Cris Cap is not slowing down in 2025 — and honestly, thank goodness. His new EP, Bring It Back, feels like cracking open a time capsule stuffed with messy rehearsal rooms, cheap pizza, and that electric teenage belief that music could literally change your entire life. It’s soulful, it’s nostalgic, and it’s got that glow only an artist who truly lived these moments can recreate.
The three-track project — the title track “Bring It Back,” plus fan-favorites “She’s a Mystery” and “Young Gun” — plays like a joyride through youth itself. Cris leans into a soulful pop-rock lane, complete with Rhodes-laced melodies and choruses built to be shouted in cars with the windows down. There’s a steady backbeat driving everything forward, a touch of power-pop energy, and a whole lot of heart.
The EP’s lead single is both the centerpiece and the mission statement. “Bring It Back” is essentially Cris saying, Hey, remember when we had no money but infinite passion? It’s a love letter to basement rehearsals, loud amps, broken cables, and the sweaty camaraderie that made chasing a dream feel like flying. He credits Hudson’s vocals for tapping perfectly into that emotion, unlocking a youthful rawness that makes the whole track feel like a comeback anthem — not just musically, but spiritually.
And that sense of spirit is really what ties the whole EP together. You can hear the kid who fell for Steely Dan and Toto. You can hear the seven-year-old choir singer. You can hear the guy who bought a Fender Rhodes in ’85 and never looked back. Cris Cap writes from the heart, drawing on themes of youth, self-discovery, love, and personal freedom — but always with a wink to the past.
“Bring It Back” isn’t just a project; it’s a reminder that creativity ages, but passion doesn’t. And with his debut album coming in 2026, Cris Cap seems more energized than ever, fusing nostalgia with fresh, modern soul-rock charm.
