This special collaboration merges V’s modern style with Crosby’s timeless classic that promises a festive, nostalgic twist to the world’s most-loved holiday tune.
A classic Christmas song like ‘White Christmas‘ never gets old, especially when it’s sung by the legendary Bing Crosby. This legend even successfully holds the Guinness World Records for the world’s best-selling single with over 50 million physical copies worldwide.
BTS V has a tradition of gifting ARMYs Christmas songs every year, whether it’s his own written masterpieces, covers, and now cross-generational remix! Despite currently serving in the Korean military, he, along with the rest of his group, has not slow down from his activities as an artist. April this year, he collaborated with international R&B star, UMI on “wherever u r.”
V leaves a heartfelt remarks in a press release of the collaboration, saying, “I’m so grateful to have had the chance to be featured in a song with my all time favorite jazz artist, Bing Crosby. I grew up listening to his song ‘It’s Been a Long, Long Time’ countless times a day, and I feel incredibly fortunate and honored to have sung along on ‘White Christmas’ with the voice of someone I consider an idol. Being a huge fan of his, I sang with the utmost sincerity and admiration for him, and I hope many people enjoy it as much as I enjoyed singing it. Lastly, I wish a lovely holiday season to everyone listening to the song.”
One fan on X made a post that said, “Normally singers would collab with nowadays top artists but Taehyung (V) would rather go back 50 years back. That’s how unique he is.”. No cap.
In partnership with the Bing Crosby Estate, Primary Wave Music and Geffen Records, V’s special Christmas remix is set to release on Friday, December 6th, available in exclusive holiday-themed CD, Vinyl and merchandise!
It’s inarguably interesting to see V put his spin on such a timeless holiday classic. This ‘Era-Bridging’ remix of ‘White Christmas’ is just what we needed to get into the holiday spirit!
Are you ready to tune it?
