Red Velvet Peekaboo

2017 is definitely Red Velvet's year and they capped it off with their strongest title track this year.




What I like about Peekaboo is that it starts to blend the Red and Velvet images of Red Velvet. The Red portrays the energetic side of the group while the Velvet embodies the sexy and mature image. Now with Yeri being of legal age (and showing her melons during Red Flavor), Red Velvet can tap into their Velvet side while still releasing songs such as Peekaboo.

I was worried about Peekaboo at first since this is a Velvet comeback, as Red Velvet's R&B tracks are run-of-the-mill, as opposed to their out-of-left-field Red side that is reminiscent of f(x)'s early days. Peekaboo is also their slowest Red title track, but it does very well with a really catchy chorus and strong verses while keeping the rap lines very minimal.

The girls are extremely hot this comeback,and I thank Buddha for that. As usual, Irene is a wall, but Yeri with her short hair is just amazing. Then there's a fap worthy scene of Joy during the beginning of the MV when she's on the table. Wendy gained back some of the weight she lost during Red Flavor and looks much better for it. Seulgi and her abs are still life.

SNSD's sacrifice wasn't in vain if The Perfect Velvet is the result that we get.
