7G is the debut studio album by English music producer, singer and PC Music label head A. G. Cook.[5][6][7] It was released through PC Music on 12 August 2020.[8]
The album is 49 tracks long and split into seven discs, each disc being instrument-specific.[9] 7G was not supported by any singles, but a seven-minute long mix previewing one song from each disc for approximately one minute each. In addition to new material, it includes covers of songs by Taylor Swift, Blur, Charli XCX, the Strokes, the Smashing Pumpkins, and more.
Primarily an experimental electronic, pop, and hyperpop album, 7G features elements of many genres including trance, techno, country, metal, grunge rock, punk, IDM, 2-step, drill 'n' bass, and progressive electronic.[1][2][10]
Cook released his second studio album Apple on 18 September 2020, only five weeks later. Apple vs. 7G, a remix album consisting of songs from both Apple and 7G, was released on 28 May 2021.
