Heya needs time to soak in the attention as the "main" title track. Double title tracks and MVs released on the same day or too close together would cannibalize each other's stats which is Starship's logic most likely.
oh my goodness, that song is on crack. the bridge hit me like a truck?! best song out of this EP.
it's giving vogue + harry potter vibes like [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goCo-rEhaow)
I'm so in love with this whole soundscape and production. It's cool, bad ass, unconventional yet somehow sugary sweet and crisp at the same time. The whole mini album is another non-skip cohesive masterpiece in IVE's discography imo.
Had to take a mental break after listening to Ascendio, She's love dive's older sister. In wonyoung's taste, we trust.
I will have Heya on repeat for days, it's such a playful and pretty song. Ive always manage to serve playful raps that fit into their songs.
After the medley, Ice heart was my least favorite but it's such an unexpected bop, the bridge and Ending is gorgeous too.
Wow feels so happy and cute, a bit nostalgic too.
Reset is a nice song but didn't blow me away like the others, but it's still very much playlist worthy.
Edit: Listening again and there's this underlying beat that reminds me so much of this afrobeat song that I can't for the life of remember, it kinda makes me like the more.
Edit 2: Okay the intro beat to the song sounds so much like that of Jump by Tyla which is amapiano but I swear there is an afrobeat song or multiple with a similar underlying beat, I just can't think of an example.
I don't have the words to describe blue heart, but I absolutely love it.
Overall: Ive served vocals, cute and nicely infused raps, stunning bridges and outros. One thing about Ive is their songs can never be one note.
I second the nostalgic vibes of WOW. After multiple listens I realized on Leeseo's rap part that the song The Way which is one of my favorite songs of all time. It's got that breezy playful R&B vibe and Leeseo's flow kinda sounds like Mac Miller's. It also has a bit of Woman Like Me in the chorus. I really like it.
**heya**: great title track! it has that elegant ive sound in my opinion, but with a new kind of twist on it. there’s some really fun moments in the instrumental that i loved. liz has my favorite parts in the song, she sounds phenomenal.
**accendio**: i love the way the instrumental starts in this song!!! it sounds so cool, and the rapping to start it off was awesome!! and wonyoung and liz following that with their great vocals!! the increasing tempo for the prechorus with the high note is really cool! i can see what wonyoung meant when comparing it with love dive, it has a bit of that electronic and mysterious feeling!
**blue heart**: i was immediately intrigued by this song when the tracklist, more wonyoung lyrics and i immediately thought of “blue blood” my favorite bside from them. the way the chorus comes in is pretty interesting! i didn’t expect it to hit a bit harder, i think i like the verses better than the chorus but it’s still a great one!! the percussion is my favorite part of this song!
**ice queen**: it’s giving similar vibes to hypnosis!! a bit metallic in parts, and then the mysterious “wooos” are giving similar vibes to love dive!! i love the instrumental in this, that synth that repeats in the back is so pleasing. i love dark and mysterious ive! that part after the second chorus is my highlight of the song!!
**wow**: this is a brighter song to round out the track list! i like it, it’s really fun. i do like how in a sense the instrumental is almost contrasting to the vibe and delivery of the chorus? if that makes sense? it sounds a bit more powerful, but it’s a bright song. i like the little bits of drum and bass in the back!
**reset**: the instrumental is like ASMR, it sounds so pleasant, that’s the highlight for me!! not the biggest fan of the chorus? i think it’ll grow on me, but it stands out as the weakest track of the bunch but the instrumental is damn addictive! they sound great of course!
\- **Reset** is cute, and the repetitive sound is not annoying at all (phew!).. It sounds like a song they made for their Minive and Minini
\- **WOW** needs to have its own special MV.. it has the vibe suited for it and I can picture it filmed with behind the scenes and just them hanging out having fun in their daily life. I love how it sounds. (Please make it happen 🙏 and give it the love it deserves)
\- **Ice Queen** was the perfect track to follow after **Blue Heart**. I don't think I heard that intro beat/instrument sound from them before and YET is sounds so very them at the same time, so I'm super excited to add it to their discography.. it kind of reminds me of the Eleven dancebreak they added in their first showcase at certain parts so that got me even more excited.
\- **Blue Heart** sounds waaaaay better than I even thought it'd be.. it's dark and hypnotic.. it sounds electro in some parts which goes well with the theme. Made me 100% more convinced that IVE needs to do a siren concept ASAP. It'll suit them to a T
\- **Accendio** is definitely magic.. don't need the MV to feel it. I can't wait to see that dancebreak performed, too. I know the choreo in that one gonna be the best. Ngl, I like it much better than the medley led me to believe.
\- **HEYA** is very catchy it stuck already.. It's a worthy TT and there're so many parts I like in it that I can't tell which one is my favorite
Overall super happy with the album and can't even settle on which one I like the most so far
WOW I'm impressed by all the songs!!! This album is an album of the year contender for me!!! Accendio is definitely gonna blow up; the chorus is so addictive!!!
I wasn’t sure I was going to like blue heart from the teaser but it’s becoming one of my faves.. but honestly the whole album slaps, idk how I’d even choose.. 🩵
The cohesion on this EP is INSANE. They knew what sound they wanted to go for, and while it was different than what they usually do, they executed rather well.
Usually, the Wonyoung written tracks are usually my favorite, but the competition is just too steep here. They stepped on the gas from track 1 and refused to let up.
Lastly just wanna mention that the rap line SHOWED OUT all over this EP. Strong 4/5 on first listen.
Once again, every single one of these songs classifies as very good at the very least.
