ALL GIRL GROUP XOXO OF GMA MUSIC RELEASES ITS SELF-TITLED DEBUT SINGLE THAT'S A TRIBUTE TO WOMEN

 







XOXO IS a new all-girl group whose four members simply known as Riel, Dani, Lyra, at Mel, were recruited from “The Clash”. They have now released their debut single, also titled “XOXO”, under GMA Music that has all the makings of a big hit. The four girls deliver powerhouse performances and the song has a very positive message about woman empowerment.


 “We want to show them who we really are as performers as well as when we’re not on stage,” says Riel. “We know that we cannot please everyone but we’re not going to stop pursuing our dreams. Kagaya nga po ‘nung sinabi namin sa song ‘no matter what they say, no matter what they do, we’re gonna keep on flying’.” Dani 


that the song carries a message about self love and body positivity. “We want to inspire people who are not feeling good and confident with themselves, those who think that they are not perfect or they don’t fit in sa “standards” ng society. We want to show them that it is okay to be different and each of us has our own kind of beauty.” 


The girls just feel that they cannot perform live now because of the pandemic. "Sobrang na-miss po namin doing shows for a live audience,” says Lyra. “Iba po talaga mag-perform kapag nasa big stage ka, with all the lights and magkakasama kami. Iba 'yung energy na nasa harapan mo lang ang audience."


“Iba kasi yung live dahil bawal magkamali,” says Mel. "Mas exciting kasi kapag nagkamali ka, walang take two so dapat, galingan mo lagi. Iba rin 'yung feeling ng fulfillment after mo mag-perform ng live at natapos mo na, then nakababa ka na ng stage."


The uplifting song is composed by Kiko Salazar and you can now stream it live on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music and other  digital stores worldwide.
