City Park ♫ About To

Today, Amsterdam's "fuzzy R&B" duo share their soothing new EP About To. Counting six versatile though authentic and recognisable songs it's a distinct new chapter for the duo formed by Saux and Sjaak.

Including singles like Matter To Me, Teenage Love and I Believe I'm Ready, the About To EP signifies a new phase for the two. The EP collects different stories about new chapters, challenges and feelings: from twenty-something doubts to life decisions and maturity. All the artworks for the stretch of releases ahead of the EP were made specifically for City Park by Parisian painter Noémie Cedille.

Musically the EP the most versatile and dynamic the duo have ever sounded. That has all to do with the fact that the duo has started to become a band, playing live and radio shows, forcing more depth, liveliness and energy into their songwriting and production.

All recorded in a garden shed in Amsterdam, stand-out tracks like Take Time, Matter To Me and About To showcase that newfound and fresh energy. At the same time, they still sound truly recognisable through Sjaak's falsetto vocals and signature guitar runs and production. If one thing becomes clear on About To, is that City Park are about to become a bigger deal than ever before and ready for the next chapter.

The new EP About To is out on all platforms via Nine And A Half.
