Red Velvet - Sappy


  • I. Introduction

    Red Velvet released its ninth extended play (EP) and second Japanese release, Sappy, on May 29, 2019.


    II. Background & Release

    The EP featured 6 songs that reflect Red Velvet's unique musical approach: a combination of "red" (primarily bright pop) and "velvet" (more r&b and ballads) songs. Three previously released songs were re-recorded in Japanese ("Peek-a-Boo," "Rookie" and "Power Up") and three new songs were added to the release. The EP's three singles were all released ahead of the EP: "Sappy," a "red" track on January 6, 2019; "Sayonara," a "velvet" track on February 20; and a Japanese version of the "red" track "Power Up" on April 24.
