I've been a stan since "Be Natural", when I realized they were going to be special, and ever since they're been serving up very special stuff. The first thing that hit me about this song (after the intro) was the crazy bass and how it harmonized with everything in a magical way... 😁

I feel like SMe hit the creativity jackpot with red velvet, the flexibility of their concept makes them an empty canvas that SM can fill with any creatives they have, they can make them into workers from the 60s,femme fatales, highschool girls ki lling each other to ballerinas.

[@taengoonim]

They hit the jackpot having the 5 talented women fit the red velvet concept, the idea wouldn't be possible if they don't have the right tools

[@PutriHaki-k4f]

Their concept and the capability of all the members could have one of the best harmony in KPOP are just *chefs kiss*

[@gls4553]

everything about their music, vocal capabilities, and sm's creativity are because of these 5 talented females making all the elements cohesive.

[@Rere-mg6zk]

It will great if SM give more n more promotion for red velvet

[@vanfangirl2076]

i really think Wendy is the biggest factor why red velvet can have different concept,, since concept is heavily based on what kind of music they will release. wendy really giving the red velvet more ground in both red and velvet concept.

[@oppachannel9609]

I love watching people who focus in every single detail not just the face, hair and outfit of the people in the mv. That's why I really like this channel a lot, I am learning so much from them.

[@eveleein]

Well, the aesthetic are also telling the story, I think the visual complements the song and that makes me want a channel what speak technally about it too.

[@isaaccastro4846]

In this particular case, the aesthetics have a lot to say. The bosco painting its about the garden of eden, the lyrics seem to support that

[@manuelminaunthtoomaung]

Yes, my favorite reaction channel ever!

[@lia701]

It's pretty nice, but at the same time a little disappointing, because I think that the visual experience is something very important in Kpop, especially in Mv's like this that is being told a story.

[@vacationbonerschool]

@@eveleein I don’t think oppachannel has a problem with that… They probably mean more so about people who focus on the superficial elements. Of course the visual and imagery side is important, but a lot of reactions are very surface level and will just say “oh pretty” “that’s creepy” etc etc without diving deep into details.

[@tresespada3]

Ordinary people SM music sounds weird but to people who understand music it's extraordinary, genius, etc

[@zedds6941]

I always notice this when producers or any musicians react to any SM songs, they love it.

[@AdeOso1190]

@kurt I want to say that their groups are not as well known as for example BTS or Blak Pink, I even listened to BTS first but I didn't like them anymore, luckily I found in Super Junior and Exo something new that I liked because it was different now I like them all A As I got to know what the company produced, the point is that in my country if someone knows that one is listening to Kpop, then they assimilate that it is BTS only because they are the most famous.

[@wisuf20]

Totally agree with Kevin. RV’s songs always have been somewhere between attractive melodic aspects and weird absurd harmonic aspects. Some songs like bad boy or psycho were perfect but some were like crazy psychic sounds like they lost their real identity which is that they are ‘songs’. This one def. has the musical core.

[@boydalexa]

I feel like kevin said that mostly because he prefers bubble gum pop music. And fmr melody is quiet easy and familiar to follow, though the instruments is bizarre as always. It's RV anyway. So i totally disagree when only fmr has its music core.

[@taralgasarah]

their real identity is the fact all their songs sound different

What I love about SM Entertainment's girl groups is that their versatility is at the highest level than other kpop groups. They are not afraid to try different concepts hence, they were always willing to come out of their comfort zones to make high quality music. And this song made me stan Red Velvet (was only a casual listener of Red Velvet at first) I hope that it is not too late to stan them and will continue to make good music. I was able to hear them perform Feel My Rhythm live and it was breath-taking.

[@Christine-gu8zt]

When I first heard this song I was so confused prolly bc I felt that the mv is a bit overwhelming. Then they dropped the performance video and I was more confused bc the straight forward visual of the perf vid made me see the song on a different light, which I didn't expect. It's like I finally understand classical and Kpop. 13:53 I just realized that this part prolly explained why I felt confused at my first listen. Like the music and the visual is clashing. But thanks to the performance vid I understood it and FMR immediately rose to my no. 1 fave song in the album

[@ringelgollum]

20:52 Point to discuss: Is it really surprising that Bach's music sounds so good despite its "restrictions"? Or are the "rules" just result of what actually sounds good and emotional, and thus not restrictive at all? I do see that some of Bach's works can be extremely "restrictive" or "constructed" (like Goldberg variations), and they still are full of creativity. So are restrictions really a deterrent of inspiration and emotion? Or do the restrictions just provide a framework in which a composer can design a very inspired piece? Many "rules" in music are, in my opinion, just whatever works well, from form and structure (how boring and uninspired does the idea of a canon sound, the same thing twice, lol?) to harmony. In some way (and to bring it back to the K) even 'Feel My Rhythm' is a product of restrictions imposed by the concept of sampling 'Air', but the restrictions are perhaps one of the reasons this song is so inspired and works so well (in my opinion ;D). So perhaps restrictions might even be a source of inspiration and emotion? Would love to hear anyone's thoughts!

