RIIZE presents a special instrumental track titled "Passage" from their first studio album.
The 39-second "Passage," featuring singer and music producer Yoon Sang, serves as a conduit that conveys RIIZE's deepening growth story, with orchestral music utilizing tremolo techniques infusing a sense of tension and creating a mood that feels like dreaming a short dream in which various emotions intertwine.
In particular, the tracklist of this album is intricately arranged so that the tracks preceding the sixth track, "Passage," represent outward cries for growth, while the following tracks depict narratives of inner reflection that form the foundation, guiding listeners to fully immerse themselves in RIIZE's growth story.
In this regard, RIIZE noted, "It seems that the narrative of growth in the album has become stronger because of 'Passage.' The music starts heavy and gradually brightens toward the end, depicting a moment of sudden enlightenment after feeling worry and anxiety. It feels like the breadth of our growth is expanding through this song."
Additionally, at midnight today (12th), details of the album, produced in various versions as if unfolding without the constraints of time and space, which serve as the foundation for RIIZE's activities, were also unveiled. The attention-grabbing items include a photobook, a package box, the smart album SMini, the MEGA SMini, a version of Mega MGC Coffee transformed into "mega size," a pendant knot necklace born from a collaboration with the fashion brand SUNLOVE, and a voice doll keychain utilizing the RIIZE character "WE LITTLE RIIZE."
Meanwhile, RIIZE's first studio album "ODYSSEY" will be released on May 19, and pre-orders are currently available at both online and offline music stores.
