K-pop girl gang XG has been making waves worldwide since the release of their third single, “SHOOTING STAR” on January 25. Yesterday XG dropped the new remix version of the track, “LEFT RIGHT REMIXX (FEAT. CIARA X JACKSON WANG // PROD BY JAKOPS)”.
“LEFT RIGHT”, which also dropped in January this year, is XG’s latest release, and his been rising fast in the US, ranking in the Mediabase Top 40 Radio Airplay Chart for nine consecutive weeks. It is the first time that a Japanese female artist and Japanese group have achieved this feat.
On April 17, Jackson Wang took to the stage at Coachella 2023, one of the world’s largest outdoor music festivals. He was joined by a surprise guest, Ciara, and performed for the first time ever on their long awaited remix of XG’s “LEFT RIGHT”.
The original track is in the Hip hop/R&B genre and is characterized by repeating synth loops and trap beats. The vocals for the remix have been newly arranged by R&B queen, Ciara and Jackson Wang, who is fast emerging as a global artist. This new arrangement adds an exciting and diverse appeal to the track.
On April 7, last month, XG released their first remix, “SHOOTING STAR REMIXX (PROD BY JAKOPS)”. Additionally, XG are currently releasing a serialized documentary series, ‘XTRA XTRA’, which captures their five year journey leading up to the girls’ debut.
While the track maintains the original vocals of XG members, the remix adds the charismatic and soft vocals of R&B Queen Ciara and the groovy yet unique vocals of Jackson Wang, who has been gaining recognition as a global artist in recent years. This enhances the song’s diverse appeal and completes its overall sound.
