I dig it. For sure, yeah, I dig it. This is music you dig, y’know? I don’t know that there are any songs I love, no real standouts, but I like just about every song, they’re all pretty good, they’re all vibing. I think it would’ve been too mellow, too repetitive for me a year ago. But I’ve gotten better at listening since then, and in particular I think I’ve gotten better at listening to the blues, and to blues inspired stuff. I’m a big fan of bluesy songs at this point.

This is a soulful, vibey band. After reading your post I am inspired, or at least intrigued with the idea of getting to know the Blues more. I listen to this kind of music in the same way you described your experience with instrumental music. I can tell it’s good. I like it. But I just can’t stay focused on it. It stays perpetually in the background for me. Sometimes I would snap myself back to attention and say – pay attention girl! Listen to the lyrics, the structure, the instrumental magic – sometime! But then I would float away again, albeit happily – like I said, this this music is vibey and I like the groove! I just couldn’t stay focused. So with that – recognizing the quality and enjoy the atmosphere, but unable to connect – I give Black Pumas a B-!
