BROOKLYN/AMSTERDAM, January 3rd 2025 - XITE kicks off the new year with a brand new Featured artist of the month! Last month, ROSÉ, a member of BLACKPINK, proved her status as a world-class solo artist with the release of her debut album ‘rosie’. Now, we’re putting her in the spotlight as XITE’s Featured artist of the month.
Since 2016, ROSÉ has been a part of BLACKPINK, one of the best-selling girl groups of all time. Six years after the group was formed, she took a major step as a solo artist with the release of her debut single, ‘On The Ground’. ROSÉ immediately made history with the single, which became the highest-charting hit by a Korean solo artist on the Billboard Hot 100. Last year, she broke this record with ‘APT.’, the lead single from her long-awaited debut album, ‘rosie’, which was released last month.
‘rosie’ is a deeply personal album in which ROSÉ not only defines herself as a solo artist but also reflects on her life in her twenties. The album includes several music videos, each showcasing a different aspect of her life. For example, the intense video for ‘toxic till the end’ portrays a love-hate relationship, reflecting on a past romance.
‘toxic till the end’ was the final single and music video released before ROSÉ’s debut album launch. ROSÉ describes it as the song and video that ties everything together. With this music video, ROSÉ is XITE’s Featured artist for January. That means you’ll see her music video, and ROSÉ herself, even more often on XITE!
There’s more! Tune in on XITE Hits at 8PM ET on Saturday, January 25th for the show dedicated to ROSÉ, followed by the iconic music videos from BLACKPINK!
