EP3

EP3 is the third installment in Ringo Starr's series of short-form releases, recorded primarily at his home studio, Rokkabella West. Released in 2022, the project continues his late-career preference for the EP format over the traditional full-length album, allowing for a more focused and immediate creative output. The record features collaborations with longtime associates like Steve Lukather and Linda Perry, ensuring a high level of musicianship and a seamless pop-rock sensibility. Musically, it moves from the anthemic rock of 'World Go Round' to the more experimental, soul-tinged 'Free Your Soul,' which features Dave Koz on saxophone and Jose Antonio Rodriguez on nylon guitar. Critics noted the album's consistent messaging of 'peace and love,' a hallmark of Starr's public persona, and praised the organic, live-feeling production that avoids the sterile pitfalls of many modern home-studio recordings. It stands as a vibrant snapshot of an artist remaining creatively active and relentlessly positive in his ninth decade.