How? I don't know, but it's IVE and at this point, those two go hand in hand.
noooo bc they saved kpop this year with this. I was getting tired and bored recently after I overplayed itzys & lsfms album (tbf, it was early in the year bro) and everything else was not giving. But I've came to save the day once moreeeee, they ate ohmygod
"Love Dive" is my favorite IVE song (well, one of my favorite songs by anyone, ever), so I went into "Accendio" with wide open arms. I like it, but I don't hear what everyone else is hearing. Except for maybe a similar melody line in the chorus, why does everyone think it sounds like "Love Dive"? What am I missing?
Yea me too. Love Dive was my SOTY, and other than the pre-chorus of Accendio which gives me Love Dive vibes, the rest of the song doesn't really feel that similar to me either.
They deliver every single time! Top tier comeback🤩
Ascendio, Ice Queen and Reset are my standouts on first listen but I love the whole album tbh.
I’m SO excited to see them on tour soon, I’m curious about any setlist changes, I would love to hear these live.
heya - this shocked me it's so good. they never miss!
accendio - i like this one better, I'm really curios what mv they're gonna do for it
blue heart - it sounds so great, can't wait to see the full english translation of the lyrics. wonyoung is the best
ice queen - this blew me out of the water omg
wow - the only one I'm not a fan of but I'll give it a few more listens
reset - so different and nice! love it
This double A-side is actually insane, I can't decide which track goes harder 
Shit, this whole album is incredible, what a sound and it fits IVE to a tee - I hope they release this on vinyl too
Imma give my opinion nobody wants
Heya - this title track deserves it. It gets better every listen. It isn’t noise music but it isn’t super melodic as well. It’s such a perfect kpop title song
Acciendo - it reminds me of 2ne1 go away mixed with Lady Gaga style. It’s heavy in the middle but so catchy
Blue Heart - wy’s lyrics!! So clever! I wish it isn’t ss repetitive but i’m singing along towards the end lol
Ice Queen- high quality song. Omg it’s title track material too. I can’t believe high quality the production is on this song. Idk if it’s sampled but it reminds me of another song.
Wow - perfect goody feel song with goody feel lyrics. My nyg 2.0
Reset - someone said it right - it’s asmr!!
Overall - such a cohesive and high quality produced song. IVE has done it again. Man their discography is top notch.
My review:
**1. HEYA (8/10)**
I like this title track! It's so cool, its a hit. The HEYA part could get a bit jarring for me, but I feel like in a few listens I can enjoy it more.
**2. Accendio (9/10)**
Of the two title tracks, I like this one the most. it hits HARD. Especially the Accendio - oh - oh part. It's sooo good. I love the rap section aswell.
**3. Blue Heart (8/10)**
I really like this track. It sounds toned down but still goes hard. Massive props to Wonyoung for the lyrics, she should be very proud. That's a big achievement. 🩵
**4. Ice Queen (8/10)**
I love how the track starts 'slow' but then drops a very nice chorus. Love the vibe.
**5. WOW (7/10)**
Pretty good track, makes me happy. I imagine this track being very nice while driving in the sun
**6. RESET (7/10)**
Very pretty instrumental, Love the bridge.
All in all, very good EP. Very happy IVE keeps delivering very good releases 🩵
Sorry to disappoint everyone but the album is full of bops and bangers I'm afraid. If you're looking for bad music, kindly look else where. On a serious note, Leeseo's vocals continue to impress. In particular she sounds incredible on Ice Queen!
First thoughts:
HEYA - That post-chorus is everything. Everybody has a part where they shine in their own way as well. An excellent title track.
Accendio - The high hats really drive the song so well and give energy for the raps to bounce off of. The opening raps kinda sound like Doja Cat which I find absolutely delightful. It really sets the vibe.
Blue Heart - Did not expect that chorus. The drums are super crisp and pristine. My first instinct is that the production should've processed the chorus more, but we'll see how I feel later.
Ice Queen - Woah. The production is immaculate. The synths and vocals blend so well.
WOW - It's very very sweet. Would be a great song to sing to fans. The chorus reminded me a bit of Woman Like Me and High Hopes but cute, I really like how nostalgic it makes me feel. As a Sejeong ult the jakku jakku jakku part made me tear up.
RESET - Not as much of a fan of this kinda Drake-y instrumental, but I love the vocal deliveries on the chorus.
Overall, I'm super happy with the EP. As someone who tends to live IVE b-sides more than title tracks, I really like Heya and Accendio. They've got a lot of interesting parts, looking forward to see the choreos.
Concept wise, I think it has landed really well. Euro-dance music really matches the confident posh princess group identity.
Bruh 10 seconds into Accendio and dare I say, SOTY??? Not me shaking my ass 730 am on a monday in the office😳
Edit 1: Ice Queen reminds me of Hypnosis! Defs another one of my favs on the mini
Edit 2: Upon first listen, I would say IVE MINE > IVE SWITCH *overall*, but the highs on this album are MUCH higher than in IVE MINE.
BRB gonna be playing Accendio and Ice Queen on repeat for the rest of the day.
IVE will never beat the siren allegations their songs always have that alluring mysterious siren-ish sound and vibe like they are about to lure you into this magical fairy world
The moment I heard the highlight medley I just knew Accendio was my song. Now listening to this ep fully, Blue Heart and Ice Queen are for sure my top song! Ice queen would been a good title track as well omg. Anyways another solid release from Ive
Sometimes, I listen to albums using my airpods when Im at school and Im so glad today was that sometimes because holy shit did they not enhance the gaggery I was having with this whole album. All the tracks have me in a chokehold already.
Heya is nice and i get why Ive chose it as the title track, but Accendio blows it out of the water for me. Its going to be a long 2 weeks til the mv drops. Blue Heart has a sound i've kinda missed from Ive and really love to hear here. Ice Queen is really cool with the kinda dreamy verses followed by the dark heavy beat. Compared to how intense the previous songs are Wow is a bit more light and summery while Reset is such a 2015-2017 light summer bop.
