\n\tAs revealed in an ethereal, extra-terrestrial album teaser, JURIN, CHISA, HINATA, HARVEY, JURIA, MAYA and COCONA will unveil their debut LP on Jan. 23, 2026. In the clip, a snippet of music plays with the repeating phrase, \u201cEverything you do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAhead of the project, the R&B\/hip-hop septet will also unveil lead single \u201cGALA\u201d on Sept. 19. Described in a release as a \u201chigh-energy, runway-ready anthem driven by futuristic sounds and striking visual imagery,\u201d the track will fuse \u201chard-hitting rap, bilingual flows, driving house rhythms and bold synth textures to create \u2018X GALA,\u2019 a futuristic reimagining of a high-fashion gala through XG\u2019s distinctive lens.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAs longtime fans of the Xtraordinary Girls know, the band\u2019s first album has been a long time coming. After debuting in March 2022 with single \u201cTippy Toes,\u201d the members released mini-album New DNA <\/em>in September 2023, followed by Awe <\/em>in November 2024. <\/p>\n

\n\tOver the past three years, XG has also expanded its global fanbase through live shows and festival stops, performing at Coachella earlier this year before headlining Japanese music fest a-nation in August. Pioneering a new genre of music that they refer to as \u201cX-pop,\u201d the members have maintained their close friendship even as the group\u2019s star has risen.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhat makes us extraordinary is that I feel we are able to break free from all these norms and borders that tend to bind us,\u201d JURIN told Soy Kim for XG\u2019s Billboard<\/a><\/em> cover story in 2023. \u201cBy that same token, there is a bond between us that transcends a lot of types of challenges, and it\u2019s really amazing to have that.\u201d<\/p>\n
