Oh, I thought it'd be a repackage album or something but ... a new album? Interesting.

They mentioned during the release of Zimbalabim that the ReVe Festival thing would be an album trilogy (a la SHINee's Misconceptions I assumed), so I'm glad for an entirely new album rather than just a repackage. Can't wait, would like some proper RnB stuff from them again though.

Wow this seems quick. I haven’t been in love with a lead single of theirs for a long time so I’m tentatively excited for this.

Oops,sorry, this wasnt meant to be a reply

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

My understanding is that they're doing like SHINee's The Story of Light. I'm really looking forward to new songs - Zimzalabim hasn't grown on me but I'm still replaying every b-side on that mini-album, it's super solid.

the b-sides are ridiculously good

Yas cant wait for 'really really really bad boy'

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

i just sang this to the tune of spice girls' wannabe and got confused lol

[torontok.livejournal.com]

Thank god, I want to forget ZZB happened

[snowphone.livejournal.com]

holy shit ladies

[921227.livejournal.com]

Good for them! I didn't pay any attention to this last comeback so hopefully this one is better

[daceymormont.livejournal.com]

Can they release a good title this time please

[krissasaur]

I remain the only person who thinks Zimzalabim is the best kpop song in like 3 years lmao.

[spread.livejournal.com]

I'm actually shook by how quickly I turned around on ZZB, even faster than I did with Power Up.
I thought RV finally released a bad title track for me, but nope.
Don't know what it is about these girls and their music, but they just have a way some making like their songs regardless.

[krissasaur]

I didn't really like their songs after Russian Roulette, and I wasn't sure about Zimzalabim at first, but the moment the beat dropped I knew I was hooked haha.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

the best kpop song in like 3 years

i love your humor

[krissasaur]

Kpop has been a snooze lately. My favorite era is 2008-2012. Zimzalabim fits right into that era.

[xlovexlessxtyx.livejournal.com]

same.
It grew on me and now it’s easily my favorite release of 2019.

[dior-chic.livejournal.com]

Oh they’re really doing a trilogy? I didn’t take that seriously lol

I enjoyed ZZB a lot, but it felt like it didn’t make a lasting impression?? I feel like RV needs a title to really wow casual fans as I feel like I’ve seen plenty of people comment how they haven’t liked anything RV releases since 2017, and while I enjoy most of RV’s music I can’t blame them for that opinion.

But I’m excited! (I hope I like the b sides this time around, I wasn’t into their last mini besides LP)

[ggumd.livejournal.com]

since 2017

like i understand not liking the lead singles since then but if people are saying even their B-sides havent been good since then, then that is pure BS lol

Some of their B-sides like So Good, Butterflies, kingdom come etc. are legit better than most groups title tracks

[dior-chic.livejournal.com]

I don’t think a lot of those people care too much about bsides tbh

But yes So Good and Kingdom Come are like S- tier amazing if they were to be ranked

[sweetestbliss1.livejournal.com]

Casual fan here and I haven't really been into their last few title tracks since Bad Boy. I need another jam like that! Or Red Flavor.

[dior-chic.livejournal.com]

Haha your comment is exactly what I mean, a lot of casual fans I see voicing that opinion on RV! Maybe SM should consider that

[rosiemotleymind.livejournal.com]

I’m hoping I like it more than their last title track. The b-sides are consistently good so there’s that to look forward to.

[myungung.livejournal.com]

song of the summer incoming (please not be like Zimzalabim or Rookie or RBB)

[theweebdream.livejournal.com]

Echoing the comments that that was quick. ZZB actually grew on me but agree with other poster that it didn’t stick. Another proper summer song like Red Flavor would be nice but I feel like it’s too late into the summer to release a summer bop tbh.

[juhli.livejournal.com]

Summer Red Velvet! Looking forward to it :D

[avrgaesthetics.livejournal.com]

if they stay true to what they've been doing, it's going to be something totally different from anything they've done before, and for that I really respect rv and their versatility. zzb sounded like a hot ass mess to me at first but now i absolutely love the song, and the energy they bring with the live stages (yas, i'm looking at you joy). and the album was fantastic. sign me tf up for an album series! it's what they deserve tbh. also i'm realizing if the general audience doesn't like a title, it's usually one i love asjkasaljadj

[frequency.livejournal.com]

well that was fast. i knew "reve festival" was gonna be more than 1 part but i didn't think they'd be this close together as far as release dates went. i hope the title is better than "zimzalabim" was tho.

[cosmicdaze.livejournal.com]

i did not care for the rbb or zzb minis at all so hopefully i’ll like this new one but i have low hopes tbh

[croox-shielle.livejournal.com]

So soon? Oh. After I saw them not releasing new music in the earliest months I thought this year they'd slow down and have just 2 comebacks this year, but after knowing the reve festival it's a trilogy and by how fast they are coming back for the 2nd part, I'd say it's more probable that they'll have 3 comebacks again this year.

As much as I like their music, I want them to get more rest. Honestly, in general, idk why are comebacks so hectic?? Like, filming a music video in 1 or 2 days, very often w/o a good night of sleep; and the same goes to learning choreo.

://

Anyway, I hope the music/concept leans more towards their velvet side and/or whatever they release gets really popular.

[croox-shielle.livejournal.com]

Oh, you have a point there. That's why I said that I hoped for their new song to get really popular - so maybe they wouldnt be as sidelined, but like, they did it to GG so 😢

[friedchickeneu.livejournal.com]

i really hope their title is so much better this time around since they deserve it. :(

[croox-shielle.livejournal.com]

Gosh, they do. Especially because casual listeners only listen to the title songs and not the b-sides, and those are so good! So at least they don't go around saying/thinking RV music is bad :/.

[aeries-amethyst.livejournal.com]

i kinda low key forgot ZZB existed lmao XD the last title track i really liked from them was BB, so i'm gonna need them to slide back into the velvet lane and wow me with something smooth and suave. actually, if they give me something like RF, RR or DD, i think i'd be hyped af cuz those are my fave red tracks.

[springsky.livejournal.com]

ZZB was basura so I’m anticipating this

[yxerin.livejournal.com]

even though zzb wasn't as bad as i initially thought i would still prefer to forget abt it lmao i need another bad boy-tier title
