I knew that Red Velvet was making a comeback, but I went into this song blind. While I saw a few teaser posters, the name Queendom reminded me of a darker concept. So I was curious where this comeback was going to go.
Queendom turns out to be an upbeat track with a summer vibe. While I love the chorus, I think the second half could be stronger to give the song more originality. It reduces the song to just a typical happy, bubblegum track. But it gets stuck in your head pretty fast. Overall, the highlight for me is Wendy’s high note.
I don’t know what it is, but I also feel like something is missing to really make this song pop. It feels like it relies too heavily on the chorus, making the other parts easily forgettable.
Overall, I like the song. It’s fun, happy, and groovy. I also love the MV colours and the ending outfits. Lastly, I’m glad to see Wendy back with the group and Irene back in the spotlight.
Totally agree there’s just something missing. It’s fun and cute but also needed that final punch in the form of a better chorus honestly.
