Starting with a base of pop and soul before adding toppings of rap, reggae and funk, Russian trio Gruppa Pizza clearly have a solid recipe for chart success—they've received several slices of award glory for 2014's On the Planet Earth, their breakthrough second album. Driving the band's smooth sound are the lush vocals of founding member and chief songwriter Sergei Prikazchikov. Thanks to his on-point lyrics, Gruppa Pizza's sensuous songs about love, loss and life throb, at their heart, with the spirit of contemporary R&B.
