Virtual Idol Group PLAVE Returns with Mini Album 'Caligo Pt.1'

The album is set to release today, November 3rd, at 6 PM on various music streaming platforms.
'Caligo Pt.1' marks a new chapter for PLAVE, moving beyond the 'ASTERUM Trilogy' that introduced their journey. This album showcases a deeper emotional range unique to PLAVE, featuring five tracks across genres like rock, city pop, hip-hop, R&B, and ballad. The members have once again demonstrated their self-producing prowess by participating in composing, writing, choreography, and production.
The title track 'Dash' is a powerful rock-based song that highlights PLAVE's transformation. The members meticulously refined the song and choreography to capture their intense yet unique emotional expression.
The music video for 'Dash' was produced on a blockbuster scale, with more than double the manpower and production time compared to previous works. It combines striking visuals and storytelling to dramatically portray PLAVE's new challenges and changes.
Previously released as a special video on their official YouTube channel, the track 'Island' contrasts the title track with its soothing R&B tempo and gentle piano melody. The lyrics confess how 'you' have transformed a mundane world into one filled with beautiful light, creating a serenade.
The album also includes the sweet fan song '12:32 (A to T)' featuring guitarist Jeokjae, the retro city pop-inspired 'Chroma Drift', and the catchy casual hip-hop track 'RIZZ'. Each of the five tracks reflects the members' dedication and affection.
'Caligo Pt.1' comes five months after their digital single 'Pump Up The Volume!' released in August. The album has generated buzz with its bold visuals and concept, a departure from the lively and playful charm of their previous single. Pre-release content such as concept photos, moving posters, highlight medley videos, and music video teasers have hinted at a high-quality album, raising anticipation.
PLAVE's story, which began on the mysterious planet 'ASTERUM', now continues with a journey of self-discovery amidst chaos, promising fans more mature musicality and emotion.
Meanwhile, PLAVE's third mini-album 'Caligo Pt.1' will be available on various music streaming platforms today, November 3rd, at 6 PM.
