"The Red" is the breakthrough single from the band Chevelle. It is the fifth track and lead single from their major label debut, Wonder What's Next, released in 2002. Former Major League Baseball player Geoff Blum used "The Red" as his intro song when he came up to bat.
The song is about dealing with frustration and anger. Its music video depicts an anger management seminar where vocalist Pete Loeffler ascends a podium and sings the verse lyrics. The video then breaks to Chevelle performing the heavy chorus under red lighting. The agitated seminar participants, which include band members Sam and Joe, begin tossing folding chairs. By the end of the song, it is revealed that the fight happened to be just a dream.
"The Red" is the breakthrough single from the Chicago-based hard rock band Chevelle. The Red may also refer to:
The Red is the first full-length studio album by South Korean girl group Red Velvet. It was released on September 9, 2015 by S.M. Entertainment and distributed by KT Music.
The album concept focuses solely on the group's 'Red' image, which stems from the group's name and concept, where 'Red' shows their vivid and bold image.
S.M. Entertainment announced that Red Velvet will be returning with their first full album in early September. On September 3, a series of image teasers were revealed on the group's official Instagram account, along with the album's ten-song track list. On September 4, the company announced that the full album would be released at midnight on September 9, with "Dumb Dumb" as the title track.
Following the group's concept of promoting with both 'Red' and 'Velvet' images, The Red will focus on their vivid and strong 'Red' image. While talking about the album at a press conference on September 8, the members and the company also hinted at the The Velvet album that will follow The Red, although an S.M. Entertainment representative explained that nothing has been scheduled in particular yet. However, it means that SM has something in mind for the near future when they say "nothing is scheduled yet" or "nothing is scheduled in particular." Moreover, Wendy later confirmed on an interview that the album is "coming after" The Red.
