Loving Baek Yerin's Voice

윤하의 별이 빛나는 밤에 - Baek Ye-rin (15&) - Gravity, 백예린 (피프틴앤드) - 그래비티 20140529

I really love Yerin's cover of Sara Bareilles's Gravity.
It is so heart-felt and her voice is perfect in delivering the song. Don't you agree?

Unbelievably Yerin is only 17 years old and she belongs to a South Korean duo named '15&' along with Park Jimin and  this young Kpop group is signed under JYP Entertainment. Yerin has a distinct R&B singing style and her vocal range is really wide. Although she is young, she can covered many famous singers's hits, and to me, she has nailed it every single time. 

I often feel that Yerin has this Jessie J's feeling in her singing. Well I did managed to find a cover of 'Price Tag' by Yerin! So, does she sound a little like Jessie?

Just wondering if you are in love, as Yerin beautifully sang 'Love' by Keyshia Cole which might make you feel you're a little love sick too. 

You may ask what is 15&? 
15& is a combination of their ages at debut (they both debuted at 15) and the 'and'/ '&' means that they can have success into or what they can do in the future. 

Check out their official debut single titled 'I Dream' :

Last year, they also released 'Somebody':

And this year 2014, they released 'Sugar':

I love the deep lyrics of this song that goes "If goodbye is the answer who gave the question"...

I can't wait for 15&'s new songs and new album.
 In the midst of waiting, here are some covers and songs I definitely want to recommend to you:
