Can't Stop (EP)

Can't Stop is the fifth Korean extended play (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 marked a change in CNBLUE's music. Its lead singer, Jung Yong-hwa, ditched the guitar and played piano on most of the songs. The style of this album is, as its lead singer said in an interview, a bit of Brit rock meets melodic pop rock and even Latin melodies that can be heard in "Diamond Girl".^[1]
