"WOKE UP" – A Unique Musical Experience

XG released their fifth single, "WOKE UP," at midnight on the 21st. This song is a bold experiment, entirely composed of rap sections layered over an 808 bass foundation.

The anticipation for "WOKE UP" has been sky-high, thanks in part to a striking teaser from the music video.

The tour doesn’t stop there. XG is set to perform in various Asian cities including Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Singapore, and Taipei. Later in the year, they'll head to North America in October and Europe in November, bringing their dynamic performances to a global audience.
