RIIZE READIES FOR A BOLD NEW CHAPTER WITH FIRST FULL-LENGTH ALBUM ‘ODYSSEY’
RIIZE is ready to rise with the release of their highly anticipated debut full-length album, ODYSSEY—available now via SM Entertainment/RCA Records. Marking a bold declaration of the group’s evolving identity, ODYSSEY builds on their core concept of “Real-Time Odyssey,” capturing their ongoing journey of growth as they approach their second debut anniversary in 2025.
Accompanying the release is the official music video for the title track, “Fly Up”. Filmed in Los Angeles, the video represents a return to RIIZE’s roots—the city where they shot their earliest music videos and began shaping their distinctive visual identity.
More than just a milestone, ODYSSEY marks the natural evolution of RIIZE’s sound and vision, following the success of their debut mini-album RIIZING and their first fan concert tour, RIIZING DAY. The album spans ten emotionally rich and sonically diverse tracks, capturing the group’s passion, authenticity, and youthful energy while delivering a musical statement that resonates far beyond K-pop.
The album opens with the atmospheric “Odyssey,” setting the tone for their fearless journey. The high-energy title track, “Fly Up,” blends 1950s rock and roll with a powerful choir, symbolizing RIIZE’s mission to break societal boundaries through music. From the playful swagger of “Bag Bad Back” to the empowering anthem “Show Me Love,” ODYSSEY explores themes of growth, unity, and self-discovery. Tracks like “Ember to Solar”and “Passage” reflect personal transformation, while “Midnight Mirage” captures creative inspiration. “Another Life” mirrors the group’s evolution from trainees to artists, and the album closes with two heartfelt fan-dedicated tracks: “The End of the Day” and “Inside My Love.”
With ODYSSEY, RIIZE delivers a striking testament to their artistic evolution—one that balances vulnerability with confidence, and individuality with universal appeal—cementing their status as one of the most compelling rising acts in global pop.
This summer, RIIZE will return to Los Angeles to perform at KCON LA on August 3. Following that appearance, the group will make history as the first K-pop act to perform at the Austin City Limits Music Festival, taking the stage on October 4. In addition to these performances, RIIZE will launch their first solo tour, the 2025 RIIZE CONCERT TOUR [RIIZING LOUD], beginning in Asia, with more cities and dates to be announced soon.
