XG reimagine Christmas track ‘WINTER WITHOUT YOU’ with orchestral UK and Europe exclusive

XG is set to drop a special orchestral version of their track ‘WINTER WITHOUT YOU’ exclusively in the UK and Europe on December 13th, 2024.

Arriving just in time for the holiday season, this reimagined take on their 2023 bittersweet R&B Christmas single trades the original’s vocal-driven style for a fully instrumental saxophone-led arrangement, accompanied by a full string ensemble. The orchestration features violins, violas, cellos, and double basses, adding a grand, classical touch to the track’s theme of missing distant loved ones during the festive season.

The release will include 2 tracks:

• ‘WINTER WITHOUT YOU – Orchestra ver.’: with the saxophone leading the melody.
• ‘WINTER WITHOUT YOU – Orchestra ver. (Instrumental)’: a fully orchestral arrangement without a lead melody.

This release caps off a monumental year for XG. Following their debut world tour, The First HOWL, and the release of their 2nd mini album ‘AWE’, the group also became the first Japanese artists to headline STRAWBERRY MUSIC FESTIVAL in Guangzhou, China, performing to a crowd of around 26,000.

Additionally, a teaser for ‘WINTER WITHOUT YOU – Orchestra ver.’ is available on the official XG YouTube channel, while the full tracks will be accessible for streaming and download at midnight in respective time zones.
