RIIZE's New Single 'Fame' Promises Emotional Pop and Dazzling Performances!
K-Pop sensation RIIZE is set to drop their new single 'Fame' just three days from now, marking their first release in six months since their debut full album 'ODYSSEY' in May. The global fanbase is buzzing with anticipation for this new track, and we're here to explore what makes 'Fame' so special.
RIIZE, known for their journey of 'growth and realization,' takes a slight detour from their overarching narrative in 'Fame' to delve into the hidden emotions and passions that arise during their intense growth process. This is their unique 'Emotional Pop' genre, offering a glimpse into the members' inner world.
Unlike their previous hits like 'Get A Guitar,' 'Love 119,' 'Impossible,' 'Boom Boom Bass,' and 'Fly Up,' which often carried bright and challenging messages, 'Fame' promises a different RIIZE. The title track itself is a bold foray into 'Rage' style hip-hop, characterized by a powerful rhythm and the gritty texture of an electric guitar, exuding dynamic energy. The lyrics express RIIZE's aspirations as artists, conveying that true desire lies in sharing emotions and love rather than just fame.
The single features three tracks: it opens with 'Something's in the Water,' which embraces the acceptance of one's own anxieties, moves to the title track 'Fame,' and concludes with 'Sticky Like,' a pure love story about dedicating everything to a loved one. This tracklist is designed to fully immerse listeners in the emotional depth of RIIZE.
The performance for 'Fame' is rooted in hip-hop, reflecting the song's mood. It blends fluid, relaxed movements with explosive power, showcasing intricate rhythm interpretation. A particularly captivating moment is expected in the outro, with a rapid-fire dance break that unleashes pent-up emotions.
RIIZE will unveil 'Fame' for the first time at their showcase on November 24th at 5 PM KST, held at Yes24 Live Hall and streamed online. Following this, at 6 PM, the full digital release and the music video for 'Fame' will be unveiled, anticipated to garner a massive response with its new concept and stunning visuals.
Beyond music, RIIZE is expanding their artistic reach with the 'Fame' concept. Teaser images and trailers visualizing inner emotions have been released, featuring RIIZE against the backdrop of a grand British manor, creating a beautiful, paradoxical tension within a serene setting. This artistic exploration extends to an exhibition, offering an immersive viewing experience.
The pinnacle of this visual exploration is the exhibition 'Silence: Inside the Fame' at the Ilmin Museum of Art, running until November 30th. This collaboration marks the first time the Ilmin Museum has partnered with a K-Pop artist for a large-scale exhibition, drawing significant attention. The album packaging also offers diverse ways to enjoy the concept, including a photobook version, a catalog version resembling an exhibition booklet, a 'chamber' version like a small gift box, and an SMini version featuring visuals from the 'Fame' music video.
Korean netizens are expressing great excitement for RIIZE's comeback, with many commenting, 'I can't wait to hear the new songs!' and 'The emotional pop concept is perfect for RIIZE!' There's also a lot of praise for their artistic expansion, with fans saying, 'The exhibition concept is so unique and beautiful!'
