Portugal. The Man- Chris Black Changed My Life

Label: Atlantic

Released 6/23/2023

Portugal The Man are back after a brief hiatus with a new record titled Chris Black Changed My Life,  the follow up to their global hit record Woodstock.   PTM have set a personal standard to “change things up” each time they go into the studio to record a new record.  This time they went with famed producer Jeff Bhasker (Harry Styles, Kanye West, Beyonce, Mark Ronson, etc.) to challenge their process.  The result of the collaboration brought a new depth to the music and a record that is in John Gourley's, lead singer/songwriters, words “our most complete record that follows a story line from beginning to end”.  The record delivers on PTM’s eclectic-ness, pulling influence from music across the globe.  Chris Black Changed My Life  is a personal story about the loss of a friend and the struggle that comes with it and ultimately ends with power and endless influence those people will have on your life.
