Check This Out: Notable K-pop Collaborations With American Artists
A collaboration has been a part of the music genre for a long time, but with some of the unlikely featured artists that can make the most memorable songs, fans have heard over the radio.
Here are some notable collaborations from K-pop artist with American singers:
Dua Lipa Ft. BLACKPINK – 'Kiss & Make Up'
As the title entails, "Kiss & Make Up" is a song about making up with someone who you have strong feelings for. In the track, fans can hear Dua Lipa's powerful vocals and BLACKPINK's unique vocal range, and the high tempo beat, making the collaboration successful.
Jason Derulo Ft. NCT 127, Lay – 'Let's Shut Up & Dance'
"Let's Shut Up & Dance" possess a jolly and lively vibe that tells the listener just to let loose and have fun. The song is catchy on its own, but the music video adds another flavor to it as Jason Derulo, Jay, and NCT127 deliver an impressive performance in terms of choreography.
BTS Ft. Hasley – 'Boy With Luv'
"Boy with Luv" is about a boy getting to know the girl he likes more intensely in the times they are together. The track is mostly sung in Korean with Halsey singing in English in the chorus of the song.
Ellie Goulding, Diplo & Red Velvet – 'Close To Me'
'Close to Me' can be interpreted as wanting to be both physically and emotionally entwined with the one you love. The original version of the song is catchy itself, but with the inclusion of Red Velvet, the track can be appreciated more.
Lady Gaga & BLACKPINK – 'Sour Candy'
The idea about "Sour Candy" is the title itself, hard on the outside, but chewy inside. The person you may like may have a "poker face" exterior, but once you get to him or her, he or she may have a soft spot for you after all.
Monsta X Ft. French Montana – 'Who Do You Love'
This collaboration by Monsta X and DJ French Montana will give the listeners the feeling of doubt. The song's premise is about a girl who can make up her mind of who she will pick between her two lovers.
Monsta X's parts are more theatrical in this track, while French Montana gives the beat.
PSY Ft. Snoop Dogg – 'Hangover'
The most unlikely duo on the list who surprisingly works well is PSY and Snoop Dogg. The two flaunted a light-hearted collaboration, talking about the consequences of too much alcohol. With Snoop Dogg's lyrical lines and PSY's silly performance, "Hangover" has 344 million views on Youtube.
