The six-track
L O V E EP is the first solo release from Kirstie Maldonado of
Pentatonix. Issued under a stylized version of her given name,
Kirstin, it follows her a cappella group’s 2017 EP PTX, Vol. 4: Classics by a few months, and bandmates Mitch Grassi and Scott Hoying’s debut EP as
Superfruit by a few weeks. Unlike that side project’s jubilant, party-tailored electro-pop,
L O V E is darker, more reflective, and filled with impassioned vocal performances. It landed in the Billboard 200 upon its release. ~ Marcy Donelson