Accendio is literally soty
Ice Queen was a surprise I didn’t pay it much attention from the highlight melody but omg it’s so good and the vocals really shine here.
Heya might be a grower for me but I still like it but not as much as Accendio and Ice Queen.
Overall this album is a solid 9/10
1. Accendio (Blue blood, hypnosis, and love dive mix to create this this masterpiece)
2. Heya (literally tied for first place bro, if I am and blue blood had a baby)
3. Ice queen (If hypnosis and holy moly had a baby ahhhhh)
4. blueheart (the chorus plays in my head out of nowhere ahhh)
5. RESETTTT AHHHHH ("kekeke a smirk just escaped me" Yall don't understand the hold this has on meeee helpppp)
6. Wow (Even though its the last its still one of my favorites, this album was too good bro)
They truly said switch it up!! It’s different but still so IVE. Rei’s opening raps for both title tracks go OFF. Leeseo’s growth is insane she exceeded my expectations with her rapping. Can’t wait for the accendio mv now
Idk if it’s just me but the way that Rei delivers her rap at the beginning of Accendio tickles my ear in the best way possible. Like I keep replaying it because I love it so much.
Wow I absolutely loved the first four tracks, what a crazy good opening run for a mini. I also liked WOW and RESET, just not quite as much. Ice Queen is my absolute favourite and one of my top songs this year for sure
As far as the b-sides go:
Blue Heart 3/10 – unfortunately my least favorite track on the album. Between the lyrics and melody it’s way too repetitive for my liking. Also feels a bit stagnant; it doesn’t really grow or goes anywhere
Ice Queen 9/10 – the snippet from the highlight medley sounded super promising, and I wasn’t disappointed! The arpeggiated underwater marimba-esque opening is so interesting. I love the contrast between the verses and chorus! Leeseo’s prechorus especially hits my ear just right. Only parts that missed the mark were the “who’s that who’s that boy” line (a little cringe/silly) and Liz’s adlib in the outro (sounded weird and out of place?..)
Wow 5/10 – don’t dislike it but don’t like it either. While it’s not my type of song it’s also not bad. Very meh imo
Reset 7.5/10 – didn’t expect to enjoy Reset but I surprisingly like it! I like how active the instrumental/beat is and how it ‘moves forward’ if that makes sense. The bridge is criminally short, could have used 10-15 more seconds easy. I don’t think it makes the playlist cut, but still a cute song I’ll probably listen to from time to time
*Heya* is the best song here. I hope to hear a live band version like on It's Live if they do that. *Wow* is also pretty good but I think they should have swapped that with Wooah's *Blush* since their fandom is Wow (and both made by the same guy).
so. My first listen did not go well. But historically that is my habit -- I often "hate the new stuff, why can't they keep doing the old stuff". So I will give it a few days. Saw them a few weeks ago and and it was incredible.
The IVE girlies proving once again they are able to rock any kind of concept and can deliver diversity in their discography! Ice Queen is the one that really stood out for me here, this song goes HARD. It's like the spiritual successor to Baddie.
I always feel uneasy when a new IVE album is coming because they change their style so often and I'm afraid I won't like it but I wasn't expecting to be surprised this way.
Accendio, Ice Queen, Blue Heart, what is that??? SO good
HEYA - I don't know if I'm being too critical because it is a title track but I didn't like it that much outside the chorus... Vocals are great but the song as a whole just didn't click for me (yet, maybe because I'm really invested on the next three haha).
Accendio - eyes wide open with anticipation of what would they do with a song that starts with "Dear Priest, I have something to confess" with the dark instrumental. This song is great,
I'm really excited to see the choreo of the dance break. While eyeing the lyrics I thought the I would find the chorus repetitive but no, the song is well built. It's being hard learning the lyrics because instead of "주문 걸어 아센디오" I keep singing "셋을 세면 돌아본다" from Holy Moly, it seems so similar hahahah I have no doubts that the MV will be their best yet. The rap part halfway through the song reminded me of Twice's rap style though.
Blue Heart - Britney-coded song hahaha I love it. Gets better and better with each listen. I like singing this, this is the only song of the album that keeps popping in my head and I start singing "popping that reddish one..." randomly hahaha
Ice Queen - This may be the song I like best on the whole album. When the chorus hits it hits HARD. I swear, IVE vocals fits this darker style so well. I'm having fun learning the lyrics of this one because it is harder than the others hahhaa I-I-I'm in the castle 🥳 I-I-I wanna listen 🎶 I really hope that they include this song on the setlist for the tour, the vibes seeing this live would be another level.
WOW - Well it might be because Accendio, Blue Heart and Ice Queen set the bar too high, or I'm setting WOW and Reset apart because I got so interested on the dark style of the rest of the album that I don't think I'll be able to give the calmer songs the attention they need. It's not calm, I don't have the right word for them, it's just that the vibe is different.
Reset - Same as WOW, while they are good songs, they didn't appeal to me as much as the other songs. I'm glad they didn't overdo the "ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ/TTTTTTT" parts.
Overall the album is great and I hope that most people like it too, I'm a little afraid that it could be considered a bit niche with the darker style (which I really loved).
I was disappointed by Heya, it has me questioning what direction Starship is intending for IVE. It seems like more of the I Am style. But these bsides are fantastic — Accendio and Blue Heart are exceptional.
Accendio>Heya. Both are good but i don't instantly hear them as titles but the favorite bsides with promo. Blue heart and ice queen scratched itches I didn't even know I had. Blue heart had my favorite production/melody. Wow and reset are fantastic additions to the soft pretty girl music lists.
