Every Monday, Add of the Week unveils all the new songs going into the 88Nine on-air playlist, with one hand-picked selection put in the spotlight by a member of our music team.
This week’s pick is the latest from psych-rock duo Black Pumas, who are back with “More Than a Love Song.” To say their second album is highly anticipated is beyond an understatement. Chronicles of a Diamond, which is out Oct 27 via ATO, follows up on their smash 2019 self-titled debut. Produced by Black Pumas’ own Adrian Quesada along with bandmates Eric Burton and John Congleton, the song is a mesmerizing, lean little gem that gets right into you and hits all the buttons of your soul.
