Royal Pirates - 3rd EP Album [3.3] Introduction & Track List
ROYAL PIRATES’ 3RD EP ALBUM “3.3″ - INTRODUCTION
RP’s third EP [3.3] is a historical milestone in their musical career.
The Royal Pirates are coming back with their third EP [3.3] after a long time, and with it holds the meaning of being re-born as a band. In the process of making this third album, the Royal Pirates have faced the pain of creation, inner conflict and change, and more than anything else- bassist James’ sudden accident caused them to face an uncertain future with fear and uneasiness. Even so, in the face of this tragedy they were able to unleash the latent music they had inside them without hesitation, and mature by bounds to create an even more meaningful album to show people, which is [3.3].
Coming back with a whole new sound, the Royal Pirates third album [3.3] has a rock base and includes various other genres as well. On this third album, they are working together with a world renowned top producer in America and even China, former member and producer of legendary group SOLID, Jae Chong for a re-branding. With an edgy upbeat and refined melody, this album perfectly encompasses a new sound featuring electro, dance, retro dance, hard rock, and various other genres to bring you six songs with a whole new charm.
The title track “Run Away” is a song that expresses the changes RP has gone through as musicians in a band. After becoming victim to sudden tragedy, the band has come back with a new formation that is completed with the fresh and new sounds of ROCK and EDM. They’ve made a strong sound by incorporating Break Beat into this modern rock by enlisting the help of DJ Schedule1′s unique scratch and Enik’s (IAMMEDIC) featuring to make music that is even more powerful and has more of an impact and performance.
“Run Away” holds a positive message of overcoming difficulties through expression of the hard reality that the RP members have very much lived through.
In addition, their second title song “Too Fast” features a fusion of retro tunes and modern tracks to bring the 80′s into 2015, and perfectly illustrates RP’s transition.

Though leading with the double title tracks of “Run Away” and “Too Fast” each track has an addictive quality, with a strong melody and high energy and we anticipate that [3.3] will be a sensation all across the world.

Did you watch the Asia Music Network live broadcast that was made available through the V-App last week?
Since it’s the first time in a while that RP has been on stage, and since James was even in attendance, we think it was an even more momentous occasion to have waited for.
The AMN lived up to everyone’s expectations. Team RP will now show you RP at the photo wall, on-stage, and even backstage!
