AleXa's New Single Album "ReviveR"

Like her previous releases, "ReviveR" shows her worldview of artificial intelligence (AI) that AleXa has shown since her debut in 2019.

"ReviveR" shows the end of AleXa as a human, also called AleXa_H(eart), and presents the beginning of AleXa A.I.

But according to the singer's agency, ZB Label, the title of the album, which can be read in reverse order, can mean that it could be the beginning or end of a new AI worldview.

In addition to the title track "Xtra," AleXa's new single album also contains the B-side song, "Obsession."

In "Obsession," AleXa is credited as a lyricist and composer. This is her first time participating in her own song.

The B-side is an energetic track that combines hip-hop and electronic elements. Its lyrics are about "flexing what I'm good at" and "I'll have everything."

AleXa will make her comeback stage on KBS2's "Music Bank" on July 2.
