After some quiet time, the Franco-Cuban sister duo Ibeyi are back with a powerful new song called “Made Of Gold.” It’s the first taste of their upcoming third album, and it’s already winning hearts.
The track features rising artist Pa Salieu, adding even more magic to their sound. It begins with a soft French phrase meaning “Let’s do it,” like a playful warm-up before the music bursts open. Pa Salieu then steps in with bold and real vocals, perfectly matching the energy of the sisters Lisa-Kaindé and Naomi Diaz, who once again deliver their soulful and rich harmonies.
The rhythm of this song is smooth yet strong, pulling listeners in with every beat. It mixes Ibeyi’s unique blend of Afro-Cuban roots and modern sounds, creating something both timeless and fresh.
“Made Of Gold” gives us a bright glimpse of what’s coming next from Ibeyi. They are working once again with Richard Russell, the XL Recordings producer who has helped shape their sound from the start.
Don’t miss the stunning music video directed by Daniel Sannwald, built around Ibeyi’s own visual concept. This song is pure gold — and just the beginning.
