Along with earning a career total of seven Grammy Award nominations (including Album Of The Year) and winning praise from leading outlets like Pitchfork and Rolling Stone, singer\/songwriter Eric Burton and guitarist\/producer Adrian Quesada achieved massive success as a live act, touring large theaters all over Europe and North and South America and delivering a transcendent show Burton aptly refers to as “electric church.” As they set to work on their highly awaited sophomore album, the band broadened their palette to include a dazzling expanse of musical forms: heavenly hybrids of soul and symphonic pop, mind-bending excursions into jazz-funk and psychedelia, starry-eyed love songs that feel dropped down from the cosmos. Wilder and weirder and more extravagantly composed than its predecessor, Chronicles of a Diamond arrives as the fullest expression yet of Black Pumas’ frenetic creativity and limitless vision.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn creating the follow-up to one of the most celebrated debuts in recent years, Black Pumas made a point of tuning out any sense of anticipation from the outside world. “I knew the first\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003erecord was good when we finished it, but I had no idea people would respond like they did,” says Quesada. “This time around there was a lot of pressure and expectation that we hadn’t felt before, which was overwhelming at times, but we did our best to tune that out and focus on trusting ourselves like we always have.” As a result, Chronicles of a Diamond wholly echoes an essential intention behind its creation. “More than anything I wanted to make something we’d be thrilled to play live 200 days a year,” says Burton. “I wanted to be able to laugh, cry, bob my head, do the thing: it was all very much a selfish endeavor.” — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/blackpumas.bandcamp.com\/album\/chronicles-of-a-diamond\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBandcamp\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"650\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/641Z6fcF4G5ZbIuCjsi9zo?utm_source=generator\" loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: ATO Records\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Stereo, Clear\u003cbr\u003eReleased: Oct 20, 2023\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Rock, Funk \/ Soul\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Psychedelic, Soul, Vocal, Rhythm \u0026amp; Blues\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Funk \/ Soul\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ATO Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43226772144286,"sku":"5400863146160","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/a2293479882_10.jpg?v=1708533967","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/black-pumas-chronicles-of-a-diamond","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
