Korean singer Crush has paid homage to jazz legend Chet Baker by reinterpreting one of his iconic songs.

At midnight on the 9th, the special track 'Everything Happens to Me,' featuring Crush, was released on various music streaming platforms. This track is part of the tribute album 'Chet Baker Re:imagined,' celebrating the 70th anniversary of Chet Baker's seminal work 'Chet Baker Sings.'
