Partly set in a wintry, desolate mountain landscape, the visual for ‘Winter Without You’ captures the lonesomeness of the R&B tune’s lyrics. “So now, this ain’t winter without you / No more joy, no laughter / Wish that I could turn it back around / When I’m falling down,” they sing on the chorus.
‘Winter Without You’ follows the release of XG’s first mini-album ‘New DNA’ in September, which was led by the single ‘Puppet Show’. That record was also preceded by pre-release tracks ‘GRL GVNG’, ‘TGIF’ and ‘New Dance’. In a four-star review of ‘New DNA’, NME’s Carmen Chin called it a “menagerie of styles, influences and genres, coated with a cybernetic, bio-surreal sheen.”
Before ‘New DNA’, the group had kicked off their 2023 with the January double-release ‘Shooting Star’ and ‘Left Right’. The former was later remixed by rapper Rico Nasty, and the latter by Ciara and Jackson Wang.
