Breaking away from his usual manic energy and fuzzed-up guitars, “Black Love” introduces a softer side to the artist, featuring heartfelt vocals, dark twangy guitars and a touch of self-deprecating humour. The accompanying music video was shot in Black Pope’s apartment with a small team, adding a cosy intimacy to the love song.
Based between Ireland and Berlin, the artist’s past successes have included an appearance at Ireland Music Week, an opening slot for Fontaines DC, and the premiere of a self-directed video for "Werewolf, Man" at Berlin’s Rollberg Kino. The artist's debut EP, "Music for Girls Vol. 1," has garnered acclaim from Hot Press Magazine, Visions.de, and Psychedelic Baby Mag.
A dreamy and moving debut. Production as raw and intuitive as fingers connecting with a guitar or sweat with a cymbal. Everyone is in a cult these days, so it's nice to hear about someone surviving. Black Pope
