Hey folks, it’s been a hot minute out here since we’ve been scribbling our heart into pithy words for you. So I’ve gathered a little creative strength and overcame my general somber, wintery ‘bleh’ to actually just touch base with a Franco-Cuban duo I hold dearly.
I’m well aware that it’s been a week or so that Ibeyi has hit us with a brand new single titled “Made Of Gold” off of their upcoming release. However, this new single is truly a keeper in our books. Especially since they’ve featured a hotly-tipped artist that roams by the name of Pa Salieu.
The track eases in with a little sneaky French lesson that literally translates to “Let’s do it” as if the three artists were candidly recording just before they belt out some inspiring music. Pa Salieu tagging along aptly before unleashing some vocal realness upon us. Carried amazingly throughout the track by the sisters Lisa-Kaindé and Naomi Diaz who deliver some stunning magic once again. Needless to say, that rhythm has gotten the better of us and that new single foreshadows the future release (it’ll be their 3rd release) that Ibeyi has been at work in the studio, stirring some delicious music with Richard Russell, XL Recordings boss, and longtime producer. Hit play below for more.
We also strongly recommend the accompanying music video directed by Daniel Sannwald after the visual concept by Ibeyi
