[TV Daily Reporter Han Seo-yul] The group CORTIS is set to contribute to a new project from Sony Pictures Animation. They will sing 'Mention Me,' a song featured in the animation 'GOAT,' which will be released on February 13 at 2 PM. Remarkably, only five months after their debut, CORTIS received an invitation for an OST from a major Hollywood studio, joining renowned artists like Jelly Roll, Bryant Barnes, and Ayra Starr in the lineup. 'GOAT' is anticipated to be one of the year's most exciting offerings in the sports action comedy genre, produced by the team behind 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' and featuring NBA star Stephen Curry as a producer, generating considerable buzz. Additional details about CORTIS’s first OST, 'Mention Me,' will be shared later through the official SNS channels. Interestingly, they will also headline the NBA Crossover Concert Series on February 12 in Los Angeles, making them the first K-pop act to do so.
CORTIS's involvement in an animation OST reflects their recent rise and indicates the significance of their position within popular culture. There is a significant anticipation over how the musical direction of 'GOAT' will blend with CORTIS's unique identity. Their appearance alongside well-known artists underscores their growing skill and recognition within the industry.
This opportunity allows CORTIS to expand into a broader market while likely sparking interest among younger audiences in animation. The hope is that their music will resonate well with both the melodies and narratives of the animation, providing inspiration to a wider audience. Moreover, the connection between animation and OSTs presents a new business model for K-pop artists.
Lastly, with CORTIS set to step into the role of headliner for the NBA concert series in the U.S. on February 12, this new track is expected to positively impact their artist image and expand their fan base. They undeniably have the potential to represent a new generation of K-pop artists in their future endeavors.
