PIVE is back with his most ambitious work so far, “Dreamer.” It’s a tight, 10-track album that gets its point across in just 31 minutes. If you know PIVE for his honest and fearless storytelling, this record goes even deeper. He lays out his own journey of finding himself, pushing back, and refusing to quit.
Coming after his well-received “I Will Forever Be” series, “Dreamer” feels more like a mission statement than a simple collection of songs. It’s his way of saying that no label or obstacle is going to stop him. The whole album is woven with themes of resilience and empowerment, making it a story that feels both personal to PIVE and relatable to anyone trying to overcome doubt.
The album opens with “Put Em Up,” a track with a huge, cinematic sound that immediately grabs your attention. It’s an unapologetic song about perseverance, about swinging, falling, and getting right back up until you win. The hook is unforgettable, and it’s the perfect rallying cry to start the record.
On “Rock the Flow,” PIVE just lets the bars fly. It feels like a throwback to raw, underground hip-hop but with a modern confidence. It’s both a love letter to his own journey and a clear warning to anyone who doubted him.
Then you get to “Clown,” a surprisingly vulnerable track that gets to the emotional heart of the album. It starts with soft keys and builds with elements of hip-hop, R&B, and even rock. PIVE takes insults like “weirdo” and “clown” and wears them like a badge of honor, turning them into proof of his resilience. His singing on the hook really shows his emotional range.
“Chemistry” switches gears into a slick, club-ready track that’s all about romance and rhythm. It has an intoxicating energy, helped by a great music video with his frequent collaborator, model Romey Fox. This is the kind of banger you want to dance to on the floor with that person you’ve been checking out.
“Real Ones 2” is a heartfelt track about loyalty and true friendship. With its haunting melodies and smooth R&B feel, PIVE celebrates the people who stick by you through everything. It’s an anthem for the bonds that don’t break.
“Make It Count” brings back the hard-hitting energy. PIVE’s flow is effortless over a booming beat, and he sounds completely in his element as he lays out his ambition, making it clear he’s ready to carry his city with him.
The range of sounds on “Dreamer” is impressive, moving from huge anthems to quiet moments and club tracks. What really holds it all together is the raw emotion at its center. You can hear PIVE’s entire journey in these songs, from being doubted to building his own lane as an independent artist. It’s music with a real soul and a clear purpose, leaving you motivated to be yourself and chase your own goals.
“Dreamer” is now streaming on all major platforms. You can also find some stunning videos for the tracks on PIVE’s official YouTube channel. Listen to it right about now, and pass it along to your friends like an evening blunt.