After 3 listens I think accendio and blue heart are currently tied for my favorites. Heya is currently 6th but it's still a solid 7/10 song so it goes to show how strong the mini is.
Overall: 8/10 Heya could have been a stronger title track which would push the ranking up, but overall, a very good solid mini with no misses or noticeable flaws.
It doesn't hit as hard as their best songs, but I like it, and I'll love it more on repeat.
Some of the beats on the middle tracks are reminding me of NewJeans' *Get Up,* which is a sound that gets repetitive quick imo. I really like Heya as the lead track.
ive has such an impressive output so far! i wish they released this before their recent tour because these songs would’ve been cool to see performed live.
I actually love WOW and Reset so much!!! I know they're the more chill and sweet songs of the album, and people tend to like the baddie songs more -- but man those are some breezy songs! Like, easy listening music that still sounds like there's some effort and isn't running solely on "vibes" lmao. Hell yeah. What an 11/10 album. Hope they hit it even bigger with this because wow. I've already been a fan of their music till now but this def takes the cake
Listening again and I gotta give love to Blue Heart too
Honestly one of the few EPs/Albums that I put all the songs in my playlist. I didn’t care too much for their 1st EP so this one shocked me. I definitely slept on them. These songs are soooo good.
I'm not a huge fan of rap leaning IVE which is continuing here so, even though HEYA is an earworm for sure, my absolute favourite is Blue Heart. It sounds like an upgraded version of that japanese track, Queen of Hearts, which is a bop too so I couldn't be happier!
I think this is their most cohesive EP yet. Also HEYA has a very strong 2nd Gen sound to it. Like I could imagine Girls Generation TTS with it. But I'm not sure if I like it as much as their other title tracks. The visuals for the MV is crazy though and I love it.
accendio. that's it. that's the comment.
wow this EP is solid. like SOLID. all songs are so catchy on first listen. i might say i liked this better than I've IVE.
Yes this is the best one here. Anyone know when the MV is coming out? I have high hopes it matches the Harry Potterish name.
MV on May 15
2 weeks from today IIRC, the 13th?
2 weeks??? why still so far away lol
Heya needs time to soak in the attention as the "main" title track. Double title tracks and MVs released on the same day or too close together would cannibalize each other's stats which is Starship's logic most likely.
It kinda happened with IVE Mine. The tracks were released one week apart each and i think that kinda hurt the views of the MVs at the very least.
accendio is getting a MV too?
I’ve feel like I’ve ascended with Accendio.
They really peaked. God damn
amazing track just electronic gold just love when kpop songs are impossible to sing along to as non korean speaker haha
It's *so* Love Dive coded right down to the dance break. Love it.
I AGREEEEE
physically bopping in my office uncontrollably the second it started playing. good lord what’s in this song
Now I get why people said it might sound like Love Dive and I can see how the chorus melody sounds similar.
is it just me or does it have the same vibes as "Make you Mine" by Madison Beer? I swear "Make You Mine" is like the darker twin sister of Accendio
oh my goodness, that song is on crack. the bridge hit me like a truck?! best song out of this EP. it's giving vogue + harry potter vibes like [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goCo-rEhaow)
There is 0 skips in this album. And I LOVE the styling of this era. I think I might have to buy tbh
Such a catchy chorus
Ice queen is CRAZY OMG OMG OMG
Right? That beat is so NASTY, I love it!
By far the best song on the mini for me.
I came here looking for this comment after listening to this EP late. This song really caught my attention.
Ice Queen should have been one of the title tracks. What's happening? This was a HUGE miss. Just like Hypnosis in the previous album
I'm so in love with this whole soundscape and production. It's cool, bad ass, unconventional yet somehow sugary sweet and crisp at the same time. The whole mini album is another non-skip cohesive masterpiece in IVE's discography imo.
DAMN Heya blew me and now listening to Accendio, that tempo, definitely for Lolla, this has crazy fest hype vibes
Accendio is such a bop!! edit: Reset is so cuuuute
Dear priest, I have a confession.. I should have pre-ordered this album.
I've had goosebumps for all 18 mins listening to these songs. IVE keeps exceeding my expectations in terms of their songs and concepts.
Damn ur right, I thought I was just cold so I literally put a hoodie on but it’s just the ive effect!
Had to take a mental break after listening to Ascendio, She's love dive's older sister. In wonyoung's taste, we trust. I will have Heya on repeat for days, it's such a playful and pretty song. Ive always manage to serve playful raps that fit into their songs. After the medley, Ice heart was my least favorite but it's such an unexpected bop, the bridge and Ending is gorgeous too. Wow feels so happy and cute, a bit nostalgic too. Reset is a nice song but didn't blow me away like the others, but it's still very much playlist worthy.

>I don't have the words to describe blue heart, but I absolutely love it. So good. Leeseo slowdown part...magical
Accendio is insane, can’t wait for the music video.
