Can't Stop is the fifth Korean mini-album (ninth overall) by the South Korean rock band CNBLUE. It was released on February 24, 2014 with the track "Can't Stop" as the promotional single. This mini album marks a whole turn on CNBLUE's music. Its lead singer, Jung Yonghwa ditches the guitar and plays piano on most of the songs. The style of this album is, as its leader singer stated on an interview, a bit of brit rock meets melodic pop rock and even Latin melodies that can be heard in Diamond Girl.[1]
Reception
In December, 2014, Billboard K-Town included the EP on their list, The 10 Best K-Pop Albums of 2014, at #9, calling the tracks "Can't Stop" and "Like a Child" "some of the most accessible Korean rock tunes to come out of the scene this year," and "Cold Love" a "gritty ballad" and "Diamond Girl" a feisty rock jam.[2]
