VIVIZ (Versus) - 'MANIAC'

VERSUS marks the release of VIVIZ's fourth mini album (EP). This highly anticipated album hit the shelves on November 2, 2023, following the success of their earlier EP, 'VarioUS'. Comprising of five captivating tracks, VERSUS did not include any pre-releases, with the mesmerizing track "MANIAC" taking center stage as the title track. The physical edition of the album offered two versions, namely FAKE and FATE, and reached a commendable position of 32 on the Korean MelOn charts.

The mini album has a nice variety of tracks. The fan favorite will likely be the unique and catchy song "Untie," which showcases a different style for the group. It would be great to see them promote this alongside "Maniac." Another interesting and cute track is "Up 2 Me," perfect for those in the mood for something upbeat and bubbly.

We begin with the song titled 'MANIAC'. Our goal is to create a pop dance track with a captivating bassline. I particularly enjoy the subtle rock influence brought by the bass guitar. It adds an awesome touch to the overall production quality.

We are continuing to embrace the pop dance atmosphere with the song 'UNTIE', but the introduction surprised me. This track is an absolute hit that would make any club go wild. I can't help but imagine myself vogueing and waacking to the beats of this song. Honestly, I am completely infatuated with this track. The charm, the energy, the vocals, every aspect of it is flawless.

'Overflow' introduces us to a track with a distinct R&B style. The chorus is fantastic, and I have a deep appreciation for the subtle sound elements within the instrumentals. The overall experience is incredibly sleek and polished, providing a seamless listening experience.

We have our next song called 'DAY BY DAY' up next. We're taking a nostalgic trip back to the 90s with this pop track. It has a soft and pleasant vibe, making it a truly enjoyable listen.

The final song on the mini-album is titled 'UP2ME'. This particular track has a nostalgic pop sound, featuring delightful synthesizers and an incredibly memorable chorus. It has an undeniable charm.

The listening experience of 'VERSUS' by VIVIZ was truly delightful in every way. I highly recommend giving it a listen, which you can do by visiting Spotify and searching for it.
