BTS V AND BING CROSBY “White Christmas (with V of BTS)” RELEASING DECEMBER 6

November 6th, 2024

V of 21st century pop icons BTS and the legendary Bing Crosby announced today the upcoming release of “White Christmas (with V of BTS),” an exciting new duet rendition of Bing Crosby’s beloved 1942 holiday classic.

 

In partnership with the Bing Crosby Estate, Primary Wave Music, and Geffen Records, the duet arrives just in time for the holiday season on December 6. The collaboration is a testament to V’s long-standing admiration for Bing Crosby, expressed through social media posts and content that led to playful exchanges with Bing Crosby’s legacy, sparking excitement and anticipation among ARMY (BTS’ official fandom).

 

The era-bridging collaboration brings together two global icons as V continues an exciting legacy of Bing Crosby’s holiday duets, celebrating 47 years since his last cross-generational collaboration in 1977 with David Bowie.

 

V said, “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.”

 

Mary Crosby, Bing Crosby’s daughter, said, “As a family, we are thrilled to have V and Dad singing together on this ultimate Christmas song. Their voices blend beautifully, capturing the holiday spirit in the best possible way.” Harry Crosby, his son, added, “We are incredibly excited about V joining Dad for the duet of “White Christmas.” We are happy that V will help share the joy of this timeless Christmas song.”

 

With winter drawing near, the duet serves as a heartfelt gift that connects fans and listeners worldwide, enveloping them in the warmth and joy of the season to celebrate the magic of “White Christmas” and the enduring power of music that transcends time.

 

Having garnered notable recognition as a solo artist with his first solo album Layover (2023) and “FRI(END)S,” V is poised to showcase his magnetic presence once again, channeling his distinctive sultry voice and unique style as a soulful vocalist through the upcoming release.

 

The holiday classic is accompanied by exclusive holiday-themed Vinyl, CD, & merchandise.
