RIIZE Make Their Comeback With Funk-Infused "Talk Saxy"


SM's newest rookie group, RIIZE, is back with their latest funkafied single, "Talk Saxy." The dance-oriented track highlights the group's unique and confident style in a groovier, R&B-infused format, using energetic saxophone riffs and booming beats to show off the group's stellar musicality and range.

The addictive single opens on a strong note with a dynamic saxophone chorus and 808 beats leading the charge in the driving production. Amid the brassy soundscapes, the members' personalities and individual talents shine on the catchy verses as they deliver an honest and confident narration of their interest being piqued over a stranger. Their engaging and smooth vocals are the perfect counterpoint to the omnipresent sax riffs that swell underneath the high energy, flourishing guitar lines, funk bass lines, and snappy percussion.

In the music video, RIIZE delivers exhilarating performances on various stages, ranging from flashy setups to street settings. The group evokes '90s nostalgia and memories of popular boy bands like NSYNC and Back Street Boys with their coordinated baggy outfits, sports jerseys, and elaborate set design.

"Talk Saxy" follows the release of their massively successful debut single "Get A Guitar," where they announced their signing with RCA Records before making their official debut. The previously released track brings a refreshing, pop-centric presence to the scene with effervescent instrumentals, dance-inducing production, and sweet, energetic vocals, characterizing RIIZE's spirit and personality with its youthful exuberance and surprisingly down-to-earth, ridiculously groovy pop elements.
