Coming up on the 25th anniversary of Pokémon, the Pokemon Company International and Universal Music Group are set to release Pokémon 25: The Album. Releasing via Capitol Records on October 15th, the album will boast features from J Balvin, Tierra Whack, Vince Staples, Lil Yachty, and many more. A year long roll out for the company, the 14-track album kicked off the celebration with Post Malone’s “Only Wanna Be with you. A cover of the original 90s hit from Hootie and the Blowfish, Malone set the tone for the roll-out. Katy Perry followed suit with her lead single “Electric” back in May. Songs by Vince Staple, Cyn, Mabel, and Louane have also dropped. As the year starts to close out, the listeners will have to wait for the final few tracks from the compilation album.
For many who have been fans of Pokémon since its creation decades ago, the 25th anniversary is truly something to celebrate. “I’ve always been a huge Pokémon fan and I jumped at the opportunity to be on the album. I love the record I did for it called “Believing” and I hope it inspires fans to chase their dreams”, Lil Yachty speaks on his feature for the album. Of course inspired by the brand, the artists will put a fresh spin on the celebratory project. Ahead of the release, listeners can pre-order the album and unlock six songs that were featured on The Red EP and The Blue EP – both inspired by the 1990s video games. Fans can also keep up with latest for P25 Music on their site at Pokemon.com/25.
