Red Velvet's first album "Ice Cream Cake" Review

 

Ice Cream Cake: At first, I was disorientated from everything that I had heard. But after listening to it over and over again, I just loved it even more. It kind of has the feel of Red Light and I Got A Boy where it changes keys and atittudes during the course of the song, but it works so well. Definitely a jam. (P.S. Irene's rap gives me life!)


Automatic: This song reminds me a LOT of Be Natural, but it's oddly more sultry. The instrumental and vocals sound so smooth and they blend well. Wendy's and Seulgi's voices work so well in this song and Joy's voice sounds so y and sultry in this. I could go to sleep with this song playing in the background.

Somethin Kinda Crazy: This is a lighthearted song that I can bob my head back and forth to. Nothing really strikes me about the song besides the harmonies in the chorus. It's a song that I would listen to to have my spirits lifted.

Stupid Cupid: At first, the guitar weirded me out because I couldn't feel the beat. Luckily, Seulgi's singing came in and helped me. This is honestly a confusing song. It definitely has a SNSD/f(x) sound to it, with the errieness of f(x) and cuteness to SNSD. I like it. ^_^

Take It Slow: Exactly what the title says, it's a slow jam. The lyrics depict that they guy should take it slow and not rush love. Although it's interesting how it doesn't have a second chorus to lead into the bridge, it makes it more unique. It's chorus is also sing-alongable and it's ending is so sweet it begs me for more.

사탕 (Candy): Okay. I'm a HUGE sap for ballads, so when I first heard this song, I immediately fell in love. It's so soft and sweet, like it's name, and the chorus gives me so many happy feels that I could listen to this any time and feel happier. The vocals make this song complete

Overall, this is a really good album. I could see most of these songs being performed live(*hint hint, SM*). I can definitely hear the whole "mix od SNSD and f(x)" thing. I can't wait to hear them live and to listen to more of what Red Velvet has to offer. Red Velvet, Hwaiting! <3
