@Peace’s new EP - which was released this morning - has shot straight to #1 on the itunes Top Album charts.

This is the second album to debut at #1 in the last 12 months from the Young, Gifted & Broke camp, with the self-titled Home Brew album (which also features @Peace’s Tom Scott), being the first hip-hop album to debut at #1 in New Zealand since 2003.                 

Girl Songs is a 10 track conceptual EP about a failed relationship and features both Tom Scott and Lui Tuiasau on vocals.

@Peace won over the bloggers with the release of their self-titled debut in 2011, which featured a musical soundscape laid down by Christoph El Truento (Wonderful Noise), Hayden ‘Dandruff’ Dicky and Brandon Haru.

Since 2011, @Peace have been working on their first major release, a conceptual album about space, finality, quantum physics and other things that you probably can't dance to.

Girl Songs is the preview to this craft - veering slightly off the boutique rap track that he normally takes, Tom Scott reveals that listening back to ‘Girl Songs’ is like “listening to my subconscious shout at me from under a pile of suppressed denial”.

What better date to mark the release of a 10 track project about “love and everything that comes with it” than Valentine’s Day?

And with a number one already under their belt, it seems like there’s a lot of love in the air for @Peace.
