‘The ReVe Festival 2022 - Feel My Rhythm’
‘The ReVe Festival 2022 - Feel My Rhythm’ (2022) reopens Red Velvet's festival series with a title track built on Bach's "Air on the G String", set at a ball the group gleefully turns upside down. The mini album drifts from fireworks and time travel to rainbows after rain, a late-night dance alone in the mirror, and a dream too sweet to wake from. The vocabulary mixes spectacle with small feelings: making an entrance, hiccups from surprise, bittersweet days and choices you cannot take back.
