K-pop Boy Group Winner Give Birth To The ‘Best Line-Up Ever’ As Various Korean Artists Cover Their Newest Title Track
A mysterious photo teaser has been posted on YG Entertainment's official blog with the banner "Winner Pre-Release Covers" on the 20th of January this year. The said picture also bears other details of the long-awaited comeback album such as "Coming Soon" and "1.21-1.31" bringing fans, especially Winner's official fandom Inner Circles, into excitement.
It was further revealed that this cover project was personally planned by YG Entertainment's CEO, Yang Hyun Suk, as revealed in YG Life News. It is supposedly a special pre-promotion measure for Winner's title tracks which will soon be unveiled on February.
The chain of covers, which is also dubbed as the "Birth of Best Line up Ever," highlights the country's best R&B vocalists. YG Entertainment's very own artists Lee Hi and Taeyang of Bigbang have already rendered their own version of Winner's title track "Baby Baby."
Additionally, YG United also shared that Bigbang's leader and main producer G-Dragon also participated in the project by also covering some of Winner's songs.
The boy group is set to return after a year of hiatus with mini-album entitled "E" which starts the group's "EXIT MOVEMENT" comeback project.
The five-member group will drop double title tracks "Baby Baby" and "Sentimental" on Feb. 1. Fans will also be treated to three music videos which reportedly will be released on the same day. One of those music video will include member Nam Taehyun's solo track "I'm Young."