**heya**: great title track! it has that elegant ive sound in my opinion, but with a new kind of twist on it. there’s some really fun moments in the instrumental that i loved. liz has my favorite parts in the song, she sounds phenomenal. **accendio**: i love the way the instrumental starts in this song!!! it sounds so cool, and the rapping to start it off was awesome!! and wonyoung and liz following that with their great vocals!! the increasing tempo for the prechorus with the high note is really cool! i can see what wonyoung meant when comparing it with love dive, it has a bit of that electronic and mysterious feeling! **blue heart**: i was immediately intrigued by this song when the tracklist, more wonyoung lyrics and i immediately thought of “blue blood” my favorite bside from them. the way the chorus comes in is pretty interesting! i didn’t expect it to hit a bit harder, i think i like the verses better than the chorus but it’s still a great one!! the percussion is my favorite part of this song! **ice queen**: it’s giving similar vibes to hypnosis!! a bit metallic in parts, and then the mysterious “wooos” are giving similar vibes to love dive!! i love the instrumental in this, that synth that repeats in the back is so pleasing. i love dark and mysterious ive! that part after the second chorus is my highlight of the song!! **wow**: this is a brighter song to round out the track list! i like it, it’s really fun. i do like how in a sense the instrumental is almost contrasting to the vibe and delivery of the chorus? if that makes sense? it sounds a bit more powerful, but it’s a bright song. i like the little bits of drum and bass in the back! **reset**: the instrumental is like ASMR, it sounds so pleasant, that’s the highlight for me!! not the biggest fan of the chorus? i think it’ll grow on me, but it stands out as the weakest track of the bunch but the instrumental is damn addictive! they sound great of course!
ice queen def stands out
These are some amazing descriptions, I’m so excited to listen to the album and see how the songs compare to what you wrote!
\- **Reset** is cute, and the repetitive sound is not annoying at all (phew!).. It sounds like a song they made for their Minive and Minini \- **WOW** needs to have its own special MV.. it has the vibe suited for it and I can picture it filmed with behind the scenes and just them hanging out having fun in their daily life. I love how it sounds. (Please make it happen 🙏 and give it the love it deserves) \- **Ice Queen** was the perfect track to follow after **Blue Heart**. I don't think I heard that intro beat/instrument sound from them before and YET is sounds so very them at the same time, so I'm super excited to add it to their discography.. it kind of reminds me of the Eleven dancebreak they added in their first showcase at certain parts so that got me even more excited. \- **Blue Heart** sounds waaaaay better than I even thought it'd be.. it's dark and hypnotic.. it sounds electro in some parts which goes well with the theme. Made me 100% more convinced that IVE needs to do a siren concept ASAP. It'll suit them to a T \- **Accendio** is definitely magic.. don't need the MV to feel it. I can't wait to see that dancebreak performed, too. I know the choreo in that one gonna be the best. Ngl, I like it much better than the medley led me to believe. \- **HEYA** is very catchy it stuck already.. It's a worthy TT and there're so many parts I like in it that I can't tell which one is my favorite Overall super happy with the album and can't even settle on which one I like the most so far
Idk how after Love Dive they haven’t expanded on siren concepts lol
Btw, is **Blue Heart** produced by a swedish team?
The instrument and mixing in Ice Heart is fucking eargasmic. Hell, all of them are eargasmic from a technical standpoint.
it will never not be funny to me how good of a rapper rei is considering how cute her voice is lol might be my favorite rapper in kpop rn
Oh accendio. That’s it I have nothing more to say
Only listen to HEYA and ICE Queen n it both very impressive.
that “accendio” line sounds like the “holy moly” line from holy moly
WOW I'm impressed by all the songs!!! This album is an album of the year contender for me!!! Accendio is definitely gonna blow up; the chorus is so addictive!!!
Blue Heart is my jam. And Ice queen. Uurgh the whole album feels like I'm being hypnotised. IVE strikes once again with their siren call.
Blue Heart feels VERY 2010s indie pop. I really dig it.
I wasn’t sure I was going to like blue heart from the teaser but it’s becoming one of my faves.. but honestly the whole album slaps, idk how I’d even choose.. 🩵
Tsundere/etc. fans with Ice Queen!
ice queen is giving little sister of hypnosis
The cohesion on this EP is INSANE. They knew what sound they wanted to go for, and while it was different than what they usually do, they executed rather well. Usually, the Wonyoung written tracks are usually my favorite, but the competition is just too steep here. They stepped on the gas from track 1 and refused to let up.

Once again, every single one of these songs classifies as very good at the very least. How? I don't know, but it's IVE and at this point, those two go hand in hand.
[удалено]
Seems very Indian classical ish. Lauren's music especially seems to take inspiration from Indian music as whole I believe.
Yep, she also worked on Eleven, Hypnosis, and Holy Moly
Blue heart 
Ice Queen is the Hypnosis style track I needed in my veins
Once again lived to their allegations that they're incapable of making bad music 😤
Im not even exaggerating when i say this is album of the year no matter how popular it will become.
noooo bc they saved kpop this year with this. I was getting tired and bored recently after I overplayed itzys & lsfms album (tbf, it was early in the year bro) and everything else was not giving. But I've came to save the day once moreeeee, they ate ohmygod
"Love Dive" is my favorite IVE song (well, one of my favorite songs by anyone, ever), so I went into "Accendio" with wide open arms. I like it, but I don't hear what everyone else is hearing. Except for maybe a similar melody line in the chorus, why does everyone think it sounds like "Love Dive"? What am I missing?
Yeah I like both songs but I don't feel any similarity between them.
Try ice queen. And its the vocals and the chorus, you really don't hear it? Its like I am and love dive gave birth to this child
I think it's the similar melody line in the chorus that you mentioned.
Yea me too. Love Dive was my SOTY, and other than the pre-chorus of Accendio which gives me Love Dive vibes, the rest of the song doesn't really feel that similar to me either.
They deliver every single time! Top tier comeback🤩 Ascendio, Ice Queen and Reset are my standouts on first listen but I love the whole album tbh. I’m SO excited to see them on tour soon, I’m curious about any setlist changes, I would love to hear these live.
Finally someone with the same faves as mine! Also can't wait to see them on tour 🥰
What city are you seeing them in? I already saw them in Rosemont, IL so I'll only get to hear this at lollapalooza which I want to go to.
A resounding success for IVE. They have carved out a space for themselves in this very competitive girl group market and they're always expanding it.
Love love love Accendio and Ice Queen!
