"We're (also) preparing a commemorative album that focuses on 'SM music,'" said the label through a press release.
"In this album, SM's representative hit songs will be reinterpreted by senior and junior artists to fit their respective teams' colors, so you'll be able to experience SM's music in a different style."
On Jan. 8, RIIZE became the forerunner of the project after releasing their rendition of TVXQ's R&B hit, "Hug."
Originally released in 2004, the rookie boy group combined trendy sounds, establishing a newtro mood. In this cover, the RIIZE members flaunted their soft, dulcet a cappella vocals, captivating both Cassies (TVXQ fans) and BRIIZEs (RIIZE fandom) alike.
Ahead of the album's release, more of SM's hits will be covered and heard first during the anniversary concert.
Here's the confirmed remake lineup so far:
- TVXQ - Red Velvet's "Psycho"
- Super Junior - Shinhwa's "I Pray 4 U"
- EXO - H.O.T's "Get It Up!"
- Red Velvet - Girls' Generation's "Run Devil Run"
- NCT 127 - Hyun Jinyoung's "You In Vague Memory"
- NCT Dream - EXO's "Love Me Right"
- WayV - SHINee's "Juliette"
- aespa - f(x)'s "Rum Pum Pum Pum"
- RIIZE - TVXQ's "Hug"
- NCT Wish - Super Junior's "Miracle"
More songs will be included in the 30th anniversary album and are yet to be revealed.
