLE."

With this album, IVE signals a deeper narrative shift. Having previously centered their storytelling on the perspective of "I," the group now expands that lens to "we." REVIVE+ reframes identity beyond individual confidence, delivering a message of solidarity and collective empowerment.

"BLACKHOLE" sits at the core of that storyline. The track redefines the meaning of "us," presenting a self-driven call to move forward together rather than alone.

A New Era of 'Banger' Energy

On February 18, IVE unveiled concept photos under the theme "Bangers," amplifying anticipation. The keyword "banger" refers to a highly addictive, high-energy track — a fitting descriptor for the album's sonic direction.

An Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo each showcased distinct styling and dynamic poses, visually embodying the album's intense energy and individuality.

12 Tracks, 6 Solo Colors

REVIVE+ features a total of 12 tracks, spanning diverse genres including "Hide and Seek," "Malware," "Firework," and "Hot Coffee," signaling IVE's continued musical evolution.

The album also includes six solo songs, highlighting each member's distinct identity.

Jang Wonyoung delivers a captivating performance in "Eight."

Gaeul's "Odd" emphasizes her dreamy vocal tone.

Leeseo radiates vibrant energy in "Super Icy."

Liz showcases alternative rock textures in "Unreal."

Rei sings trilingual lyrics in "In Your Heart."

An Yujin exudes bold confidence through "Force."

Earlier this month, IVE pre-released "BANG BANG," which quickly gained traction for its powerful, addictive beat and dominated top spots on major Korean music charts.

With REVIVE+, IVE appears ready to pull listeners in — just like a black hole.