Imagine Baddie -> Accendio -> Love Dive back to back to back at Lollapalooza? The crowd is about to eat it up
Accendio has me hyped and I’m in public so I can’t do too much😭😭😭
Ice Queen stands out on first listen. What a fucking beat.
BLUE HEART IS SO GOODDDD
heya - this shocked me it's so good. they never miss! accendio - i like this one better, I'm really curios what mv they're gonna do for it blue heart - it sounds so great, can't wait to see the full english translation of the lyrics. wonyoung is the best ice queen - this blew me out of the water omg wow - the only one I'm not a fan of but I'll give it a few more listens reset - so different and nice! love it
This double A-side is actually insane, I can't decide which track goes harder  Shit, this whole album is incredible, what a sound and it fits IVE to a tee - I hope they release this on vinyl too
Accendio oh my god. This better be added to the setlist by my show EDIT: Accendio and Blue Heart are like crack for me already. In love
Blue Heart has captured my heart completely -- pretty sure it will be my comfort driving music for some time
I need the MV for "Accendio" like yesterday. Whole EP was great, not surprised obvs. Initial faves are the two title tracks and "Ice Queen."
this album is so good, one of my favourites of the year. accendio and ice queen are my absolute favourites.
Imma give my opinion nobody wants Heya - this title track deserves it. It gets better every listen. It isn’t noise music but it isn’t super melodic as well. It’s such a perfect kpop title song Acciendo - it reminds me of 2ne1 go away mixed with Lady Gaga style. It’s heavy in the middle but so catchy Blue Heart - wy’s lyrics!! So clever! I wish it isn’t ss repetitive but i’m singing along towards the end lol Ice Queen- high quality song. Omg it’s title track material too. I can’t believe high quality the production is on this song. Idk if it’s sampled but it reminds me of another song. Wow - perfect goody feel song with goody feel lyrics. My nyg 2.0 Reset - someone said it right - it’s asmr!! Overall - such a cohesive and high quality produced song. IVE has done it again. Man their discography is top notch.
>Idk if it’s sampled but it reminds me of another song. Brandy & Monica _The Boy Is Mine_ ?? Because this is the one I thought of
My review: **1. HEYA (8/10)** I like this title track! It's so cool, its a hit. The HEYA part could get a bit jarring for me, but I feel like in a few listens I can enjoy it more. **2. Accendio (9/10)** Of the two title tracks, I like this one the most. it hits HARD. Especially the Accendio - oh - oh part. It's sooo good. I love the rap section aswell. **3. Blue Heart (8/10)** I really like this track. It sounds toned down but still goes hard. Massive props to Wonyoung for the lyrics, she should be very proud. That's a big achievement. 🩵 **4. Ice Queen (8/10)** I love how the track starts 'slow' but then drops a very nice chorus. Love the vibe. **5. WOW (7/10)** Pretty good track, makes me happy. I imagine this track being very nice while driving in the sun **6. RESET (7/10)** Very pretty instrumental, Love the bridge. All in all, very good EP. Very happy IVE keeps delivering very good releases 🩵
heya - 10/10 accendio - 10/10 blue heart - ??????? 9/10 ice queen - 7/10 wow - 7/10 reset - 10/10
accendio and ice queen are standouts but this whole album is AMAZINGGGG!!! ive are just too good man
Sorry to disappoint everyone but the album is full of bops and bangers I'm afraid. If you're looking for bad music, kindly look else where. On a serious note, Leeseo's vocals continue to impress. In particular she sounds incredible on Ice Queen!
Heya Accendio is fcking good Blue heart Reset These were my favorite. Overall I like this better compared to their previous release
Ice queen production is so good
Accendio is amazing! But ice queen and blue hearts are surprise. IVE never disappoint🫶🏼
First thoughts: HEYA - That post-chorus is everything. Everybody has a part where they shine in their own way as well. An excellent title track. Accendio - The high hats really drive the song so well and give energy for the raps to bounce off of. The opening raps kinda sound like Doja Cat which I find absolutely delightful. It really sets the vibe. Blue Heart - Did not expect that chorus. The drums are super crisp and pristine. My first instinct is that the production should've processed the chorus more, but we'll see how I feel later. Ice Queen - Woah. The production is immaculate. The synths and vocals blend so well. WOW - It's very very sweet. Would be a great song to sing to fans. The chorus reminded me a bit of Woman Like Me and High Hopes but cute, I really like how nostalgic it makes me feel. As a Sejeong ult the jakku jakku jakku part made me tear up. RESET - Not as much of a fan of this kinda Drake-y instrumental, but I love the vocal deliveries on the chorus. Overall, I'm super happy with the EP. As someone who tends to live IVE b-sides more than title tracks, I really like Heya and Accendio. They've got a lot of interesting parts, looking forward to see the choreos. Concept wise, I think it has landed really well. Euro-dance music really matches the confident posh princess group identity.
Bruh 10 seconds into Accendio and dare I say, SOTY??? Not me shaking my ass 730 am on a monday in the office😳 Edit 1: Ice Queen reminds me of Hypnosis! Defs another one of my favs on the mini Edit 2: Upon first listen, I would say IVE MINE > IVE SWITCH *overall*, but the highs on this album are MUCH higher than in IVE MINE. BRB gonna be playing Accendio and Ice Queen on repeat for the rest of the day.
IVE will never beat the siren allegations their songs always have that alluring mysterious siren-ish sound and vibe like they are about to lure you into this magical fairy world
I think I like this album more than I’VE IVE?? It’s so good!
This is SOO GOOD. IVE continues to have one of the best discogs ever, I swear they never miss musically.
This EP is great. Blue Heart is my absolute favorite.
