Global music icon and K-Pop superstar G-DRAGON has made a triumphant return with his high-octane new single, POWER. Released through EMPIRE in collaboration with Galaxy Corporation, POWER is more than just a track; it’s a celebration of self-expression, embodying the spirit of music that transcends borders and resonates deeply with fans worldwide. “I express myself through music. This marks the beginning of a new era, and I hope to inspire people who listen to my music,” G-DRAGON shared.
A Collaborative Powerhouse Behind “POWER”
Crafted alongside top industry talents Tommy “TB Hits” Brown, Theron Thomas, and Steven Franks, POWER channels G-DRAGON’s signature style, blending infectious beats with his unmistakable vocals. This track marks his first solo project since the critically acclaimed KWON JI YONG EP, which dominated the Billboard World Albums chart and Japan’s Oricon digital chart in 2017. “G-DRAGON is a cultural force that has laid the foundation for K-Pop’s global dominance,” says Ghazi, EMPIRE’s Founder and CEO. “This partnership reinforces our mission at EMPIRE to work alongside artists who will shape the future of global music.”
POWER is a bold testament to G-DRAGON’s influence across music, fashion, and art. With over 2 billion career streams and collaborations with global names like Diplo, Missy Elliott, and Skrillex, he has become an enduring symbol of innovation.
Beyond Music: A Legacy in Fashion, Art, and Philanthropy
G-DRAGON’s impact extends well beyond music. He has made waves in the fashion world with his streetwear brand PEACEMINUSONE and partnerships with Chanel, Nike, and BMW. Art enthusiasts will also recognize him from ArtNet’s Top 200 Art Collectors list and Frieze Seoul’s Now & Next artist series. This year, he expanded his legacy with JUSPEACE, a charitable foundation dedicated to combating substance abuse in South Korea, and a new perfume collaboration with French perfumer Frédéric Malle.
G-DRAGON’s music, style, and philanthropy have earned him a dedicated following worldwide, with Southeast Asia ranking among his top audience regions. As he readies for more global performances, including a highly anticipated stage at the MAMA Awards in Japan, G-DRAGON’s journey continues to inspire, redefine, and challenge what it means to be an artist today.
