K-pop artist BOL4's new single “Leo,” featuring EXO's vocalist Baekhyun, hits streaming sites today at 6 p.m.
The single is a pre-released track that is part of BOL4's new mini-album “You Diary II,” slated for release on May 13.
The duet with Baekhyun reportedly will show a different musical style to that she has so far explored.
BOL4 has been floating teasers for the new song and its music video, whetting the interest of both artists' fans.
Her agency Shofar Music said the duet will bring out sweet and warm energy through their romantic vocals, just in time for spring.
BOL4 debuted as a duo ― consisting of Ahn Ji-young and Woo Ji-yoon ― in 2016. The group quickly rose to stardom with its unique style of music and vocal, releasing several hit songs including "Galaxy," "Travel" and "Workaholic."
But Woo, the guitarist and backup vocalist, left the group last month after citing concerns about the future of her musical career. Ahn then decided to continue solo under the group's name.
