Let’s start by saying this album has no skips. LOVE & FIGHT brings a rock sound to Ravi’s already diverse palette. This drop marks the VIXX member’s second full-length solo album with a total of 11 songs filled with exciting collaborations, including pre-release tracks “VIRUS” with rapper JUSTHIS and “ANI” featuring (G)I-DLE's leader Soyeon that was originally released last December, giving us a total of three music videos for the complete album.

LOVE & FIGHT is literally what the title suggests, a complete narration about love, fights, and fighting for love. Some parts of the story are told more intensely, while some parts are quite sentimental. Similar to the two pre-release tracks, the complete album brings rock into Ravi’s unique sound, giving us a little 2000s nostalgia. 

It’s also very exciting to see him collaborate with this many artists, including the artists signed under Ravi’s label GROOVL1N: nafla, Cold Bay, and Xydo. These features bring both surprising and unique mixes to the table, but they are all complimenting and work together perfectly. That being said, LOVE & FIGHT is a “winner” with all tracks, with no skips on the tracklist. So if you accept one piece of advice from us, go ahead and stream it all and enjoy grooving and rocking your head the whole time.

The title track “WINNER” is one of the several collaborations on the album featuring fellow rapper ASH ISLAND. The overall performance is a nice mix of the two artists’ distinctive styles blending together with rock elements. The intense riffs bring out the frustration of a fight between lovers, where you don’t want to be the winner anymore so you just admit to being at fault, as well as the frustration of apologies and mistakes you have to fight through in probably every love story.

The corresponding music video stars former IZ*ONE member Kang Hyewon, bringing yet another K-Pop artist into the picture. We love seeing how such a big circle is involved in Ravi’s work. The story is also filled with emotions and frustrations that Ravi is trying to run away from—with little success, of course. The video takes place in several spectacular sets which are all tied together by inserts of intense and fun choreography. It’s overall a very colorful and artistic film that deserves every second of your attention.
