Puma Blue’s debut album In Praise of Shadows blends soulful vocals, D’Angelo-inspired guitars, and muted electronic beats across 14 tracks exploring light and darkness, healing, and love. Jacob Allen reflects openly on past relationships and personal struggles, with standout songs like the intimate Sheets—sampling Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind—and lead single Velvet Leaves, which channels Jeff Buckley’s emotional intensity while confronting trauma.
