IRENE & SEULGI Return With “TILT”
Shadowy, sophisticated r&b pop moment.
Red Velvet’s IRENE & SEULGI are officially back to bend sound and silhouette with TILT, their highly-anticipated second mini album via SM Entertainment. Arriving five years after the game-changing Monster, TILT picks up where their eerie elegance left off—only this time, it’s sleeker, braver, and emotionally bolder.
The six-track collection dives headfirst into woozy R&B textures, icy pop inflections, and empowered storytelling that dares to reject the binary. At the heart of the title track, “TILT,” is a message about coexisting in balance—not dominance. Co-produced by Cutfather (Kylie Minogue, TAEYEON), it’s a late-night anthem wrapped in shadowy grooves and crystalline beats. Watch the hypnotic MV [here].
No Skips, Just Statements
IRENE & SEULGI flex their signature contrast—IRENE's refined stillness and SEULGI's kinetic emotion—across every cut. “What’s Your Problem?” featuring JULIE (KISS OF LIFE), throws back to ‘90s sass with razor-sharp confidence. “Irresistible” leans playful but packs lyrical punch. And “Girl Next Door,” a KENZIE x Moonshine gem, redefines the girl-next-door trope with fearless autonomy.
Tracks like “Trampoline” and the atmospheric closer “Heaven” showcase the duo’s ability to create full cinematic worlds within three minutes—layered vocals, emotional textures, and that unmistakable Red Velvet polish.
London, You’re Next
The release builds toward their UK return for SMTOWN Live in London on 28 June at Allianz Twickenham Stadium, where they’ll perform alongside NCT 127, aespa, RIIZE, and more. As SM Entertainment celebrates its 30th anniversary, TILT feels like a future classic in the making—powerful, poised, and unapologetically tilted toward the duo’s unique creative force.
