British Band PREP have teamed up with Monsta X’s Shownu and Korean indie artist So!YoOn! of Se So Neon in their latest track. It is the band’s first time working with either artist.
‘Don’t Look Back’ is a fusion of jazz and R&B which preceded the band’s upcoming EP, Line by Line. The song contains So!YoOn!’s backing vocals and guitar, and also features a verse from Shownu in English. Check it out the track on Spotify now!
According to a Billboard exclusive, the collaboration came about thanks to the power of Monbebes (Monsta X’s fan base), after Shownu recommended some of the band’s songs. The Monsta X leader also sought out the band himself so they could work together.
