Black Pumas, the psychedelic soul unit by Adrian Quesada and Eric Burton. One of the most shocking new artists to emerge in recent years, releases their highly anticipated second album, "Chronicles of a Diamond." The Grammy-nominated duo, Black Pumas, will release their second album, "Chronicles of a Diamond," on October 27, 2023, via ATO Records. Their self-titled debut album was released in 2019, and Rolling Stone described Black Pumas as "the power of psychedelic soul," while Pitchfork stated, "Burton, with a voice that can easily slip into a slipstream, gives an elegant elasticity to Quesada's tightly layered production. They skillfully avoid the pitfalls that plague intentional retro-soul records, playing for both the heart and the mind, prioritizing intuition over authenticity." NME also lauded them, saying, "It's not hard to see why their appeal is universal. Their sound is a blend of Motown and East Coast hip-hop, and the combination of outstanding production and iconic melodies is stylish and contemporary." With more power, passion, and bold originality than ever before, 'Chronicles of a Diamond' breathes life into the band's unique vision. The album was produced by Adrian Quesada, with six-time Grammy Award winner Shawn Everett (Alabama Shakes, The War on Drugs) primarily handling the mixing. Eric Burton also served as co-producer on the 10-track album, infusing it with his free-spirited musicality. One of the most impactful new artists to emerge in recent years, Black Pumas sold over a million copies of their debut album worldwide, making a significant cultural impact. Their hit single "Colors" is a gold-certified anthem, nominated for Record of the Year at the 63rd Grammy Awards, and has garnered 450 million streams, reaching number one on AAA radio. Burton and Quesada first discovered their chemistry in 2017, when Quesada, exploring the possibility of collaboration, connected with Burton through a mutual friend. Black Pumas' appeal stems from the powerful clash of their contrasting sensibilities. Burton is a self-taught musician who started busking in his hometown of Los Angeles, while Quesada is a Grammy Award winner with a background in the Latin funk orchestra Grupo Fantasma. Their rapid rise to fame has resulted in exhilarating live shows and sold-out tours across North America, South America, and Europe. They have also performed at the Grammy Awards and President Biden's inauguration. In 2020, they received the Emerging Act of the Year award from the Americana Music Association. They were scheduled to perform at Fuji Rock Festival '20, but it was canceled due to the coronavirus. Their appearance at Fuji Rock Festival '22 was also canceled due to artist-related reasons.
