U.S. pop star Amerie and 4minute release new single

Korean-African American pop star Amerie and K-pop idol 4minute released their collaborative single "Heard 'em All" on Thursday.

Universal Music Group said the new song, available online, will also be featured in the special Korean edition of Amerie's latest album "In Love & War."

The two artists as well as Korean boy band Beast rapper Jun-hyung, brought together by a strategic alliance between global record company Universal Music Group and Play Cube, had finished recorded the song early this month.

Amerie is scheduled to make a visit to Korea in March to promote her special edition record.

The U.S. singer, also a songwriter and producer, made her debut in 2002 with her first full-length album "All I Have."

Five-member girl group 4minute made a splash into the Korean music scene with their first mini-album "Hot Issue," also the title of their debut song in 2009.
