Product Description
Contents Introduction PREP, a London-based quartet that draws inspiration from Steely Dan and Bobby Caldwell, blends contemporary R&B, electronica, and pop inspired by the 70s and 80s, while also being heavily influenced by Japanese city pop. Their latest 4-track EP, "Back To You," will be released as a Japan-exclusive CD edition, featuring a smooth PREP-style cover of Harry Styles' hit single "As It Was" as a bonus track! Having gained explosive popularity primarily in Asia, and after releasing several EPs, the London quartet finally released their highly anticipated first full-length album, "PREP," in 2020, and now they have completed their long-awaited new EP. This EP includes five tracks in total: the upbeat "The Kid," their first track produced without live drums; the mellow and laid-back "Speaking Silence"; and the spatially arranged and exquisitely mellow chorus work of "15th Floor," along with the exclusive "Back To You" and a smooth PREP-style cover of Harry Styles' hit single "As It Was." Every track features PREP's signature mellow and smooth sound, instantly recognizable from the first listen. This collection of songs captures the current state of the band, who are currently enjoying explosive popularity in Asia, had successful tours in Japan in 2018 and 2019, and a highly successful US tour this year.
