R to V: Red Velvet's 5 most memorable concepts
R&B? Pop? Ballad? You name it! Red Velvet has done it all.
Irene, Seulgi, Wendy, Joy, and Yeri did not only boldly explore various genres for their growing discography since their debut in 2014, but also a handful of concepts that definitely made a mark.
"Red" for their bright, loud and colorful side, and "Velvet" for their elegance and femininity; there's no denying that the multi-awarded South Korean quintet are the personification of versatility.
And every REVELUV will be able to witness it first hand as Red Velvet dominates the stage for their one-night concert at the Mall of Asia Arena, presented by Pulp Live World.
But before the highly-anticipated event, let us take you for a short trip to memory lane with a list of Red Velvet's most remarkable concepts that REVELUVs have grown to love:
1. Birthday
Did someone say a fun and unique birthday? Well, nobody throws birthday celebrations the way Red Velvet does!
Aside from the bop music that makes you want to dance, the music video also showcases eccentricity and unpredictability that viewers can't seem to get enough of, hence the weird creatures and set design that scream avant-garde.
This music video was released in November 2022, a part of Red Velvet's mini album "The ReVe Festival 2022 - Birthday."
2. Feel My Rhythm
Just when you thought of what else Red Velvet can do, comes up with a new concept with a classical touch in "Feel My Rhythm."
With the wise choice of incorporating classic ballet in their choreography plus their angelic vocals that matched with their elegant outfit, the overall idea of the music video is an absolute chef's kiss!
Released in March 2022, this track was included in "The ReVe Festival 2022 - Feel My Rhythm" mini album.
3. Psycho
You have probably heard of the iconic intro of Red Velvet's "Psycho" in every corner of the Internet. And in every hit song comes a visually stunning music video. In this case, it's posh and goth with a tinge of high fashion rolled into one.
Through this sultry song released in 2019 under "The ReVe Festival: Finale" album, Red Velvet absolutely made a complicated heartbreak appear so expensive.
4. Red Flavor
There's just something about "Red Flavor" that shouts summer. Well, most probably because of the tropical vibes that emanate through the music video.
But other than that, what makes it more visually appealing is its popular dance with the presence of what looked like fruits that shows a refreshing splash of colors.
"Red Flavor" was the second-best K-Pop song of the 2010s, released last 2017 under "The Red Summer" mini album.
5. Ice Cream Cake
You scream, we scream for ice cream!
Who would forget Red Velvet's "Ice Cream Cake?" Definitely not us who suddenly craved for some of that cold treat under the despicable heat of the summer.
The concept of the music video is set in a deserted location where these 5 girls brought loud and happy colors through their bubblegum pop style of music—Red Velvet living up to its name, indeed.
"Ice Cream Cake" is one of the first songs Red Velvet released as a quintet in 2015.
It's indisputable that Red Velvet skyrocketed into fame with their wide-range concepts along with their still growing discography.
And at the end of the day, only one question pops into mind: what else has Red Velvet not successfully done?
