Girls' Generation's Taeyeon recently teamed up with British singer Sam Smith, who is marking his 10th anniversary since debut.
Taeyeon joined Sam Smith on a special remix of "I'm Not The Only One," which is featured in the deluxe album In The Lonely Hour 10th Anniversary Edition (Deluxe). The song dropped on August 29th at 6 PM, catching the attention of music fans worldwide.
This collaboration happened when Sam Smith, celebrating his milestone, reached out to Taeyeon with the idea of creating a new version with Korean lyrics.
It was his way of thanking his Korean fans for their support. Sam Smith shared his gratitude, saying, "I'm really grateful to have a versatile performer like Taeyeon participate in this project and deliver such amazing vocals."
Before this, Sam Smith had worked with other big artists from around the world, like Japan’s Utada Hikaru, Spain's Aitana, and Brazilian singer IZA.
Representing Korea, Taeyeon expressed her excitement, saying, "I’m truly delighted to be part of Sam Smith’s 10th-anniversary project. It’s a great honor to share in his musical talent and passion through this collaboration with such a globally renowned artist."
She also added, "It was a new and special experience to sing 'I’m Not The Only One,' a song I’ve always enjoyed, in Korean. I hope this song brings comfort and empathy to many people."
Taeyeon, known for her outstanding vocal skills both as a member of Girls' Generation and as a solo artist, recently wowed fans with her fresh vocal style in the new song "Heaven."
Her title track "To. X" from her fifth mini-album, released last year, still ranks high on major music charts, showing her status as a "trustworthy vocalist." Besides her music, she’s also active in various areas like variety shows, hosting, and OSTs.
