SM Entertainment’s latest boy group, RIIZE, is gearing up for a musical comeback. The agency announced on the 23rd that RIIZE‘s new single “Talk Saxy” will drop on various music platforms at 6:00 PM KST on the 27th. This dance track promises to hook listeners right from the start with its catchy saxophone riff coupled with a robust 808 drum sound. The lyrics candidly and confidently express interest in a stranger.
RIIZE has carved a niche for themselves by introducing the “emotional pop” genre, channeling a spectrum of emotions through their music. Their previous tracks, the refreshing “Memories” and the funky “Get A Guitar,” have set the stage for high expectations for “Talk Saxy.”
Staying true to their theme of musical instruments, after guitars, RIIZE is now spotlighting the saxophone. This woodwind instrument, invented in 1840 by Adolphe Sax, uses a reed to produce sound. Players blow air into the mouthpiece, causing the reed to vibrate. The saxophone, with its approximately 22 keys, has been a staple in various music genres, from classical to jazz. Notable saxophonists include Marcel Mule, John Coltrane, and Charlie Parker.

RIIZE has a cool new look
Teaser photos and videos for “Talk Saxy” were unveiled on RIIZE‘s official SNS accounts at midnight on the 23rd. The visuals of the seven members in their stylish uniforms, combined with snippets of the song and its choreography, amplified fans’ excitement.
When RIIZE debuted, some said the members’ weird hairstyles detracted from their natural good looks. But if the teasers for “Talk Saxy” are any indication, it seems the group’s stylists took this feedback to heart. They gave the members a new look, and fans love it!
RIIZE made a significant impact with their debut single album, Get a Guitar, released on September 4. They became million-sellers in just one week after debut, and landed high-profile collaborations to boot. – K-Pop News Writer
