Spice Girls. All Saints. Sugababes. Girls Aloud. Little Mix. If there's any justice we'll be adding another name to this list of top tier, world class British girlbands in the shape of London-based quintet XO, aka Emmy, Shali, Summer, Reanna and Zoe. Not only do they encapsulate the indefinable British spirit that pulsates through all of those bands, but XO also mix it with the on-point choreography of Tate McRae, the gnarly attitude of Katseye, plus the gonzo banger rate of Blackpink. The first taster of what XO have been cooking up since signing with Polydor at the start of 2025 arrives in the shape of six-track debut EP, Fashionably Late. Its lead single, ‘Lovesick’, is the perfect introduction to their unique sound, fusing head knocking electropop, personality-packed vocals and a ricocheting chorus that burrows its way into your brain.
