Black Pumas Return With New Single and Anticipated Sophomore Album!

GRAMMY-nominated duo Black Pumas announce their highly anticipated sophomore effort, ‘Chronicles of a Diamond’, set for release on October 27th on ATO Records. The album is previewed today with “More Than a Love Song,” a single that push their distinctive artistry to soaring new heights. ‘Chronicles of a Diamond’ brings the band’s singular vision to life with more power, passion, and daring originality than ever before. Produced by Adrian Quesada and primarily mixed by six-time Grammy Award winner Shawn Everett (Alabama Shakes, The War on Drugs), the ten-song LP finds Eric Burton taking the role of co-producer and infusing his free-spirited musicality into every track.

Earning an impressive career total of seven Grammy Award nominations (including Album Of The Year) singer/songwriter Eric Burton and guitarist/producer Adrian Quesada once again harness their lighting-in-a-bottle chemistry on “More Than a Love Song.” Co-written by Burton and Quesada, it was produced by Quesada and co-produced by Burton, with additional production by Grammy-winning John Congleton. Explaining the lyrical content, Burton comments, “’More Than a Love Song’ is a message I borrowed from my Uncle Steve. As a songwriter and caregiver, he’d listen to me write songs from afar and if I were lucky he’d have a pointer or two for me. ‘Life is more than a love song.’”
