Blue EP
On Pokémon 25: The Blue EP, GRAMMY®-nominated recording artist ZHU offers up inventive takes on songs created by Vince Staples, Cyn and Mabel for P25 Music, celebrating 25 years of Pokémon. With his remix of Staples’ “Got ‘Em,” ZHU amps up the crackling tension, culminating in a powerful new closing horn passage from Trombone Shorty. See below for track listing.
The EP comes on the heels of the release of Pokémon 25: The Red EP earlier this month – continuing the longstanding tradition of dual releases for the core Pokémon video game series, with each featuring nuanced differences from the other, and paying homage to the original Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue video games.
Red EP
The Red EP won praise from Billboard, which observed, “[in addition to Mabel’s] upbeat electro-pop number ‘Take It Home,’ Red also features the twinkling, synth-driven, cognizant track ‘Got ‘Em’ by Staples and the breezy, feel-good, percussion-heavy anthem ‘Wonderful’ by Cyn.” UPROXX included “Got ‘Em” in its roundup of “All The Best New Music From This Week That You Need To Hear” and The Honey Pop urged, “Let’s train and fill your poke balls with great bangers with Pokémon Red 25.”