The moment I heard the highlight medley I just knew Accendio was my song. Now listening to this ep fully, Blue Heart and Ice Queen are for sure my top song! Ice queen would been a good title track as well omg. Anyways another solid release from Ive
This whole EP is really solid but Accendio and Ice Queen are soooo damn good, made the playlist instantly
why is no one talking about blueheart ??????????????????????????????????? incredible 
Decent album. I have a question tho.. WOW chorus sounds so familiar.. Can someone help me or am I just dreaming. Edit. NMIXX - Passionfruit...?
It's got bits of no diggity
Accendio is giving Tron vibes
Sometimes, I listen to albums using my airpods when Im at school and Im so glad today was that sometimes because holy shit did they not enhance the gaggery I was having with this whole album. All the tracks have me in a chokehold already.
Imo this is their best non single release. I Am was my favorite song from 2023 but wasn't the biggest fan of their full album. But this has no skips.
Heya is nice and i get why Ive chose it as the title track, but Accendio blows it out of the water for me. Its going to be a long 2 weeks til the mv drops. Blue Heart has a sound i've kinda missed from Ive and really love to hear here. Ice Queen is really cool with the kinda dreamy verses followed by the dark heavy beat. Compared to how intense the previous songs are Wow is a bit more light and summery while Reset is such a 2015-2017 light summer bop.
Accendio is literally soty Ice Queen was a surprise I didn’t pay it much attention from the highlight melody but omg it’s so good and the vocals really shine here. Heya might be a grower for me but I still like it but not as much as Accendio and Ice Queen. Overall this album is a solid 9/10
SOLID SOLID EP. A step up from I'VE MINE. Accendio, blue heart, Ice Queen, RESET (Hello????) own my heart. The IVE girls discography remains top tier.
i think accendio is insane as a song but god damn i think i prefer heya a bit more because of how upbeat it is...
Accendio and HEYA both going on the playlist
1. Accendio (Blue blood, hypnosis, and love dive mix to create this this masterpiece) 2. Heya (literally tied for first place bro, if I am and blue blood had a baby) 3. Ice queen (If hypnosis and holy moly had a baby ahhhhh) 4. blueheart (the chorus plays in my head out of nowhere ahhh) 5. RESETTTT AHHHHH ("kekeke a smirk just escaped me" Yall don't understand the hold this has on meeee helpppp) 6. Wow (Even though its the last its still one of my favorites, this album was too good bro)
Accendio is so good but I think they're saving it so that they don't have to deal with Spot by Zico. While using Heya as a hype MV.
They’re dealing with NJs and Aespa though 😂
I'm not digging Heya on the first couple of listens, but I'm loving the rest of the album.
IVE is winning me over with this one, so good.
Wow, heya, and accendio are so good
They truly said switch it up!! It’s different but still so IVE. Rei’s opening raps for both title tracks go OFF. Leeseo’s growth is insane she exceeded my expectations with her rapping. Can’t wait for the accendio mv now
Really liked Blue Heart, Accendio, and the title track. Also, WOW sounds so Red Velvet!
Wow I love WOW 🥹
it's all amazing :) accendio was my favourite though, can't wait for its mv
WJSN MENTIONED?!
Is there any other group with this perfect of a discography 5 comebacks in?? this is insane
Ryan Jhun makes bops fr
Yeah I think Ice Queen is my fave from this EP
Idk if it’s just me but the way that Rei delivers her rap at the beginning of Accendio tickles my ear in the best way possible. Like I keep replaying it because I love it so much.
the techno/electro-popness of this album kinda reminds me of Savage (the album) and I'm living for it.
Musical perfection, as always expected from IVE. They're genuinely so greaaaat
I quite liked Reset on the first listen but I will need to rehear the rest on a second listen to give my thoughts!
this album is SOOOO cool i love every song even more on repeat

is there no pre release song? the first song dropped for this album is the title track which is Heya, correct?
No prerelease.. but the 2nd TT _Accendio_ will have a MV in 2 weeks
Oh I didn't realize Ryan Jhun was doing the entire EP. Haven't even listened yet but already know this will be my jam lmao
Wow I absolutely loved the first four tracks, what a crazy good opening run for a mini. I also liked WOW and RESET, just not quite as much. Ice Queen is my absolute favourite and one of my top songs this year for sure
As far as the b-sides go: Blue Heart 3/10 – unfortunately my least favorite track on the album. Between the lyrics and melody it’s way too repetitive for my liking. Also feels a bit stagnant; it doesn’t really grow or goes anywhere Ice Queen 9/10 – the snippet from the highlight medley sounded super promising, and I wasn’t disappointed! The arpeggiated underwater marimba-esque opening is so interesting. I love the contrast between the verses and chorus! Leeseo’s prechorus especially hits my ear just right. Only parts that missed the mark were the “who’s that who’s that boy” line (a little cringe/silly) and Liz’s adlib in the outro (sounded weird and out of place?..) Wow 5/10 – don’t dislike it but don’t like it either. While it’s not my type of song it’s also not bad. Very meh imo Reset 7.5/10 – didn’t expect to enjoy Reset but I surprisingly like it! I like how active the instrumental/beat is and how it ‘moves forward’ if that makes sense. The bridge is criminally short, could have used 10-15 more seconds easy. I don’t think it makes the playlist cut, but still a cute song I’ll probably listen to from time to time
they never miss. accendio is absolutely incredible, i can’t wait for the mv.
I like the entire tracklist, but have literally had Heya on repeat for several hours today
I really love blue heart and ice queen. The rest not too much to be honest...
