Vocal sensations Pentatonix have announced plans to release their second album – PTX Volume 2 – November 5th, exclusively on iTunes. The iTunes release will include the group’s cover of Swedish House Mafia hits “Save The World” and “Don’t Worry Child” as an album-only bonus track.
Additionally, iTunes is hosting a presale for the album (starting October 15th), with an immediate download of the band’s version of the Macklemore & Ryan Lewis hit “Can’t Hold Us.” PTX Volume 2 is released by Madison Gate Records.
PTX Volume 2 follows the group’s two 2012 Madison Gate Records Releases – PTX Volume 1 and PTXmas – both debuting on Billboard’s Top 200 and selling more than 100,000 albums to date. The new release will feature 8 brand new tracks, including 3 original songs, 4 covers and a modern twist on the classic “Hit The Road Jack.”
“Pentatonix does it again with PTX Volume 2,” says Madison Gate Records executive Shelly Bunge. “With a collection of covers and original songs, the album showcases exactly why Pentatonix is the number one a cappella recording artist in the country. We couldn’t be happier to be part of this project.”
