Black Pumas – “More Than a Love Song”

Black Pumas announce their sophomore album Chronicles of a Diamond, which drops October 27, with its lead single “More Than a Love Song.” “’More Than a Love Song’ is a message I borrowed from my Uncle Steve. As a songwriter and caregiver, he’d listen to me write songs from afar and if I were lucky he’d have a pointer or two for me. ‘Life is more than a love song,’” Eric Burton shares in a statement.
