‘The ReVe Festival’ Finale, Part 1
‘The ReVe Festival’ Finale (2019) closes Red Velvet's year-long festival trilogy and is led by "Psycho", a song about a couple who fight, make up and cannot let go of each other. This first part pairs the new songs with the breezy tracks carried over from Day 2. The vocabulary is about messy feelings: mixed signals, hesitation, awkward mornings, and the last night of a festival you do not want to end.
