Jonas Blue feat. IZ*ONE "Rise" single (in English) was released

Back in June 2018, producer Jonas Blue collaborated with Jack & Jack for the release of “Rise”.

And now the producer (who has worked with Liam Payne of One Direction and Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers) has collaborated with global pop group, IZ*ONE for “Rise” which was released on March 8th.

Jonas Blue said, “I am. honored that you can sing to “Rise” which I hear is popular in Japan and it’s wonderful to work with popular group, IZ*ONE. I would be happy if you could tell many people to listen to this “Rise” feat. IZ*ONE.

IZ*ONE released a comment, “We are honored to be able to participate in a song for DJ Jonas Blue with a song that many people have heard worldwide. How do you feel about the song with IZ*ONE’s voice? We worked hard and hope many people will listen to it. IZ*ONE was nervous for the first time in collaboration with an artist in a different musical genre, but I think that the record features a lot of expressions into the song, sticking to details such as pronunciation and emotion. It was a great experience and we learned a lot. We are grateful to have this opportunity”.

The media coverage of the collaboration has been featured on news in Japan, despite no prior teaser of a single coming out, it’s no doubt a single which took WIZ*ONE by surprise.
