Capitol Cuts

Capitol Cuts – Live from Studio A is an electrifying recording that captures the raw energy of Black Pumas in their element. Recorded direct to acetate with no overdubs, this live session at the legendary Capitol Studios in Los Angeles is a testament to the band’s musicianship and intensity. After a long stretch of cancelled shows, Black Pumas entered the studio last fall and laid down eight explosive tracks that showcase their distinct sound and powerful presence.

The highlight of the session is the mind-blowing seven-minute rendition of “Colors,” a track that simmers with pent-up energy and passion, almost bursting through the grooves of the vinyl. This track would later earn a Grammy nomination for Record of the Year, underscoring its profound impact and the band’s undeniable skill.

Capitol Cuts – Live from Studio A is more than just a recording; it’s a snapshot of a moment in time—raw, unfiltered, and brimming with musical energy. The live session is an unmissable experience for fans of Black Pumas and anyone who appreciates the electric connection between artists and their craft.
