EP’s Are They Still Important?

Extended Play or not to Extended Play. That is the question

This week we ask the question how important are EPs anyway? Those of you how share the Twitter love with us would have seen we’ve received some mixed responses to this question. With digital music dominating our life’s nowadays and physical music a thing of the past are EPs still relevant?

I personaly like 5-6 tracks or at least 15-20 mins. It gives me enough to take in the mood, vibes, and even sometimes even understand the story that the that the artist / producer is trying to project to the listener. I love EPs

Back in the day an EP was a pre-release to an album or a way of showing off new work an artist or producer had been working on. With the self life of digital music being so short as we constantly search for the next big thing we suspect EPs could become a thing of the past, but to us music lovers, it’s such an important thing to understand an artist’s work.

We love a decent EP, do you? Let us know your thoughts. Join the debate below add your comments or share some social love.
