The publication noted tracks such as "Changes" written from the perspective of her future self, and "Jane" which introduces an alter ego, as the standout tracks from the EP. The EP was released via Kamani Records and was accompanied by the music video for "Bond Fission". Entropy was her first solo project, and she received sponsorship from the music label Kamani.

In October 2025, Reble released her single "New Riot", produced by Parimal Shais and guitarist Krishna M Sujith. It was released via the record label Homegrown Music, in collaboration with Atlantic Records.

She performed the single at the first Indian edition of the hip-hop festival, Rolling Loud, which was held in Kharghar on 23 November. She described it as an anthem of rage, chaos, and release, she told, "Riot means saying, 'Fuck it'. It's about letting the anger and the frustration out. Society requires us to be functional and confined within its norms. But sometimes we just need to be human. Sometimes we need to break apart. Riot is my way of saying I've had enough. It's my rebellion against being normal". In November, she was also featured on the EP, Pursuetist House Vol.1, along with fellow indie artists like Dhanji, Sarah Black, Bharg and tricksingh.
