Group RIIZE will make a comeback today(the 19th)with their first full-length album ‘ODYSSEY’.

This album is an album that firmly defines RISE’s identity, and consists of a total of 10 tracks containing RISE’s unique genre of ‘emotional pop’, and is scheduled to be released on various music sites at 6 PM on May 19th.

At the same time, the track-by-track videos that were first revealed at the ‘ODYSSEY’ premiere and became a hot topic have also been opened, and the title song ‘Fly Up’ music video, which features a well-made ‘youth musical’ -like performance, is expected to attract attention as it can be viewed sequentially on the SMTOWN YouTube channel, and the videos for the other tracks can be viewed sequentially on the YouTube RISE channel.

The title song ‘Fly Up’ is a dance song reminiscent of the 1950s Rock and Roll style, with an energetic rhythm and a large-scale choir in harmony.The lyrics describe the members using music and dance as a medium to get closer to people in the wider world and enjoy themselves together without prejudice or boundaries.

The lyrics of this album fully reflect the emotions felt by the members, starting with the first track “Odyssey” which tells the mindset of facing the start of a new chapter, followed by the hip-hop song “Bag Bad Back” which lets you feel Rise’s vision as a team, the intense dance song “Ember to Solar” which contains the team color of overcoming adversity and soaring toward the goal, and the youth cheer song “Show Me Love” which is Rise-style and has an attractive sing-along section.

Also, the instrumental piece ‘Passage’, which music producer Yoon Sang participated in, becomes an emotional turning point in the album, and the album also includes the fairytale-like atmosphere of ‘Midnight Mirage’, two fan songs, the lyrical ballad ‘The End of the Day’ and the retro-feeling pop ballad ‘Inside My Love’, as well as the 10th track ‘Another Life’, which contains Rise’s ambitions and determination.

Rise will perform the title track ‘Fly Up’ and the track ‘Bag Bad Back’ for the first time at the album release commemorative showcase that will be held at the SOL Travel Hall in Blue Square, Seoul at 5 PM today and will be live streamed through the Rise YouTube and TikTok channels.
