Info for Chronicles of a Diamond

Das nicht minder großartige Nachfolgealbum des den Status Quo von Soul 2019 eindrucksvoll definierenden gleichnamigen Debutalbums des Duos aus Austin könnte wiederum zum Flächenbrand ausarten. Es ist nicht nur die unglaubliche Stimmpräsenz von Eric Burton, die das 2te Album auszeichnet, sondern auch die fantastischen Arrangements, die Burton zusammen mit Adrian Quesada entworfen hat, ziehen massiv in den Bann mittels gezupfter und verzerrt oder unverzerrt geschlagener Gitarrenläufe, dem fantastischen Chord-Flow einer Retro-Orgel, dem brillianten psychedelischen Funk-Bass und exquisit groovenden Drums, die dem ganzen unwiderstehliches Jazz-Funk-Appeal verpassen, dazu gesellen sich Einschübe von Bläsern, Streichern oder eines Gospelchors. Und immer wieder integrieren sie gekonnt genrefremde Elemente als Würzpaste. Die Energie, die die beiden live erzeugen, fängt das Album exzellent ein. Immer wieder Überraschungen in Gestalt von Breaks oder verrückter Bögen wie z.B. bei "Ice Cream (Pay Phone)". Das Album besitzt sowohl hypnotische Energie als auch psychedelische Freigeistigkeit sowie retroesken Soul-Verve und versprüht Freiheitsgefühl. Ein Album zum Umarmen.

Black Pumas

Black Pumas
One of the most electrifying new acts to emerge in recent years, Black Pumas first brought their unbridled breed of psychedelic soul to their 2019 self-titled debut—a widely acclaimed LP whose deluxe edition landed a Grammy Award nomination for Album of the Year. With seven Grammy nominations now under their belt, the Austin-bred duo have made a major cultural impact with smash singles like “Colors”: a gold-certified anthem that’s amassed over 450 million streams, in addition to hitting No. 1 at AAA Radio and earning Grammy nominations for Record of the Year and Best American Roots Performance. Known for their exhilarating live show (as shown on multiple sold-out tours across North and South America and Europe), singer/songwriter Eric Burton and guitarist/producer Adrian Quesada first discovered their once-in-a-lifetime chemistry back in 2017, after Quesada began searching for a potential collaborator and connected with Burton through a mutual friend. Thanks to the potent collision of their distinct sensibilities—Burton is a self-taught musician who got his start busking in his native Los Angeles, Quesada is a Grammy winner whose background includes playing in Latin-funk orchestra Grupo Fantasma—Black Pumas soon set off on a meteoric rise that’s included performing at the Grammys and at President Biden’s inauguration, making high-profile appearances on shows like “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, winning Emerging Act of the Year from the Americana Music Association, and selling over a million album equivalents worldwide. Produced by Quesada and co-produced by Burton, their massively anticipated sophomore album Chronicles of a Diamond finds Black Pumas bringing their singular vision to life with more power, passion, and daring originality than ever before.
