Spell 31 (Vinyl) - By: Ibeyi - Model Number: XL1246LP

Description

Afro-Cuban, French twins Lisa-Kaind© and Naomi D­az, known to the world as Ibeyi, have returned to announce the details of their new album Spell 31, out on XL Recordings.

It™s no coincidence that Ibeyi has returned to a world in need of spiritual healing. After tackling subjects like womanhood, racism, and activism on their 2017 release Ash and familial history, death and origins on their 2015 self-titled release, on Spell 31 the twins set out to remobilize the power of their birth given destiny as Ibeyi, which has led them on a path to restoration in pursuit of true harmony, healing and magic. Featuring 10 new songs, written, produced and recorded by Ibeyi, who worked again with their long-time producer Richard Russell (Ash, Ibeyi), over the course of 2021 in London, Spell 31 features appearances from Jorja Smith, Pa Salieu, BERWYN, Ibeyi™s father and mother and a reimagining of Black Flag™s Rise Above.�

Ibeyi™s Spell 31 is their boldest offering yet, an antidote to apathy in a divided world.� Janaya Future Khan  - activist and co-founder of the international Black Lives Matter movement

Since the release of their critically-acclaimed sophomore album Ash and the duo™s globally acclaimed, eponymous debut album, Ibeyi™s music has garnered fans and collaborators in some of the most iconic artists of today including Beyonc©, Alvin Ailey, JR, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Prince, Roy Hargrove, Adele, Kamasi Washington, David Byrne and Emicida; a result of Ibeyi™s uniquely, captivating blend of Yoruban music with modern jazz, pop, electronic, soul and hip-hop. Their music and original compositions have been featured in the films ROMA and How to Stop a Recurring Dream, and in campaigns for Chanel, Nike, and Louis Vuitton. Spell 31 will be Ibeyi™s third studio album release.
