Black Pumas have released “Mrs. Postman,” the second track to be shared ahead of their sophomore album Chronicles of a Diamond, out on October 27 via ATO Records. The track, which features a hypnotic piano melody, head-nodding drums, and a well-placed tambourine beneath vocalist Eric Burton’s spectacular voice, was written alongside keyboardist JaRon Marshall, marking the first time Black Pumas have co-written with another musician.
Regarding the collaboration, multi-instrumentalist Adrian Quesada explained, “JaRon and I used to get together on afternoons and make hip-hop beats for fun, and ‘Mrs. Postman’ ended up coming out of one of those sessions.”
Along with the new single—and a music video directed by Amos David McKay—the Austin-based soul duo has announced new tour dates for 2024 spanning Europe and the US, including Philadelphia, Chicago, New York, and a special two-night run at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium.
