Wow, Pentatonix never seizes to amaze me. They are by far the best a cappella group that today's music world has to offer. Although it was their holiday album "That's Christmas To Me" that became the bestseller, only being topped by Sam Smith, Taylor Swift, and the Frozen soundtrack, "PTX, Vol. III" was what was on repeat for me. Every year, I see Pentatonix become more mainstream, and after this latest EP, I see a full album release in their future.
The albums predecessor, Vol. II, may be more consistent, but Vol. III definitely has it's shining moments, whether it be giving Kirstie her first(!) solo on the flawless "Rather Be", or the group belting out their future world tour anthem "On My Way Home". They showcased each group member in a multitude of ways, showing off Avi's bass and even letting Kevin sing!
They made bold choices, like including a cover of the completely in french "Papaoutai", and they also reworked one of my favs, Ariana's "Problem". (Click here for my review on that!) All I can really say is that PTX keeps getting better. Can't wait to see what the next year brings.
