This is the music that keeps you listening in your car even though you pulled home 10 minutes ago.

[@jimvandermoolen1546]

Omg, I just did that.

[@heitorcampos9191]

Always jajaja

[@berlingolingoful]

HAH!! I mean, what?

[@beerok82]

Currently doing that....again.

[@maryscutella7221]

I've done that several times! Ha!!

[@terryfoster7126]

I just discovered Black Pumas. At 62 Ive wondered for many many years whether I would ever hear real music played from the soul again. Its a breath of fresh air to hear and see such rarity again. Black Pumas will make love to your soul! This is real music!!!

[@mariajesusgarcialarrain930]

😊\11\w❤😊

[@ancientfifer]

Black Pumas MUST tour with Tedeschi Trucks Band, PUHLEASE!!!!!!! So Good!!

[@jrc7660]

ancientfifer not more than one minute before reading your statement I was thinking how great it would be to get them together Music brings souls together, may you be blessed friend

[@ancientfifer]

JRC76 Peace To You as well!

[@rafaelandresantunez]

Jesus the 'Colors' songs has to be one of the best songs I've ever heard in the ENTIRE misery of my life

[@tracytimberman6249]

I agree!! I cannot get enough of these songs!!

[@mikrodronefiendvideos5612]

Rafael Antunez ditto

[@markjefferson2434]

I'm telling you.

[@priroad]

me too !!

[@LeenaStark]

Oh man... it literally had me in tears! Thats how deep it moved my Soul.

[@lucasfernandes6574]

Meus amigos será que eu sou o único brasileiro prestigiando essa qualidade toda velho?!!! PQP a música ainda respirar e muito com gente dessas qualidades chegando viu!!!

[@eretrogames7154]

A parte boa, não é pra qualquer um gosto refinado é raro...

[@KYLANMARINHO]

Terceiro brasileiro aqui haha

[@fabioa.bellaver9971]

Bah mano, que som perfeito.

[@prijarra]

Não, eu amo essa banda também!

[@BrazilWorld]

Maravilha! Ouvidos sensíveis agradecem!

[@hallelueyaxx1677]

You know the music is good when your butt has goosebumps

[@cwhiatt73]

I was so deeply saddened when Charles Bradley passed away. Then I found Black Pumas and they helped fill that void. Thank you

[@_krig]

thats exactly how I felt brother

[@deek.hundal5623]

These guys deserve so much more recognition for their talent. This type of sound is rare these days and I'm so happy I discovered this gem!

[@denitza]

When your goosebumps got goosebumps - it's Black Pumas

[@sketchbookbafna]

had this pop up on my TL for a while, finally listened... kicking myself for not listening earlier

[@mercurialpierrot7073]

This album is a classic. It is also one of the only truly great albums of the 2000s imo.

[@osuisthebest]

You really must not listen to much music my man

[@baybay4me]

Black Moon Rising - WHAT A VIBE

[@JoseMiguelGarciaFraile]

For me also best descovery this year. It feels like falling in love, you want to have that song around you all the time

[@the_g9456]

This young man has one of the best voices in music today. Colors is such a fantastic song and he really showcases his vocals.

[@omywaterdog]

Colors, My God! ……music to my ears

[@noeliavalverde1]

this is the best discovery I have had in music this year. I love their album and how great they are. Real music

[@ancientfifer]

nv1 couldn’t agree more! Just WOW!! Tight band! Polished! True to their inspiration and masters of their own unique style!

[@judithbutow4175]

More people need to hear these people. Wonderful groove!

[@DazzaDirect]

yeah this band , #AliceSmith and #TobeNwigwe my top 3 this year, Colours is MY JAM

[@edwardssistershands]

Discover? They found you. A publicist made all this happen, paid youtube, paid vevo, paid Paste. Watching on youtube and discovering are far from the same path.

[@J4CKTR1PP3R]

You should check out some other label mates of the Black Pumas off of Colemine Records... There is some serious Soul groups Terry and Bob Cole are releasing of their label. Black Pumas are the most soulful group to come out of the 512, Austin Texas...

[@randypeeples9870]

THESE CATS ARE IN THE GROOVE!! MERCY!!

[@HellaPeno]

Eric Burton got the "it factor" and with the magic imparted by Quesada and co, y'all have an extraordinary ability of winning hearts over with SOLID music.

[@LeenaStark]

I always come back to this song at the end of every night... and I close my eyes and imagine a world UNITED through music, and love for our fellow beings, a world without all of this hatred and division & racism going on everywhere... Cant we all live as ONE surrounded by all our favorite colors of our sisters + our brothers y'all??? 😔

[@deremijesy2374]

you only have visions of the Futur and the Futur Is NOW!

[@coffeegirlantifahq4922]

One of the best bands EVER !! They don't have even an ok song, all masterpieces

[@shataway]

Very true. Can’t wait for their next album.

