Can't Stop (EP)

---|---|
Can't Stop is the fifth Korean mini-album (ninth overall) by the South Korean rock band CNBLUE. It was released on February 24, 2014 with the track "Can't Stop" as the promotional single. This mini album marks a whole turn on CNBLUE's music. Its lead singer, Jung Yong-hwa ditches the guitar and plays piano on most of the songs. The style of this album is, as its leader singer stated on an interview, a bit of brit rock meets melodic pop rock and even Latin melodies that can be heard in Diamond Girl.[1]
Reception
In December, 2014, Billboard K-Town included the EP on their list, The 10 Best K-Pop Albums of 2014, at #9, calling the tracks "Can't Stop" and "Like a Child" "some of the most accessible Korean rock tunes to come out of the scene this year," and "Cold Love" a "gritty ballad" and "Diamond Girl" a feisty rock jam.[2]