[@popkmacnaf]

Love the point you make here about restrictions. I'm one who thinks that sometimes even more inspired and creative art comes out of restrictions when a breakthrough is achieved within the fixed set of boundaries. It's even more amazing precisely because of the expansion within and beyond the limitations.

[@ringelgollum]

@@popkmacnaf Definitely!

[@leisuresuit10]

Absolutely, the "rules" provide a framework for creativity and enjoyment. Like the many forms of poetry (for example, a haiku).

[@liammcmanus7502]

These are definitely interesting things to discuss! I wouldn’t say that the rules resulted from what “actually sounds good and emotional” though. I feel like that discounts entire genres and periods of music that completely venture outside of these restrictions of “perfect” counterpoint and voice leading (impressionism, neo-classicism, “power chords” in hard rock/metal, most melodic writing in solo marimba and percussion ensemble literature, etc.), all of which have just as much potential to be emotionally impactful and pleasing to listen to. Again, that’s all subjective. People are moved differently by different music of course! I agree that working within set restrictions can be extremely fulfilling and even inspire greater creativity than just throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks. That’s a great point! I think part of what makes Bach work so well in this specific context is the concreteness of the harmonic structure, and how easy it is to run wild with new compositional and production techniques over this framework.

[@ringelgollum]

@@liammcmanus7502 Ooh, hi Liam! I see what you mean, and at no point was I trying to claim that only music following perfect counterpoint can sound great. Listening to Renaissance music, there is a lot of voice leading that seems very questionable to our modern ear, but the music still sounds beautiful and at times wonderfully floaty. However, I still think that 'the rules' result from what sounds good, though maybe I should specify that the rules found in the Baroque period were just one and not the only way of how to sound good, and that the rules arose specifically in a context of polyphonic music and the instruments available at the time. For example, I do actually think that parallel power chords don't sound nearly as cool on a typical harpsichord as they do on a guitar with a ton of overdrive. So a composer trying to write a piece for four independent voices would naturally refrain from the 'forbidden' parallels because voices would mesh and they would just loose tension and, basically, one of the voices. My knowledge of music is quite limited, and my perception of what is important in music might very well be a somewhat one-dimensional product of listening only to western classical, jazz, etc, and even there usually in a bubble of a few composers/artists. I can't claim to have listened to a single piece written for solo marimba (sorry, recommendations are welcome though). [Edit: Just checked out your channel. Source for marimba music found ;D] It would probably be a different question to discuss how 'good' or important certain sets of rules in music are (and for what), or even if there is such a thing as objective quality to music. And that might also lead to quite philosophical and biological questions, like if aliens would understand our music as such or just hear noise etc... Getting existential. xD Well, I hope that made some sense, thank you very much for your thoughts and for your reactions! :)

[@bamboleoingwithrvdiscograp1471]

This is one of the best Redvelvet title songs. It's so experimental yet so pleasing. I really love how they calmly started with Bach's Air On G string and then suddenly hit us with those trap beats. This is insane. I wouldn't say that the chorus is happy. It's so overwhelming like how you are touched when springtime overwhelmed all your senses. It feels so nostalgic and joyful that you might shed some tears. I kind of found this interesting with the bridge. I thought the bridge was over with Seulgi's part but they continued with Joy. Wendy, Yeri, and Seulgi's bridge part felt like some deep, dark struggle leading onto a joyful Joy bridge. This deserved more wins but it's okay as long as there are people who appreciate Redvelvet's essence. Also, they confirmed that there is going to be a trilogy this time. Let's enjoy the future comebacks too.

In terms of mixing classical music and contemporary K-pop, it's quiet interesting to see how K-pop has evolved since I-Yah(1999, by H.O.T.), which you reacted weeks ago.

[@lovelyevermore4072]

I'm not musician, but talking about my experience for first listen it may abit distracted by the Bach's sample when I'm too used to it, even so the whole song is really good and I do like the melody. But after several listens, I'm completely love with the song and the more details I catch through the listen, the more I get amazed by the producer of the song for such genius production, and I have waited until today just to watch this reaction and analysis, and I'm happy for the knowledge gained watching the whole video.

I'm exactly like you. I hated the song when I first heard it. I think the classical music that they sampled doesn't match well with the song. Now, I couldn't even get this song out of my head. And I dare to say that this is the best Red Velvet song ever.

[@lovelyevermore4072]

@@RoyMcAvoy For me it didn't sound weird and I didn't hate it in the first listen because the melody is still gorgeous 😂 It's my brain cells being confused and yet to pick up everything when they just caught the Bach sample mostly in the first listen

Yass I really needed this, i knew the piece was super properly sampled and respected the counterpoints, but your comments always go beyond Edit. So it is a key change, i thought it came back to the Db

Bridge starts prolonging vi of Db (not a complete key change but the harmony/color changes a lot), and then Joy's 2nd half of the bridge goes back to Db as the tonal center, and then the final chorus goes up to Eb! :)
