Global icon XIN LIU is back — and she’s burning brighter than ever. The singer, dancer, and music producer unleashes Passion, a sleek and powerful three-track EP released today in collaboration with 88rising. Following the artistic depths of her previous album O, this latest project signals a thrilling new chapter: high-energy, immersive, and unapologetically confident.

At its core, Passion is a full-body experience — three distinct sonic worlds that glide effortlessly from dance-floor euphoria to dreamy introspection. The title track, 'Passion', pulses with retro synths and funky undertones, evoking the electric intimacy of late-night glances and first encounters. 'Balancing' lifts listeners into a midsummer high, layered with harmonies and beats that flood the senses with dopamine. And 'Easy' closes the trilogy with soft, breathy vocals and Afrobeat-inflected grooves, like drifting off into a hazy, bittersweet sunset.
The EP builds on a banner year for XIN. From shattering records with her 54-million-selling album Xanadu to becoming the first Chinese female solo artist to perform at Coachella, her ascent is unstoppable. Her single 'Take A Sip' made history on U.S. pop radio, breaking into the Top 40 — another first for a Chinese female solo act.
Beyond music, XIN is a commanding force in fashion and dance. As Dior’s global ambassador and the first female captain on Street Dance of China, she’s redefined what it means to be a multi-hyphenate artist in the modern age. She’s graced the covers of VOGUE, Harper’s Bazaar, GRAZIA, and GQ, fronted campaigns for global brands, and continues to break ground with every move.
