The group ILLIT released a featuring version of "jellyous" with "Z-generation representative artist" Sophie Powers at 1 p.m. today (1st).
"jellyous" is a track from ILLIT's mini album 3 titled "bomb," released last June, and has received much love for its catchy melody and powerful performance. The featuring version released today has been reborn with a different feel, combining ILLIT's energetic charm with Sophie Powers' chic rap. In addition to singing, Sophie Powers took part in writing the lyrics for the rap part she sang. The enhanced lyrics with her lively and candid storytelling added more enjoyment for listeners.
Belif Lab said, "'jellyous (Feat. Sophie Powers)' is a collaboration beautifully capturing the intersection of ILLIT's distinct musical color and Sophie Powers," and noted, "Please listen to the featuring version, which has a different vibe from the original track."
Sophie Powers is a Canadian singer-songwriter who made an instant impression in March during the American survival program "American Idol 23" with her quirky yet witty musical style. The video has garnered attention on short-form platforms like TikTok, and she has gained popularity among the global Z-generation by releasing several distinctive original songs.
Sophie Powers has previously expressed her admiration for ILLIT. She uploaded a dance challenge video for ILLIT's "Tick-Tack" on her social media account and appeared in web content to sing "Magnetic." ILLIT also participated in a dance challenge for Sophie Powers' new song "move with me" to show their support. The synergy between the two artists, targeting the tastes of the global Z-generation with their trendy sensibilities, is highly anticipated.
Meanwhile, ILLIT will officially debut by releasing their first Japanese single "Toki Yo Tomare" (original title 時よ止まれ) on September 1. They previously attracted attention by announcing a limited edition collaboration with the globally popular characters Care Bears.
