Funky, Soulful. And UP! Black Pumas latest record Chronicles of a Diamond comes out of the traps critically garlanded, and rightly so, and breaks into a long sprint for the tape.
An Austin Texas duo, singer songwriter Eric Burton and guitarist / producer Adrian Quesada are Black Pumas and they know their Soul & R & B. They're righteous without being self-righteous and conscious without being self-conscious. That's enough dumb wordplay from me.
The record speaks for itself . It's aware of its roots and not remotely interested in standing on the spot, Burton has a questing, versatile voice and Quesada provides a slick, shifting backtrack. The record flows like The Mississippi on a breezy day.
You may have heard about or read about thus band and be wondering exactly where they're coming from. Listen to the album It's a record that should be heard and celebrated first and foremost. While dancing.
