Seven-time GRAMMY nominees Black Pumas have dropped the undeniably catchy banger “Ice Cream (Pay Phone).” This is the fourth track to be unveiled from the band’s highly anticipated new album, Chronicles of a Diamond, out this Friday, October 27th. Due to popular demand, the band has also announced additional live dates in Austin (12/3) and Chicago (1/25) – see below for complete itinerary.
“Ice Cream (Pay Phone)” was written and co-produced by the band’s singer-songwriter Eric Burton and produced by guitarist Adrian Quesada. Burton wrote the fuzzed-out, falsetto-laced love song years ago, then further developed it with bassist/keyboardist Josh Blue during an impromptu session at two in the morning. “When left alone I tend to work in an unorthodox way, where the colors don’t go together quite like you’d expect them to,” says Burton, whose lyrics playfully interpolate a classic jump-rope rhyme. “With that song the big, distorted guitar doesn’t seem like it should work with how I’m singing, but it sounded so soulful in a way that felt just right to me.”
The music video was directed by Alan del Rio Ortiz and shot on location in the band’s hometown of Austin, Texas with friends and other local performers hand-selected by Eric Burton.
