Red Velvet's "The Velvet" Album Review!~~


Hi everyone! Red Velvet has finally comeback with their new album called "The Velvet" and the title track is called "One Of These Nights." Instead of their usual cutesy "red" concepts like "Dumb Dumb" and "Ice Cream Cake," this comeback is a "velvet" concept, which is feminine and soft.

1. Title Track: One of these Nights
Red Velvet had a Disney princess kind of concept for this song. It had a lot of them instruments going on and I actually really enjoy listening to the song. It's an R&B ballad and the feels are better than a Disney movie. It definitely sounds better with earphones/headphones.

2. Cool Hot Sweet Love
This song is a little more upbeat than the title track. Even though it's not my favorite, it's still a really good song.
3. Light Me Up
To be honest, this is my favorite song on the album. The beginning is so beautiful, I want to cry. It makes me feel really happy with the techno sounds and their amazing vocals. This is definitely a song I will listen on repeat.
4. First Time
This song had a beat that reminded me of songs from the early 2000's. It has a very soothing melody that goes so well with their soft voices. It also kind of sounds like a song you would dance to with your crush at a school dance but it also has that sad tune that feels like realizing your love for someone but you know you can never be together.
5. Rose Scent Breeze
This track also had a soft melody but with more piano and instrumentals that sound like they would be played at Disneyland or Everland, actually. It makes me feel like I'm in spring, thinking about my love that I could never confess my feelings to.
6. The rest of the tracks are different versions of the title track and they're also really good.
Overall, I actually love Red Velvet's new album. Although many people are complaining that it's too boring, I don't believe Red Velvet always has to release super upbeat and fun music. Because this album was bomb and I really love the title track. I can't wait for them to perform it live, too. Listen to the song "One Of These Nights!"
