Venerated American composer-songwriter Irving Berlin’s song “White Christmas,” featured in the 1942 musical movie Holiday Inn, receives a new twist with a duet, featuring vocals by K-pop sensation V and the late legendary American artist Bing Crosby, due out on December 6.

Big Hit Music is seeing this as an “era-bridging” collab, happening 47 years after Crosby’s demise (October 14, 1977). According to a recent Billboard article, V conveyed his gratitude for the opportunity through a statement calling Crosby “my all-time favorite jazz artist.” He said that he’s been avidly consuming Crosby’s songs growing up and feels very grateful to share his voice with his “idol” on a timeless track like “White Christmas.”
