Rock trio The Black Moods are back with their fiery, adrenaline-fueled new single "Passion." Pulsing with blistering hooks and heavy drums, the track speaks to the internal battle of deciding if the adoration you feel for someone is enough to keep a relationship together. The single follows the band's earlier 2024 releases, the sensual "Sugar," and the melodic-driven "Heaven."
"Our new single, 'Passion' doesn't pull any punches. It's a straight-ahead, high-energy, balls-out rock song," shares vocalist/guitarist Josh Kennedy. "Jordan Hoffman, our bassist, came in with the music and brought the idea to the table. The lyrics and melody just fell into place quite easily after that. Lyrically, I think it paints a beautifully perfect picture of a passionate yet volatile relationship that could blow up at any moment. Not necessarily a healthy situation, but an entertaining one."
