Another delayed SM music video, name a more iconic duo, gg no re.
Waiting for the mv gang
I like that a lil delay on the MV is just an every comeback thing now. It can’t hurt me if it’s always here. Just a little bullet to the foot of every comeback. It builds a tolerance.
I normally hold out for the MV but I’m breaking this one time. Glad I did, too, bc Cosmic is an instant mood raiser. Lush harmony, lots of pop and sparkle, good grove. Although not all-that adventurous and I will say I was surprised by how flat the bridge landed. Really not what I’m used to from RV, but not enough to kill the song by any means.
AND OF COURSE THEY RELEASE THE MV MID ALBUM LISTEN, AFTER MAKING IT SOUND LIKE IT’D BE HOURS AWAY.
Glad to have been given Bubble out of this mess, at least. That’s my baby.
sm would rather die than release a mv on time i guess
Come on SM, you could train a monkey to upload an MV and set a release time. Why is this still happening in 2024?
the mv is delayed again it’s not even funny anymore
i think they forgot about us
edit: decided to take the L and listen to the whole album and i am absolutely floored at how amazing this album is…
absolutely love cosmic, very nice no-skip album 😭
edit2: i coped hard enough and actually watched the mv and the midsommar vibes were so good 😭😭😭
the flower eyes freaked me out like in the movie!! it’s redsommar :’)
Deaths, taxes and SM uploading the MV late. They’ve gotta be doing this on purpose at this point lmao
i’m tired robbie. 10 years in and im still refreshing every few seconds. the future wasnt suppose to be like this.
and smh, now im thinking irene was trying to warn us at the end of the countdown live when she said “the mv is gonna released at 6 right?”.
how long was the Red Flavor delay? i’m having war flashbacks. and im not even gonna consider this being a Monster situation
edit: made breakfast came back still no MV… girl im about to go for a walk before i kms
Is SM’s kink delayed MV releases? lol swear it feels like its happened a lot. At least they’re consistent in that regard.
Okay…well as we wait for the MV, I’ll just say that the title track is fantastic. This is probably my favorite TT since *Queendom*.
Edit: On Track 4 now (still no MV LOL) and I’m really loving the instrumentals on these songs so far. They’re so bright and fun and complement the girls’ voices very well.
Edit 2: *Bubble* just started playing and this is already an instant fave. Their vocals, the groovy instrumental, omg.
Edit 3: SM your downfall cannot come faster. This is easily my favorite release of theirs since the *Queendom* mini. It did NOT deserve those cheap promotional images and a delayed MV release.
I think I never experienced a Red Velvet comeback where the MV was on time…how does the company always mess it up? 🫣
Cosmic has an absolutely insane groove – and that bass
MV delays aside, I’m listening to the album on spotify right now and I am blown away! Three songs in and everything sounds amazing; I love the melancholic summer vibes so much. Cosmic is my favourite TT in a while. It’s a good day to stan Red Velvet. But SM not caring about them makes me so sad… hanging on tight for the MV to drop.
Edit 1: I’m on Bubble now and I stand by it, this EP is amazing. I completely understand why Yeri says Bubble is her favourite!
Edit 2: Right I’ve just listened through and yeah. Wow. Going to listen to the whole thing again, I’m so impressed and proud.
I’m going to tentatively say that my favourite tracks are Cosmic, Last Drop, and Bubble. That being said, this is the kind of EP that I see myself just playing start to finish because it’s that good. SM please… Red Velvet is such a gem; why not at least try to do them justice??
SM botching another release. Cosmic is sensational though
No one commenting the track mostly but cosmic love is amazing 😭 ,my favourite since psycho.
It flows so well and sounds so beautiful,omg
Staying up till 2am only for the mv to be delayed.. I am not going to be a pleasure at work tomorrow
the album is out on spotify at least but this is ridiculous
Last Drop is perfection
bubble is amazing… all the songs are great but bubble’s production and progression plus their voices is just chefs kiss
Don’t know if it’s the lackluster teaser rollout of this comeback but I was fully prepared to be underwhelmed coming in. But this EP is so solid. I’m so obsessed with the 2 synthpop-track punch of Bubble and Night Drive!!
THE FUNKINESS OF COSMIC!! Freaking out when those strings came in! I usually watch the MV first before diving into the album but this delay might have been a good thing for me
HOLD UP 15secs in, why does Sunflower sound familiar
Last Drop I KNEW YOU WOULD BE A FAV! WENDY!!!!!!!! Goosebumps!
We can’t play no game the right way, more like SM can’t run their company the right way! Pls have an 8-bit track video!
One thing about me is that I’m going to love a SUMIN song!
Night Drive the perfect closer and such an apt name because I wanna go on a night drive
Me sitting here emotional because the cake girls put out an excellent EP- HAPPY 10 YEARS!!! 🤨🤔Is the MV out yet?
They have the best make up and styling team in the industry and a bunch of gorgeous vocals and they still can’t give us the Mv on time LOL
Red Velvet have done it again! This mini is giving hot summer night, windows down, driving by the sea imagery. Like the nocturnal sister of The Red Summer. And it has such a quintessential “girl group” sound to me.
Title track is one of their catchiest to date; that chorus line is so infectious. Other faves so far are Last Drop and Bubble. Overall, a top pop release!
1st listen thoughts as I go through.
1. Cosmic – super groovy and feel good. Abba inspired? One of the strongest comebacks from them. (Might be biased since I’m a luvie).
2. Sunflower – I like how they mixed it up with the quick shouting and the slower parts. It really brings you along the song and makes it less boring. Instant add to running playlist.
3. Last drop – they really know how to make songs like this. I do adore it. Sounds really lush which RV is really good at when they harmonize.
4. love arcade – I love playful RV. Playful and creepy at the same time at some parts.
5. Bubble – feels really retro. It feels like glitter rained down in my brain. Bliss. I love harmonization heavy tracks.
6. Night drive – I want to hear this live in an encore. Instant add to my actual night drive playlist. The adlibs here are heavenly. Please I need this live.
10/10 album. I cannot be happier as a luvie!!! Happy 10 years to Red Velvet. It’s such a good album.
i’ve yet to listen to the title track cuz im waiting for the MV but i looove that theyre continuing the trend of delivering sonically cohesive albums since Chill Kill. not a single dud in here theyre all going on my playlist. This might actually be my fave mini of theirs!
Bubble sounds like how the concept photos look. Night Drive is like the perfect sequel to Eyes Locked, Hands Locked. and Love Arcade is soooo cute. The hook’s been stuck in my head since they released the snippet.
