Seoul-based band HYUKOH and Taipei-based band Sunset Rollercoaster have joined forces for the collaborative album 'AAA', which is out now via DOOROODOOROO ARTIST COMPANY and Sunset Music Productions Co. Ltd.

GLUE MV

A casual chat in 2020 seemingly foretold the collaboration between the Seoul-based and Taipei-based bands. It led to musical collaborations like Sunset Rollercoaster’s remake version of “Help” from HYUKOH’s album, 'through love', and OHHYUK’s feature on the Sunset Rollercoaster track “Candlelight” from their album, 'Soft Storm'. When Sunset Rollercoaster visited Seoul for a headline show in March 2023, the audience spotted HYUKOH members at the show, which took the anticipation of a collaboration of the two bands to another level. After they discovered their chemistry in the studio, the two bands decided to create a full-length project together, the result being 'AAA'.

The global girl group XG has just unveiled exciting news on their social media: their new single "SOMETHING AIN’T RIGHT," the first pre-release track from their highly anticipated 2nd mini album, is set to drop on July 26 (Friday). The new mini album is scheduled for release in late 2024, and promises to bring a fresh, retro style inspired by the 90s.

"SOMETHING AIN’T RIGHT" is a captivating retro-style track that incorporates garage rhythms and addictive refrains, each highlighting the individuality of XG's seven members. The song's minimalistic approach is enriched with a variety of hidden sounds, creating a unique listening experience. Produced by JAKOPS (SIMON JUNHO PARK), the head and general producer of XGALX, the track combines an up-tempo 90s vibe with XG's vivid originality, resulting in "music that makes everyone want to dance, regardless of age or gender."

The cover photo for "SOMETHING AIN’T RIGHT" marks a departure from XG's previous work, "WOKE UP," featuring a colorful pop design that showcases the individuality of each member and the group's distinctive abilities.

Currently, XG is on their first world tour, "The First HOWL," with overseas performances kicking off on July 11th in Seoul. The tour aims to thrill ALPHAZ worldwide and build further anticipation for their upcoming releases.

As excitement builds for XG's 2nd mini album and the new single "SOMETHING AIN’T RIGHT," fans around the globe eagerly await the next chapter in XG's electrifying journey.
