Ravi Returns with Pop-Rock Track “ANI” Featuring Soyeon

VIXX member Ravi is back with the fun new single “ANI” featuring Soyeon of (G)I-DLE. “ANI” has a sound reminiscent to the pop-rock meets electro sound that reigned supreme in the mid-2010s rock scene, with Ravi’s vocals a slight blend of rapping and singing. Soyeon’s verse is super catchy and ties the upbeat track into a nice little bow.

The music video is just as fun as the track, with Ravi and Soyeon acting out their own virtual reality. It feels like a video game at first, but with the repeated, “I live in animation,” line in the chorus and the translated lyrics referencing several anime (explicitly One Punch Man in Soyeon’s verse, but with implied My Hero Academia and possibly even Mob Psycho 100 references), it’s more likely that the music video shows the two living out their own anime fantasy, complete with a deserted society vibe, gun battles, and an underlying romantic storyline. 

What brings it all together is the actual animation sequence in the last half of the music video. “ANI” is a fun release; the perfect pairing of two incredible artists and a message many can take to heart. Make sure to check out the music video below!
