Hip-hop group EPIK HIGH (MITHRA JIN, DJ TUKUTZ, and TABLO) starts up their expansion into the Chinese region.
According to EPIK HIGH’s lable YG Entertainment on the 19 this month, EPIK HIGH releases song “WITH YOU (FOOL)” on China’s QQ Music, Youku, etc. Chinese female singer collaborated with EPIK HIGH for the song.
“WITH YOU” is a remade Chinese version of “FOOL”, which was included in EPIK HIGH’s 2010 album “EPILOGUE”. Singer BUMKEY featured for the chorus of “FOOL” and Bibi Zhou sings the chorus part newly in English in “WITH YOU”.
“WITH YOU” sings about a foolish self, who cannot get closer to a person he/she loves but just waits for the person to look at him/her. Sentimental beat made from EPIK HIGH member TABLO’s tender sensibility and poetic lyrics stand out in the song, and Bibi Zhou’s epicene and unique vocal adds another appeal different from the original version.
Bibi Zhou made her debut in the music scene, as the runner-up of 2005 Super Girl Competition, which was a Chinese audition show. Her album “unlock” released last year enjoyed an explosive popularity, being selected as the best female singer and the most popular female singer by a variety of music charts in China.
According to YG, EPIK HIGH and Bibi Zhou came to know each other at an event held in Shanghai, China, last year.
An YG insider said, “The two were impressed by one another’s performance and promised to collaborate one day. Notably, Bibi Zhou was so much impressed by the song “FOOL” and said that she wanted to sing the song herself. EPIK HIGH also thought that the song would go well with Bibi Zhou’s unique vocal, so in March this year she visited Seoul to record the song with EPIK HIGH”.
