RIIZE, New Song 'Fame' Released... "A Different Feeling from Before, You Can Discover a New Side"

The group RIIZE, under SM Entertainment, is attempting a new musical transformation with the release of their new song 'Fame' on the 24th.

On this day, the group stated through their agency that they have returned with a completely different feeling from before and that fans will be able to discover a new side of the group. Member Shotaro expressed that he felt new with a style he had never tried before, and encouraged fans to enjoy the cool and free vibe.

'Fame' is a song in the Rage hip-hop genre, which RIIZE is challenging for the first time. Rage, a sub-genre of hip-hop, is characterized by incorporating electronic music elements to express intense energy. RIIZE has included a message that sharing love is truly more important than fame, along with a high-level performance filled with explosive power.

Member Eunsuk introduced the song by saying, "When I first heard it, I got the impression that it was dark yet powerful, and I hope listeners can think about what is most important to them."

In terms of performance, Shotaro explained, "It was difficult to maintain the hip-hop groove and not lose the sound, and the choreography in the chorus is also complex." He particularly emphasized, "The final dance break is so well-executed that even I feel it 'slayed' (is great), so please look forward to it."

The single includes a total of three tracks: 'Fame', 'Something's in the Water' in the R&B pop genre, and the pop-rock style dance song 'Sticky Like', which tells a story of pure love. Member Seongchan explained that 'Something's in the Water' is nice to listen to quietly at night, and 'Sticky Like' is a good song to start the day with.

After a six-month hiatus since their regular album 'Odyssey' in May, RIIZE expressed their hope that the songs included in this single will be a gift for their fans. Member Wonbin stated, "I am excited to show a new song unique to RIIZE and am curious about the reactions, so please love it as much as we have worked hard on it."