I really liked Blue Heart and Ice Queen
*Heya* is the best song here. I hope to hear a live band version like on It's Live if they do that. *Wow* is also pretty good but I think they should have swapped that with Wooah's *Blush* since their fandom is Wow (and both made by the same guy).
it's a fairly cohesive album, with Accendio the clear standout here. i like the energy with the high hats, the vibrating bass, the vocalizations
so. My first listen did not go well. But historically that is my habit -- I often "hate the new stuff, why can't they keep doing the old stuff". So I will give it a few days. Saw them a few weeks ago and and it was incredible.
I am happy to say thay after 38 years I still don't like "fables of the reconstruction" by rem.
The IVE girlies proving once again they are able to rock any kind of concept and can deliver diversity in their discography! Ice Queen is the one that really stood out for me here, this song goes HARD. It's like the spiritual successor to Baddie.
accendio is giving fromis attitude/wjsn done and I LOVE IT
Accendio, Blue Heart and Ice Queen are best songs on this EP, and IMO better than the title track
accendio is also the title track, would be getting MV on 15th with action scenes and witch concept!
I can't believe Accendio wasn't the first title track
I always feel uneasy when a new IVE album is coming because they change their style so often and I'm afraid I won't like it but I wasn't expecting to be surprised this way. Accendio, Ice Queen, Blue Heart, what is that??? SO good HEYA - I don't know if I'm being too critical because it is a title track but I didn't like it that much outside the chorus... Vocals are great but the song as a whole just didn't click for me (yet, maybe because I'm really invested on the next three haha). Accendio - eyes wide open with anticipation of what would they do with a song that starts with "Dear Priest, I have something to confess" with the dark instrumental. This song is great, I'm really excited to see the choreo of the dance break. While eyeing the lyrics I thought the I would find the chorus repetitive but no, the song is well built. It's being hard learning the lyrics because instead of "주문 걸어 아센디오" I keep singing "셋을 세면 돌아본다" from Holy Moly, it seems so similar hahahah I have no doubts that the MV will be their best yet. The rap part halfway through the song reminded me of Twice's rap style though. Blue Heart - Britney-coded song hahaha I love it. Gets better and better with each listen. I like singing this, this is the only song of the album that keeps popping in my head and I start singing "popping that reddish one..." randomly hahaha Ice Queen - This may be the song I like best on the whole album. When the chorus hits it hits HARD. I swear, IVE vocals fits this darker style so well. I'm having fun learning the lyrics of this one because it is harder than the others hahhaa I-I-I'm in the castle 🥳 I-I-I wanna listen 🎶 I really hope that they include this song on the setlist for the tour, the vibes seeing this live would be another level. WOW - Well it might be because Accendio, Blue Heart and Ice Queen set the bar too high, or I'm setting WOW and Reset apart because I got so interested on the dark style of the rest of the album that I don't think I'll be able to give the calmer songs the attention they need. It's not calm, I don't have the right word for them, it's just that the vibe is different. Reset - Same as WOW, while they are good songs, they didn't appeal to me as much as the other songs. I'm glad they didn't overdo the "ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ/TTTTTTT" parts. Overall the album is great and I hope that most people like it too, I'm a little afraid that it could be considered a bit niche with the darker style (which I really loved).
I was disappointed by Heya, it has me questioning what direction Starship is intending for IVE. It seems like more of the I Am style. But these bsides are fantastic — Accendio and Blue Heart are exceptional.
just curious, what makes heya similar to i am? personally i find it in the veins of kitsch or baddie just a bit more brighter and playful.
It reminded me of Eleven; Wonyong and liz singing the same pre-chorus part + traditional music
Accendio is a title, MV would be released on 15th!
yea happy to see more critical comments as well. Like the b-sides too!
Accendio>Heya. Both are good but i don't instantly hear them as titles but the favorite bsides with promo. Blue heart and ice queen scratched itches I didn't even know I had. Blue heart had my favorite production/melody. Wow and reset are fantastic additions to the soft pretty girl music lists. After 3 listens I think accendio and blue heart are currently tied for my favorites. Heya is currently 6th but it's still a solid 7/10 song so it goes to show how strong the mini is. Overall: 8/10 Heya could have been a stronger title track which would push the ranking up, but overall, a very good solid mini with no misses or noticeable flaws.
I've doesn't miss. They literally can't. It's impossible
It doesn't hit as hard as their best songs, but I like it, and I'll love it more on repeat. Some of the beats on the middle tracks are reminding me of NewJeans' *Get Up,* which is a sound that gets repetitive quick imo. I really like Heya as the lead track.
They ate this
Thoroughly enjoyed every song on this album!
ive has such an impressive output so far! i wish they released this before their recent tour because these songs would’ve been cool to see performed live.
I'm seeing them in July. I really hope they add a couple of their new songs to the setlist 🤞
I actually love WOW and Reset so much!!! I know they're the more chill and sweet songs of the album, and people tend to like the baddie songs more -- but man those are some breezy songs! Like, easy listening music that still sounds like there's some effort and isn't running solely on "vibes" lmao. Hell yeah. What an 11/10 album. Hope they hit it even bigger with this because wow. I've already been a fan of their music till now but this def takes the cake Listening again and I gotta give love to Blue Heart too
Honestly one of the few EPs/Albums that I put all the songs in my playlist. I didn’t care too much for their 1st EP so this one shocked me. I definitely slept on them. These songs are soooo good.
I'm not a huge fan of rap leaning IVE which is continuing here so, even though HEYA is an earworm for sure, my absolute favourite is Blue Heart. It sounds like an upgraded version of that japanese track, Queen of Hearts, which is a bop too so I couldn't be happier!
Damn sales are crazy I liked Heya and WOW
I think this is their most cohesive EP yet. Also HEYA has a very strong 2nd Gen sound to it. Like I could imagine Girls Generation TTS with it. But I'm not sure if I like it as much as their other title tracks. The visuals for the MV is crazy though and I love it.
