“I think V is the right artist to duet with in the song 'White Christmas'”
The legendary Christmas song White Christmas by Bing Crosby will be reborn in a duet with V (BTS) on the 6th. “White Christmas (with V of BTS)” is the beginning of a special relationship between the 21st century POP icon - V (BTS) and Bing Crosby - the music legend.
V has long mentioned Bing Crosby as one of his favorite musicians, in the past he also covered Crosby's famous songs such as It's Been a Long, Long Time and It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas. Crosby's management company - Primary Wave - proactively facilitated this collaboration.
“We have long known that V has a connection with Bing Crosby through our covers,” said Primary Wave. “We believe that V’s warm voice will blend well with Bing Crosby’s. We thought he was the perfect artist to duet on ‘White Christmas.’”
The reason for choosing White Christmas as a duet was: “This is a Christmas song that is loved all over the world, so it was a natural choice to collaborate with V.” Since its release in 1942, the song has been covered by many top singers such as Michael Bublé, Taylor Swift and Katy Perry, but there has never been a duet with Bing Crosby.
Primary Wave emphasized that this is more than just a strategic partnership: “V’s affection for Bing Crosby and his passion for this duet made this project special. The two singers' voices will blend beautifully and V's sincerity will leave a deep impression on music lovers around the world."
White Christmas (Bing Crosby with V of BTS) is V's second musical gift to fans this winter. Every year, V releases winter-inspired songs for his fans. The first gift this year is the digital single Winter Ahead (with PARK HYO SHIN), released on November 29, featuring the jazz style that V loves. White Christmas (with V of BTS) will be released simultaneously worldwide at 2 p.m. on the 6th.
