Making dreams come true – PSYCHIC FEVER from EXILE TRIBE
No doubt you've heard viral hit song 'Just Like Dat' (featuring Japanese rapper JP THE WAVY) with its catchy beat and snappy dance all over TikTok earlier this year. Performed by rising J-pop boy band PSYCHIC FEVER from EXILE TRIBE, the seven-member group is on their way to global dominance despite only debuting in 2022. They've since challenged themselves by going out of their comfort zone via cross-national collaborations with Thai artists and cemented their popularity in Southeast Asia. Tapping into their creative talents and strengths, PSYCHIC FEVER have proved that they're a force to be reckoned with. Lifestyle Asia Singapore speaks to the group about their fiery passion, strong rapport, and thoughts on performing live in Singapore for the first time.
