K-pop’s Red Velvet load up their new mini-album Queendom with all of the best and tasty pop ingredients.

Beats Per Minute

Queendom is an exceedingly wonderful project from a group who refuse repeat themselves, and even after seven years of activity, they still enthral and excite with their unpredictability.

The individual songs on the K-pop girl group’s mini-album are perfectly adequate, but the release itself never reaches the group’s former heights.

Had Red Velvet not been away for quite so long, ‘Queendom’ would have been a fine palate cleanser after some of the more out-there sonics of the group’s last album series. But given the period of separation we’ve had from them, it feels a little phoned-in in places and lacking cohesiveness.

Shit got me crying tears of joy (no pun intended). Thank you Red Velvet for saving the world

After several tens of minutes trying to write a review, I'm giving up. I simply cannot write about how good this is and how amazing I am feeling right now. And I realized, you don't tell people how good a cookie tastes, you let them go see for themselves! So just go. Listen to it.

Que o Red Velvet abriu margem para diversas experimentações dentro do K-pop todo mundo já sabe. Assim, porém, entre muitos acertos, era de se esperar que uma hora ou outra algo não tão bom pudesse vir delas, e isso é exatamente o que acontece em Queendom, o primeiro disco lançado pelo grupo desde 2019, quando o então ‘The ReVe Festival’ Finale conquistou um espaço surpreendente no topo das obras que definiram a ... read more

The songs were not bad, but it's not my type of song either. I am impressed though, with their title track Queendom, it sounds great.

Red Velvet is by far the best kpop band to exist. No competition. Fav song - Pose.

Red Velvet's 6th mini-album, Queendom, is a beautiful composition of tracks packed with elegant vocals by the members with some solid production in the background. I like the ideas delivered from the idol group and find the title track to be fantastic. Although it's unfortunate the latter tracks falter in comparison, they're still good nonetheless and I could see myself returning to some of the songs in the near future.
