Black Pumas unveil the brand new single, "Mrs. Postman"

The track is accompanied by a playful new music video directed by Amos David McKay who also directed a live session of "Colors" from the band’s self-titled debut album.

Co-written by the band’s singer/songwriter/producer Eric Burton and guitarist/producer Adrian Quesada, along with keyboardist JaRon Marshall, the song marks the first time Black Pumas have co-written with another musician. Also produced by Quesada and co-production by Burton, "Mrs Postman" is a piano-driven serenade.

“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,” Quesada explains.

In adding his contribution to “Mrs. Postman,” Burton imbued his lyrics with equal parts idiosyncratic poetry and humanistic sensitivity. “I was partly thinking about how much joy the postmen can bring to people’s lives, but I also wanted to encourage the people in my family and anyone else working a blue-collar job,” Burton says. “I know from firsthand experience how arduous it can be, and I wanted to send a message saying, ‘I still see all the beauty and light in you.’”
