PTX, Vol. IV - Classics, the fifth extended play album by the a cappella group Pentatonix, was released by RCA Records on April 7, 2017. This EP, a significant release following 2014's PTX, Vol. III also marks a bittersweet moment in the group's history. It is their final release featuring the original bass singer, Avi Kaplan, who left the group in September of that year.
Background[]
This EP is the group's second work after PTXmas that does not include any original material. The album represents a shift from the group's usual sound, which mainly consists of modern pop songs or Christmas music. Instead, it opts to focus on classics from rock, blues, country, and older pop music.
"Jolene", featuring the original artist, Dolly Parton, earned her and Pentatonix a Grammy Award for "Best Country Duo/Group Performance".
