Visionary R&B singer-songwriter UMI releases “wherever u r” – a special new track before the end of the year featuring V of 21st century icons BTS.
“wherever u r” is a heartfelt song in which UMI and V trade verses about loving someone from a distance. Initially written by UMI to express how much she misses her grandmother who lives in Japan, the song took on new depth and complexity when V turned it into a duet. UMI had this to say:
‘wherever u r’ is dedicated to all people with loved ones in different time zones, states, places. It’s a reminder that love is a frequency that can be felt no matter the distance. So, allow yourself to send love. It is always felt – in that random urge to text someone, call them or smile.
Tae and I have been fans of each other for a long time. We recently connected when he shared my song on instagram – and very organically we started chatting about music & life. Eventually we decided to create a song together. With no agenda ~ just for the fun of it. When I found out he was going to the military, the theme of the song started to deepen, and we knew this would be a special song to share with both of our fans. It was all very organic and in the moment. I feel very grateful to have been trusted with this song. It’s truly a gift from our hearts to the world ~ and we are excited for people to enjoy it 🙂
