BTS’ V to release posthumous collaboration of White Christmas with Bing Crosby

On December 6, BTS member V will release a new rendition of White Christmas, made in collaboration with the late legendary singer Bing Crosby, who died in 1977.
V, who is known for his distinctive baritone voice, has reinterpreted part of Crosby’s iconic 1942 hit in a fresh take on the seasonal classic, according to BigHit Music.
This project marks Bing Crosby’s first posthumous collaboration in nearly five decades; his last was the memorable 1977 duet of Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy with David Bowie.
Made in partnership with Crosby’s estate, Primary Wave Music, and Geffen Records, the song is anticipated to offer a unique blend of both artists’ styles while honouring Crosby’s timeless legacy.
For V, the project holds personal significance. “I’m so grateful to have had a chance to be featured in a song with my all-time favourite jazz artiste Bing Crosby,” he shared in a statement on November 7.
He also added, “I grew up listening to his song It’s Been A Long, Long Time countless times a day, and I feel incredibly fortunate and honoured to have sung along on White Christmas with the voice of someone I consider an idol.”
The track will release on December 6, 2024.
