K-pop XG (Xtraordinary Girls) burst onto the scene with their second single “MASCARA”, topping the iTunes charts in seventeen countries and regions, as well as making it into the Spotify Viral 50 chart in twenty one regions.
Hot on the heels of “MASCARA”, XG’s main vocalist CHISA released a vocal performance on YouTube, covering Tori Kelly’s hit single “Nobody Love”, earning high praise from fans across the globe.
Today, XG’s main vocalist, JURIA released her own solo vocal performance, covering popular Korean artist IU’s hit track, “이름에게 (Dear Name)”, using her uniquely silky, sentimental voice to unleash an emotional performance.
JURIA wrote in detail why she chose IU’s “이름에게 (Dear Name)” for her vocal performance as well as her personal thoughts on the track and said,
“Since this was the first time I’d be unveiling my solo vocal performance to everyone, I wanted to sing “이름에게 (Dear Name)” by IU, an artist I respect deeply. Sticking true to the lyrics, I thought about the people I want to be reunited with just by saying their names, and sang the song by imagining myself as the protagonist of this song. I hope that I was able to convey my love and gratitude to the XG members, my family and all the ALPHAZ who always give XG and myself lots of love and support.”
Fans around the globe are now buzzing with anticipation, speculating whether or not performances from the other members will be released in the following days and weeks. With many videos and performances coming up, it’s best to keep a close eye on XG.
“MASCARA” stands as an anthem for the next generation, emboldened with confidence and compassion. “MASCARA” evokes strength, unity, and the bonds of friendship. The bold defiance in the line, “don’t mess with my mascara” captured the fresh and fearless spirit of XG. Nobody is going to make them cry.
XG is a seven-member HipHop/R&B girls group consisting of JURIN, CHISA, HARVEY, HINATA, JURIA, MAYA and COCONA.
