    GLOBAL KOREAN SUPERSTAR G-DRAGON RELEASES ENERGETIC NEW SINGLE “POWER” WITH INDEPENDENT RECORD LABEL EMPIRE

    Global Korean superstar and multi-hyphenate, G-DRAGON, makes his long awaited return with a brand new single, “POWER”, released yesterday with Galaxy Corporation and leading independent record label, EMPIRE. A high energy, infectious K-pop record, the electrifying track showcases G-DRAGON’s undeniable vocals slicing through infectious beats. “”POWER” manifests the essence of music,” says G-DRAGON.
