Album Reviews

While their previous albums were distinct representations of one half of their dual concept — The Red serving as their bubbly, pop-centric “red” concept and Perfect Velvet embodying their more mature, R&B “velvet” side — Chill Kill blends the two in a long-awaited album that demonstrates Red Velvet’s versatility and sophistication.

Heaven knows also opens doors for experimentation — at least, as much experimentation that still allows the project to be defined by PinkPantheress’ signature Y2K sound.

It’s a compilation of grungy, guitar-heavy anthems balanced with softer, pop-adjacent confessionals. Every track would fit perfectly in the soundtrack of a 2000s teen movie, particularly in the scene where the misunderstood bad boy finally shows emotion.
