The upcoming release of ‘IVE SWITCH’ will come about half a year after the girl group’s first EP, ‘I’VE MINE’, which was release in October 2023. In a glowing four-star review of the project, NME‘s Crystal Bell said that there is “an acute sense of growth and girlishness that permeates [the release]”.
Last year, IVE also released their first studio album, titled ‘I’VE IVE’. The record was later named one of the best album of 2023 by NME, with album cuts ‘Blue Blood’ and ‘I AM’ also features on NME‘s list of the best K-pop songs of 2023.
Earlier this year, IVE teamed up with Saweetie on a remake of Icona Pop’s hit 2023 single, ‘All Night’. Group member Wonyoung has since spoken about what it was like working with Saweetie, saying that she “freaked out” when she learned of the collaboration.
In other K-pop news, KISS OF LIFE have dropped a music video for their brand-new single ‘Midas Touch’. The single follows their second mini-album ‘Born To Be XX’, which was released in November 2023.
