"THIS IS A BIG DEAL": Fans go wild to know aespa's first-ever collaboration with the Grammy-winning artist Jacob Collier
Collier is the only performer from the United Kingdom to win a Grammy for every single one of his first four studio albums. Collier began recording on Djesse, a four-volume, 50-song record with over two dozen singers and groups, in 2018.
DJESSE VOL. 1, the first volume featuring the Metropole Orkest, arrived on shelves in December 2018. The second, DJESSE VOL. 2, was launched in July 2019 and has additional acoustic instrumentation. Collier's compositions of All Night Long (All Night) from DJESSE VOL. 1 and Moon River from DJESSE VOL. 2 earned him Grammy Awards in 2020.
He was the 2021 Grammy Award winner for the song He Won't Hold You from DJESSE VOL. 3. Meanwhile, Collier recorded and orchestrated his debut album, In My Room, for which he won the Grammy Awards for the album's track arrangements of You and I and Flintstones in 2017.
Hence, collaborating with such a distinct artist marks a huge milestone for aespa, which debuted in 2020. Since its debut, the three-year-old female quartet from SM Entertainment has garnered much attention for its accomplishments. Their second EP, Girls, was released in July 2022. It peaked at number three on the US Billboard 200 list and sold 1,850,993 copies.
In May 2023, the group released their third EP, My World, which became the second best-selling album by a K-pop female group with 2.1 million sales. This further solidifies their stature in the music industry, making them one of the most sought-after artists to collaborate with in the international scene.
Now, the news of the My World girl group's collaboration with Collier and Chris Martin has excited fans worldwide. Here are some reactions:
