On August 20, 2024, PLAVE made its highly anticipated comeback with a new digital single, Pump Up The Volume!, accompanied by an energetic music video. The rock-infused song leans into the rollicking sound often heard in many K-drama OSTs.
Although the lack of live visuals often puts the group at a disadvantage, the retro-esque melody and their soulful vocals in this new track somehow make up for it. In addition, the song starts with a narration from GOT7’s Youngjae, taking listeners on a new voyage to the virtual world of Terra.
With a vibrant summer camping vibe and western-inspired style, this pop-rock song reveals a fresh and captivating charm of the PLAVE members.
