Six60 (EP)
Six60 is the third extended play by New Zealand band Six60. The release was a wide-scale commercial success in New Zealand, debuting at number two on the New Zealand albums chart, and being one of the top-performing releases in New Zealand between 2017 and 2021. Production 

The album was recorded at HQ, the band's newly created studio in Auckland, New Zealand. Release 

The songs from the extended play were released weekly as singles, beginning on 13 October 2017 with "Don't Give It Up" and ending with "Up There" on 17 November, the release date of the EP. After the release of the EP, the band embarked on The New Waves World, a world tour which included dates in Europe, finishing on 17 March 2018 in Whangārei. In 2022, the album was certified six times Platinum, after selling over 90,000 units. Critical reception 

The New Zealand Herald gave Six60 EP four stars out of five. The reviewers felt that the EP was a positive sonic change for the band, distancing themselves from reggae-influenced rock in favour of "pop-soul summer jams", a move that "feels like it's become more natural to them". The reviewers also felt that the influence of Pharrell Williams, who the band had recorded with in the past, was felt on the record due to the songs' minimalism. At the 2018 New Zealand Music Awards, the Six60 EP won the band the Best Group and Highest Selling Album awards, while the single "Don’t Give It Up" won the Highest Selling Single and Radio Airplay Record of the Year awards.
