The wait for WINNER's comeback is almost over with the group to set to release a new mini album "Exit: E" on Feb 1.
As a special treat, it appears that fans will be getting little tastes of the album courtesy of WINNER's fellow YG Entertainment label mates.
After covers from Lee Hi, Taeyang, and an announcement about G-dragon, the next batch of YG Entertainment artists have revealed covers of WINNER's upcoming single "Sentimental." The first cover comes from Akdong Musician and the second comes from newly signed YG Artist and K-pop Star 4 winner Katie Kim.
Fans can check out the covers of "Sentimental" below.
So far, fans appear to be very pleased with the new style of promotions.
"The covers are so different depending on the artist, so they're not even spoilers. I can't wait until the actual release," said Stephanie Akenga.
"Sentimental" is one of two title tracks that WINNER has planned for their "Exit: E" mini album. The other title track is "Baby Baby," and both songs will receive music videos. YG-Life recently revealed behind-the-scenes photos from the music videos, which depict the boys playing musical instruments and celebrating Seungyoon's birthday.
"Exit: E" is reportedly only one of many releases that WINNER has planned for their "Exit Movement" 2016 project. No release dates have been scheduled for the remaining components, but YG Entertainment President Yang Hyun Suk said that he'd likely be accused of favoring them above other YG groups, after being accused by fans of ignoring them in favor of iKON and Big Bang.
"I would like to say that when WINNER comes back, I will promote them to the point that people will say I favor WINNER," said Yang (via Soompi).
With almost 10 covers, a pre-release single, three video teasers, and an extended release schedule, one could say that Yang is definitely in favor of WINNER at the moment.
