Falling out of touch with fans, is for sure a way to loose your level of fame. Fans have taken to social media to discuss IVE's worsening performances. What's really going on? We dive into the details!
IVE recently dropped their prerelease track ahead of their third EP, Rebel Heart, on January 13, 2025, however fans were quick to take to social media to discuss if their songs are getting worse rather than better.
"IVE's songs are seriously getting worse. I really miss the vibe of 'Love Dive,' 'Eleven,' and 'After Like.' Their songs have been getting worse after 'I AM'."
Some fans did agree that their new teaser for their EP was a fail, compared to their successful earlier hits, although some did argue that they are bias until they have heard the full third album.
Let's take a look at their third EP official video!
So what is the song about?
Their new track really does portray the members diverse and individual stories. It is clear that each member does have a strong vocal range, being able to combine their harmonies which can clearly be seen through their uplifting chorus, accompanied by the up-tempo drum beats and backing track.
Our review
On the surface, "Rebel Heart" does execute many things right. It has a great upbeat sound, with a pretty decent and overwhelming finale, not to mention the powerful guitar sounds which are featured throughout and the stomping percussion. The melodies too offer a sense of "bigness" from the group, and we love the sound of each members vocals layered together with the instrumental sounds.
There are however some flaws, such as the chorus being too repetitive, and some of the members do seem to shout at times as opposed to sing. The music video, as you are able to see feels a little more like company branding, rather than the girls just being themselves and having fun, which ironically does tend to sell more music. These elements in our opinion tend to flaw the otherwise solid pop track, which makes it difficult to fully embrace "Rebel Heart" like we had hoped.
