Star Magic</div>MANILA — The newest name in P-pop has officially arrived. WRIVE, composed of Russu, Asi, Ishiro, Drei and Mathew, made their debut under Star Magic Spotlight on July 17, transforming from “Dream Maker” contestants into full-fledged idols determined to carve out their own mark in the local music scene.So far, they’ve dropped three tracks: &quot;Color Clash&quot; from &quot;Rainbow Rumble,&quot; their latest single &quot;Señorita,&quot; and their debut song &quot;Ooh La La,&quot; a fun collaboration penned by &quot;The Voice&quot; alum Jeremy G. and Star Music’s Alas.WRIVE describes &quot;Ooh La La&quot; as a playful yet sensual tune about escaping with someone special, and it comes with a vibrant, colorful music video.“Sobrang ‘yun ‘yung hindi natin makakalimutan kasi parang first MV din po namin as a group,” Russu shared.“Andito na tayo ‘no? Two years natin inantay ‘to. Tapos gan’to pala, gan’to kakulay, gan’to pala ang feeling. Kumbaga nag-step by the step,” he added.<div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CHU7hPVQyg4?si=e-kNJaeI1eEEAIx-" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>Each member reflected on their unique backgrounds — ranging from boxing and BPO work to backup dancing, acting, and international roots — before coming together through &quot;Dream Maker.&quot;Their shared journey of facing rejections, seizing second chances, and showing perseverance has forged the strong bond they now bring into their music.Musically, WRIVE describes their sound as a blend of Pinoy hip-hop, swag, and playful sexiness, all wrapped up in streetwear-inspired visuals. “Sa pagkakakita ko parang hindi rin talaga natin mase-separate nang 100% ‘yung group natin sa ibang groups. So, parang what makes us unique siguro is ‘yung foundation kung sa’n din tayo nagmula, and ‘yung bond po na meron po kami,” Asi shared.They draw inspiration from artists like Sarah Geronimo and SB19. “Masasabi ko na sumakses ka talaga ‘pag naka-collab mo na si Ms. Sarah G,” Ishiro expressed. They also dream of collaborating with talents such as Gary Valenciano, BINI, Ez Mil, Gloc-9, Zack Tabudlo, and Maki.Looking ahead, WRIVE teased the release of their first full album by the end of 2025, promising fans a “roller coaster of emotions.”“We&#x27;ll make sure na magiging better kami everyday. Every performance, we’ll give our 150%,” Asi said.You can now stream WRIVE’s songs &quot;Ooh La La&quot; and &quot;Señorita&quot; on all digital streaming platforms.
