People are talking about the Texas based Black Pumas .. and they are saying some pretty amazing things:
“The duo’s flair for drama is so stirring, they can seem acutely cinematic... Burton lends an elegant elasticity to Quesada’s tightly layered productions.” – PITCHFORK
“Sam Cooke meets Wu-Tang Clan in the Texas-based duo’s suprisingly fresh take on 70s soul... a debut so perfectly realised by the standards they’ve set themselves that you wonder what could possibly come next. ” – THE GUARDIAN “ONES TO WATCH”
“Tireless, charismatic energy... tapping the collective unease of the national moment.” – ROLLING STONE
“The world does indeed need Black Pumas and their message right now (4/5 Stars)” – Q MAGAZINE
“A soulful explosion... Quesada’s grooves are impeccably matched with Burton’s voice, which can go from buttery Al Green to Wilson Pickett bluster in no time flat.” – UNCUT
So it's no surprise that they are making th rounds on the TV circuit - check out their performance from Fallon below, their Austin City Limits performance HERE and look for them on Ellen on Monday ... oh - did we mention they are nominated for the “Best New Artist” Grammy award?
