Sudan Archives returns with The BPM, a bold and fearless new album released on Stones Throw Records in 2025. Recorded across Los Angeles, Chicago, and Detroit, the record channels the energy of those cities into a genre-blurring collection that merges electronic, hip-hop, soul, and pop into something that sounds entirely its own. Featuring contributions from members of the Black chamber music collective D-Composed, The BPM represents a significant creative leap for one of music's most distinctive voices.
At its core, The BPM is a breakup record with real emotional weight, threading themes of loss, liminality, and self-reclamation through booming, dance-floor-ready arrangements. It's Sudan Archives' grittiest work to date — rawer and more urgent than her acclaimed Natural Brown Prom Queen — yet never loses sight of melody or momentum, delivering a tracklist that holds its energy from start to finish. This is an album that sounds like nothing else out there, making it an essential addition to any serious collection.
