description Red Velvet - The Red Overview
The Red is Red Velvet's first studio album, released in September 2015 through SM Entertainment. Built around the brighter and more energetic "Red" side of the group's dual concept, it combines dance-pop, electropop, funk, and R&B rather than serving as an equal presentation of both sides. The album is led by "Dumb Dumb" and is intended for listeners who favor dense vocal arrangements, rhythmic hooks, and unconventional pop production.
