Lena, a vocalist of GWSN, has teamed up with British singer Jack Walton for the single “We Need a Change,” set for release Jan. 18.

GWSN, which stands for Gongwon Sonyeo, is the latest girl group formed by Kiwi Media Group, helmed by star producer Kim Hyung-suk. The seven-piece act debuted in September last year with EP “The Park in the Night Part One.” Singer-songwriter Jack Walton is known for his appearance on Britain’s “The X-Factor.”

“I am honored to take part in a global collaborative campaign that delivers a positive message with many great artists,” said Lena. “We would like to promote GWSN in Korea and overseas through this opportunity.”

The single will be unveiled at 6 p.m. on Jan. 18 via streaming sites, including iTunes, Spotify, YouTube Music, Melon, Bugs Music and Genie.
