The eagerly-awaited Grammy-nominated duo’s sophomore studio album ‘Chronicles Of A Diamond’ further reinforces why Black Pumas are such a vital and electrifying force and have such distinctive artistry in the music industry. The album’s explosive yet artfully crafted sound evokes a true transformative sense of joy and discovery.
Lead single ‘More Than A Love Song’ is an effervescent groove that is elevated with bold guitar riffs as well as orchestral strings and otherworldly gospel harmonies is an intimate and candid track that is revelatory and heartfelt
A cross-cultural heavenly palette of starry-eyed soul, psychedelic rock, jazz funk and symphonic pop, ‘Chronicles’ is the most expansive expression yet of Black Pumas’ frenetic creativity and limitless vision to date.
