Hallyu fans have been in a couple of days of rejoicing as soon as the news of a collaboration between Kpop stars Jessi and Sunmi and pop singer Ed Sheeran. The British singer-songwriter has been confirmed to be participating in a much-anticipated collaboration track titled “Shivers” with Jessi and Sunmi.
This amazing collaboration has also further heightened the expectations when the stars involved shared the news and excitement on their respective social media accounts.
“Shivers” is actually the title track of Ed Sheeran’s 4th full album released in October which immediately topped the Billboard Album Charts. The song of Ed Sheeran will be presented in a new version which is expected to add a swag flair from Jessi’s unique tone and Sunmi’s attractive vocals.
In particular, an official from Warner Music Korea commented, “We worked really hard to showcase a different charm while presenting a perfect harmony between Ed Sheeran, Jessi, and Sunmi. Please show this collaboration a lot of interest and love.”
Jessi, Sunmi, and Ed Sheeran’s special collaboration track “Shivers” is scheduled for release on November 24 at 6:00 PM KST.
Ed Sheeran has become one of the globally adored pop singers of the generation and has been continuing to be a symbol of times with his multiple hits and million-selling albums. The singer has been selling more than 45 million albums and 150 million singles worldwide which proves just how much popular he is and his amazing tracks.
If this ain’t enough, Ed Sheeran made history as a solo artist, winning GQ’s Solo Artist of the Year in 2021 and reigning supreme for 52 weeks on the official UK Single Charts.
Jessi has also had her fame not just in South Korea but internationally. The Korean-American rapper originally debuted in 2005 and was a temporary member of the hip-hop group Uptown in 2006. Jessi came on a hiatus until she came back as a member of a trio called Lucky J which eventually disbanded in 2016.
As soon as her contract with YMC Entertainment ended, she moved to PSY’s label, P Nation in 2019 as the first signed artist. Right at that moment, Jessi received countless love calls and her career continued to be successful, with five Top 10 entries in the Gaon Digital Chart, including her highest-charting solo track “Nunu Nana.”
On the other hand, Sunmi debuted in 2007 with the JYP Entertainment girl group Wonder Girls. She left the group in 2010 to pursue an academic career for three years. In 2013, Sunmi returned as a soloist with the first EP Full Moon which spawned the number two songs “24 Hours” and “Full Moon” on the national Gaon Digital Chart.
Currently, Sunmi has made her own name in the Kpop industry and has created her own musical style called “Sunmi-pop” which refers to her core influences of retro, pop, and disco.
Meanwhile, Ed Sheeran has also been confirmed to be performing at the 2021 MAMA which is set to be held on December 11 at 6:00 PM KST.