[@drmarcusgeorge]

I really wanna thank this guy for bringing back this genre. This like marvin gaye, issac hayne and bobby womack all mixed up in one artist!!

[@JasonJPM]

Saw these guys in Columbia MO at Roots Blues and BBQ. They were the highlight of the entire 3 day festival. Finally was able to get a copy of the LP.

[@rechanasivadasan1779]

Who dislikes this????????????? Unbelievable!! Such incredible music!

[@JimJamesMyName]

Black Pumas: my new favorite active band. Good music is back, ladies and gents. Their sound invigorates the soul.

[@MarcoIenaWhite]

"Colors" live is same as the recorded one, congrats!!!

[@RCaldwell]

That music is all Chicago, great-migration, blues, soul & R&B - If Curtis Mayfield left his vibe to someone, it's this guy. Wonderful.

[@cestmoi5702]

What a sweet, beautiful young man. Artful spirit and heart. Love to you, youngblood. ❤️🙏🏾

[@bestofmusic5160]

Great work !!! Band of the year !! Texan proud !!!! Oh Yeahh!

[@annap.1322]

This band is amazing! The song Colors is No1 😎

[@children0fthegrave]

Oh man a collab between these guys and Anderson Paak would be uuunreaall!!!

[@sodiumlights]

its 22.31 july 2019 and i`m watching a new, Black Pumas rockin` bookshop cut video of Colours. It`s a soulkiller.

[@DazzaDirect]

[@shawnraney8818]

Finally some great music, can't stop listening Black Pumas.

[@Ukimix]

Really love Colors. And I like the solo guitar much more in this performance. Less hits and more feeling! Really nice, guys.

[@joannajourneys]

Omg. I love how everyone waits for him to pick up his shades from the floor and put them back on before they clap 👏🏽😫🤣😂

[@walterojas1]

In the midst of this confinement due to the pandemic in the midst of concern about the coronavirus, finding Black Pumas in this crazy May 2020 is a blessing. His sound, his lyrics, his great talent is great.

[@paulchild8286]

Aside from the excellent EVERYTHING here, the bass player is phenomenal. Punches every note perfectly.

[@stefanmeli2020]

this OCT 33 version is so much better than the Spotify version. I love the unique phrasing the guitarist uses.

[@Elisavau11]

Amo esta música! Felicitaciones chicos y un abrazo desde Córdoba Argentina

[@johnhendricks8140]

Great singing great musicians. The singers remind of New Birth. I like how dude throws the glasses off.

[@abbii]

[@brettgroh1112]

I came here because I was reading about the guitarist (Adrian Quesada) in Guitar Player Magazine. Wow! Love this band...it's always very cool to discover a new, great band.

[@flexuria]

They just made me sit still for 23 minutes. All I could do was listening and be amazed. Fantastic music!

Thank God Austin Texas attracts the best of the best of the best. We are truly blessed.

The man can sing, the band lays down a cool groove, and yeah you can't stop listening. fantastic.

[@4ngelo_rib3iro]

first time I hear colors, I fell in love.

[@juliavargas4904]

A mixture of the 60s. With a twist of his unquie style.beautiful

[@grayskyblues3553]

I have a meltdown every time I hear “Colors.” Pure genius!

[@KeenanReimerWatts]

Colors - there's a reason there are many of them, because they're all beautiful. What an amazing song.

[@orangeyellowtulip]

Goodnessssz💗My Monday has NOW been cured❣ Smoooth😍

[@DazzaDirect]

Medicament Monday for me today ;-]

[@tracytimberman6249]

I already think that Eric Burton will go down as one of the best vocalists EVER!! So crazy talented!!

[@pamelagrant9243]

Let's hope he takes care of that beautiful instrument that is his voice and doesn't blow it out too early. May we be watching him singing in his eighties and doing a d*** good job of it.

[@g.medina3717]

Just discovered these guys, wow that “Colors” what amazing song, killin it with the groove and soul, now addicted to their music!✌🏼

[@tommytwotone81]

The "algorythym" (spelled that way on purpose) brought me to this band last year and I'm glad it did

[@lokomusic1971]

@@EricG-bv2ui they are completely incredible man !!! ... so beautiful as well ... angels... Amazing background vocals

[@EricG-bv2ui]

@@lokomusic1971 I got to see them when they were in Toronto 2 months ago. I didn't know what to expect since the venue was small. I was super excited when I walked in and saw 2 mics together to the left - we were going to have back up vocals. Angela & Lauren were amazing, they sounded great and added amazing dynamic to the show. I got to talk to them after the show and they are just as amazing to talk to. I'm hoping to catch them again when I go to England late November.

Omg. This band is great especially the lead vocalist. I discovered them by chance as an ad on the Roland Martin vid. Love the song colors. In fact all the songs are so soulful and it brings out the soul in you. I'm excited to share the wonderful discovery with others. I hope you guys blow up.

[@anaguerrerosholisticwellbe2788]

An ad in the middle of the song? I'm out. Shame because I was really enjoying it!
