V is the fourth and final studio album by Canadian rap rock band Down with Webster. The album was released independently on February 19, 2021.[1] It contained two singles, "Love Is Not Enough" and "Take Us Alive".
After having gone a few years without releasing new music since 2014, Down with Webster announced on June 2, 2017, that the group was going on hiatus and that the members, excluding Martin Seja and Dave Ferris, were forming a new group called Honors.[2] In a 2020 interview with iHeartRadio, lead vocalist Pat Gillett stated, "If the stars align maybe there will be a DWW reunion."[3]
On June 25, 2020, the group resurfaced, releasing a new single titled, "Love Is Not Enough".[4] The band returned without DJ Dave Ferris, who left when the band went on hiatus.[5] "Take Us Alive" was released on July 24, 2020, as the album's second single.[6] They later announced that they would be releasing a new album, which was recorded in 2015. According to the group, "it didn't feel right to release it at the time."[4] The album was officially released on February 19, 2021, with bassist Tyler Armes confirming that this would be the final Down with Webster album.[7]
Luke Wells of Soundigest stated that "Love Is Not Enough", "packs a nostalgic punch of Down with Webster's signature sound, with Armes' lusciously layered synth swaddling Gillett's smooth as butter delivery."[5] He also praised the song "Take Us Alive" that, "brings forth an aura of nostalgia to random summer-esque memories." He also described the track as "80s inspired."[6]
