XG-THE CORE: Full Album Reaction

If you really want to get into XG vocals, I think winter without you (first take version) is probably the most popular choice by ALPHAZ. The vocal arrangements and harmonies are amazing. I also recommend the it's live version for a live band rendition.

I would love a deep dive on the 3 songs your mentioned, '4 seasons', 'No Good" and "ORB" would be so much fun.

XG (Xtraordinary Genes) Know for unique style of music called Xpop, even though there all Japanese they trained in Korea under the Kpop system because they wanted to challenge themselves. There goal is to be a global group loved by all, that is why they sing mostly in english. They are know for there versatility in singing, rapping and dance. They specialize in killer Harmonies and there variety of throwback type of music hiphop, R&B and pop.

i think hinata sounds so so good in the pop punk genre. i genuinely need more of this style for them for sure

the first thing i thought about with you stopping ‘early’ was the nmixx spinnin on it stage practice. i’m not sure if that what you were thinking of but the stage practices from nmixx are a must. fully live off mic vocals while doing the choreo. its my favorite thing to watch reactors watch because it shows off how incredibly stable anf good their vocals are

Thanks for this reaction! You should check out some of the vocal line stuff too at some point ( particularly the XG Vox series on their youtube, I would say go in order but if you had to choose one it would be Vox #6 - Losing you ) My favorite song on the album is Take My Breath!

XG Guide (Rap-line) and XG Guide (Vocal Line) next time, good reaction

I love ORB too... It's ridiculous but that whole genre is lol pop punk was never serious. Unfortunately the reception to it hasn't been great 😂 I hope they do another punk track though.

Thank you for sharing your reaction to XG's first album with us Tim! I might not be the best resource for XG but, I am a fan of the group, so seeing you react to this group warms my heart. I'd like to mention something that I don't know if you know already but.... Recently, Cocona, the rapper came out as non-binary. I don't think you mentioned gender here but the group would like to be recognized as a mixed gender group now. Cocona specifically asked for American fans and fans who use gendered pronouns that they refer to Cocona with "he/they" pronouns. Their producer Simon (Jakops - pronounced like "Jacobs"), shaved his own head in solidarity with Cocona (who shaved his own head IN A MUSIC VIDEO "Woke Up"). I am so proud of this group for supporting Cocona and his decision to come out publicly. This is just for your reference though. As for the deep dives, I like "No Good," "O.R.B." and "4 seasons" for deep dives. They are all interesting songs and I'd love to learn more about their vocal techniques! If you'd like more songs to check out by them, I recommend "In The Rain," as it has some good harmonies and is just a fantastic showcase of their talent.
