The video for Black Pumas song “Colours” proves why the new band were nominated for a Grammy Award earlier this week.

Days after the soul-funk duo played their first sell-out show in London, they’ve unveiled their new single, which was one of the most-added tracks on AAA radio in America this summer.

Black Pumas are led by frontman Eric Burton and guitarist-producer Adrian Queseda, who hail from Austin, Texas.

They were a surprise inclusion as part of this year’s Best New Artists nominees for the forthcoming Grammys, alongside Rosalia, Lizzo and Lil Nas X.

The cinematic video for “Colours” is directed by Kristian Mercado – you can watch it below.

They released their self-titled debut album back in June, with Pitchfork praising Burton for his “sweet, plaintive voice” in their glowing review. Their most famous songs include “Black Moon Rising” and “Fire”.

Black Pumas will play Islington Assembly Hall on 7 February – you can buy tickets here.
