Celebrate five years of Persona 5 with this new EP release
If there’s one thing fans of Atlus’ RPG series Persona always want, it’s more Persona. Thankfully for them, Arizona-based musician and video game music producer Sean Schafianski is today releasing a five-song EP of Persona 5 songs to celebrate the five-year anniversary of the game’s worldwide launch.
The collection of songs from Shoji Meguro’s soundtrack is titled The Mementos Sessions: Music from Persona 5, and it features around 19 minutes of 1970s-inspired funk arrangements performed by a variety of session players and vocalists. The tracklist is bookended by “Last Surprise” and “Beneath the Mask,” some of the most beloved songs from the game. Schafianski also chose some lesser-known tracks that he felt could use more attention and had the cool album art done by artist Stephanie Sybydlo. You can listen to the entire EP right now on a variety of streaming services, including Apple Music, Spotify, Bandcamp, YouTube, and more.
Any opportunity to enjoy these excellent songs is a treasure, and The Mementos Sessions gives it a fresh spin through the creativity and instruments of independent artists who just really love Persona 5.
