RIIZE has officially entered their full-album era—and it’s nothing short of cinematic. With the release of “ODYSSEY,” their highly-anticipated first full-length studio album, the Emotional Pop pioneers declare that 2024 was only the beginning. As they get closer to their second anniversary, the group sets their sights higher than ever, aiming for ‘ONE TOP’ status in 2025. And if this 10-track masterpiece is any indication, they’re well on their way.
RIIZE Full Album, “ODYSSEY” — A Milestone in the Making
RIIZE debut full album, “ODYSSEY,” takes inspiration from their core identity of a “Realtime Odyssey.” The album feels like a coming-of-age story told in sound. Each track is a chapter in the group’s evolving journey. From explosive confidence to intimate vulnerability, the album is masterfully designed to show who RIIZE is and where they’re going.
This evolution is also symbolic: this is the group’s first album since their initial debut in 2023, and it neatly captures the trials, growth, and rising stardom they’ve experienced since then.
The Sound of Emotional Pop—RIIZE Album Review
Lead Single: “Fly Up”
Taking center stage is the retro-inspired title track “Fly Up.” Mixing 1950s rock and roll energy with a full-blown choir, it’s RIIZE at their most jubilant. The lyrics speak of unity through music, breaking down societal walls as the members find joy together with people across the globe. The performance and music video are staged as a RIIZE-style youth musical, complete with vivid character expressions and electrifying choreography—proving that their storytelling is just as strong visually as it is sonically.
“Odyssey”
The opening track launches listeners into the cosmos with airy synths and UK Garage beats. “Odyssey” is mission statement about trust, teamwork, and fearlessly moving forward.
“Bag Bad Back”
The next track is a swaggering hip-hop banger that cleverly likens each member’s ambitions to what they carry in their metaphorical ‘bag’. “Bag Bad Back” is a groovy, gritty, and undeniably fun track.
“Ember to Solar”
With booming brass and kinetic energy, this song represents RIIZE’s personal and professional transformation—from struggling embers to shining stars. “Ember to Solar” is a soaring anthem of resilience.
“Show Me Love”
Next one is a fresh, youthful pop track that screams RIIZE’s generational voice. It’s an anthem of self-love, encouraging fans to choose their own paths.
“Passage”
With cinematic orchestration, it serves as a reflective pivot point in the album. “Passage” is a wordless interlude that carries significant emotional weight
“Midnight Mirage”
Dreamy and atmospheric, this track perfectly captures the mood of 3 a.m. inspiration. It’s like walking through a dream that’s slowly becoming real.
“The End of the Day”
The track is the most sentimental moment on the album. It’s a warm ballad that offers sincere gratitude to fans, wrapped in acoustic intimacy.
“Inside My Love”
With 90s nostalgia and modern sentiment, this track feels like a love letter to their fanbase—emotional, pure, and full of heart.
“Another Life”
It’s a fitting finale from trainee dreams to stardom. RIIZE reflects on their journey with an emotional surge of rock-infused energy. It’s a goodbye to the past—and a promise for the future.
Global Impact, Record-Breaking Promotions, and RIIZE 2025 World Tour
RIIZE didn’t hold back on the rollout. Ahead of the official drop, they unveiled a 40-minute cinematic film previewing all 10 tracks, streamed in 125 regions globally and shown in 27 theaters across Asia, including Korea, China, Japan, and Thailand. The scale of this premiere signals a group ready to claim the global stage.
With the momentum of “ODYSSEY,” RIIZE will kick off their “2025 RIIZE CONCERT TOUR [RIIZING LOUD]” starting in Seoul this July. The tour will span 14 cities, including major stops in Japan, Southeast Asia, and beyond—bringing their Emotional Pop to an international audience hungry for more.
