Red Velvet: Concept Queens
-
Kingdom Come
When it comes to RV b-sides, Kingdom Come and Body Talk seem to vie for first place among a lot of Reveluvs.
-
I Just
Not many b-sides get their own MV, but fortunately for us, SM gave us one for “I Just”. The format fits the song perfectly and it feels like you are riding along with the girls on their way to their next engagement.

-
You Better Know
In a poll of Red Velvet concert goers, You Better Know was chosen as the majority’s favorite song to be performed live. It is a seriously motivating piece, with strong vocal performances, lots of harmonies, and and a climatic progression.
